SEVEN TRACKS BY SEVEN ICONIC ARTISTS. EACH PRESSED 100 TIMES AND GIVEN A ONE-OF-A-KIND ORIGINAL SLEEVE DESIGN BY 700 CREATIVES

2015 ARTISTS AND TRACKS REVEALED

SLEEVE DESIGN SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN

Secret 7”, the annual project that brings music and art together for a good cause, is returning for 2015 bigger and better than ever before. Taking place throughout April, the exhibition will be moving to a new home at Somerset House, the renowned arts and cultural centre steeped in history.

Today, the seven world-famous artists and tracks for 2015 are revealed:

The Rolling Stones – Dead Flowers

Diana Ross & The Supremes – Reflections

Underworld – Born Slippy (Nuxx)

The Chemical Brothers – Let Forever Be

St Vincent – Digital Witness

Peter Gabriel – Sledgehammer

The Maccabees – Go

As in previous years, the seven musicians represent a diverse range of styles and eras; from arguably the greatest living rock and Motown artists through to seminal British electronic pioneers via some of the most innovative and critically acclaimed contemporary acts around.

For those not in the know, the concept is simple: each year Secret 7” take one iconic track from seven legendary musicians and press each one 100 times to vinyl. Each record receives a one-of-a-kind sleeve, as designed by 700 creatives, from global high-profile artists to talented emerging designers. All are welcome to submit their designs.

The 700 records will then be displayed in a month-long exhibition at Somerset House, after which they go on sale for the uniform price of £50 on May 4th. The only catch is that the buyer won’t know who the record is by, or who has designed the sleeve until they have parted with their cash. Therein lies the secret…

Submissions for sleeve designs are now being accepted on the website – .... Closing date for entries is March 4th.

The list of designers involved in previous years reads like a who’s who of the world’s greatest living artists, featuring the likes of Ai Weiwei, Gilbert & George, David Shrigley, Sir Antony Gormley, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Sir Paul Smith, Kate Moross, D*Face and many, many more.

Track contributions from previous years have come from some of the biggest names in music, from multiple-Grammy winning icon Elton John, to definitive British bands The Cure and T.Rex; hip hop legends Public Enemy and Nas to game-changing pioneers of pop Roxy Music.

A program of events will be held throughout the exhibition. These will be announced over the coming months.
