Let’s forget the disjointed and cliquey scene we live in, and bring back what once united us.” Finding their musical home in revered label Classic Music Company, set up by Luke Solomon and Derrick Carter, releasing alongside the likes of Honey Dijon, Floorplan, Seven Davis Jr., Isolée, and the mythical Spencer Kincy aka. Gemini; Girls of the Internet prepare to release their latest album When I Lost, I Found Myself in July 2024. With Tom bringing together acclaimed British vocalists and songwriters, previous singles from the project ‘Affirmations’ written by Sophie Faith, and ‘Never Ever Ever’ featuring shiv and Oscar Jerome, demonstrate the innate musicality of the project, with the intention, “to create beautiful songs within a ‘dance’ or ‘house’ framework.” With When I Lost, I Found Myself the follow-up to the acclaimed self-released Girls FM LP, named one of BBC 6 Music’s Albums of the Year in 2019 and accruing over 12M streams on the project since release, Girls Of The Internet are an act that have been firmly on the radar of key tastemakers like Gilles Peterson, Trevor Nelson, Pete Tong and Lauren Laverne for some time, and more recently BBC Radio 1’s Clara Amfo, Jaguar and Sian Eleri. With 2024 also already seeing the release of their remix of legendary artist Moby and A-List producer Anfisa Letyago’s ‘You & Me’ on Defected Records, Girls Of The Internet continue to demonstrate their sonic diversity with the soulful, deep house touch on this record. With the ability to perform as a full live band, and Tom also a high in demand and adept selector for DJ gigs, the Girls Of The Internet live experience adds another layer to the group’s offering. Having performed on home turf at Glastonbury, The Warehouse Project’s Homobloc, Drumsheds, Printworks, Latitude and Lost Village festival, as well as Ibiza shows at Pikes and Glitterbox at #1 Club in the World Hï, March 2024 will see the group’s first headline show at the iconic Jazz Cafe in Camden, supported by Classic label mate Seven Davis Jr. Crafting songs with real musicians, the group’s name was inspired by Ladies of the 80’s by Eighties Ladies, the album from a girl group produced by Roy Ayers, “I just loved the whole concept, and I wanted to do the same thing with Girls of the Internet,” explains the group’s founding member Tom Kerridge. “I wanted a name that played with gender, and people’s subconscious misogyny. Girls of the Internet is abstract - it means nothing, and it means everything.” Dani Siciliano is an American singer. She has worked with Matthew Herbert on several of his projects including the albums Around the House, Bodily Functions and Scale. She has also released two solo albums, Likes... and Slappers.

She played 1970s disco, funk, and soul records that she was able to buy inexpensively at thrift stores.While living in San Francisco she also worked as a nanny which led to a chance meeting with Matt Herbert.
