Luca Santucci & Ben Fitzgerald best known as the stage name 'Stubborn Heart' are an electronic soul music duo from London & Oxford respectively.

They actually claim to be part of a longer lineage than the garage-dubstep continuum, calling what they do "electronic soul from the heart" and citing influences from the 60s (Stubborn Heart is an old northern soul track) and 80s synth-pop as well as 90s techno, house and garage. Comparisons have been drawn with The XX, SBTRKT, My Computer, Mount Kimbie, James Blake & Four Tet.

Having signed to One Little Indian Records in mid-2012, Stubborn Heart's self titled debut has gained coverage from the likes of NME, The Guardian as well as BBC 6Music.
