Flavor of the week #26

Guy Gerber

www.guygerber.com
( ;D --> Guy is certainly one of the hottest producers in the techno scene. Next to his promising production skills Guy Gerber is also a demanded live act with bookings in many countries that love his unique sound of bittersweet harmonies, natural mixture of strong and deep grooves and futuristic basslines.)
Timing
GG_amazon
( ;D --> For those who don't listen carefully to Cocoon's varied output, Guy Gerber's "Timing" is most likely exactly what listeners think the imprint sounds like. Overpoweringly massive, unabashedly anthemic and towering in its majesty, the track is a Platonic ideal of "big room" techno.)

VNV Nation
www.myspace.com/vnvnation
( ;D --> VNV Nation are an electronic music band originally from Wexford and London, now based in Hamburg, that combines elements of industrial music, trance, synthpop and electronic body music (EBM).

The "VNV" in the name stands for Victory, not Vengeance, in keeping with the group's motto, "One should strive to achieve; not sit in bitter regret.)

Of Faith, Power and Glory
VNV_amazon
( ;D --> VNV Nation have been frequently described as one of the most unique and passionate musical acts in the world of Alternative music. Of Faith Power & Glory sees the band reach a whole new level musically. More soulful and raw than before, the album is set to be the band's strongest and most profoundly evocative release yet.)

portion control
www.myspace.com/porcon
( ;D --> Portion Control from the UK was at the forefront of the upcoming electro industrial scene in the early eighties. Inspired by the punk mentality and the first experimental industrial acts such as Throbbing Gristle, SPK or yet Chris & Cosey, Portion Control themselves influenced electro giants such as Skinny Puppy or yet Front Line Assembly.

( ;D --> Portion Control also performed a marvelous gig at the latet & last ;( Tinitus Festival in April (09): http://tinitus.com/index.php .)

Slug
PC_Paypal
( ;D --> In the past several years, Portion Control has done well to regain their status as innovators in the field of electronic music. While widespread recognition still eludes them, it has been to their advantage as they've operated as artists in the truest sense of the word, devoting their energy to providing the masses with an audiovisual extravaganza that adheres to no rules but their own. With their latest outing, deviously titled SLUG, the group - now solely consisting of John Whybrew and Dean Piavani - continues further down the path of experimental software synthesis paved by their more recent work, while still giving us a few accessibly danceable tracks to hold the interest of the casual listener.)

Markus Güntner

www.kompakt.fm/artists/markus_guentner
( ;D --> Along with Olaf Dettinger, Ulf Lohmann, and Argentina's Gustavo Lamas, Markus Guentner represents the ambient-leaning end of the Kompakt label spectrum, proof positive that the label offers far more than tech-house; his productions for the Cologne, Germany, imprint are rarely reliant upon beats and overt melodies, often sticking to drifting, oceanic atmospherics and chime-like effects.)
