( ;D --> Moonbootica are German party DJs on a mission. Whilst their German DJ contemporaries clung to the whispering overtures of minimalism, glorifying gentle fizzles and clicks as symphonies, Moonbootica went hell for leather as far in the opposite direction as it is possible to go. Their sound is one of unique, booty shakin music and has seen them tagged as Germanys premier dance export.)

( ;D --> European Electropop finally in the 21st Century. Courage to experiment is always worthwhile, especially if you have enough ideas, and sufficiently independent of the established record industry.)

Plaid
www.plaid.co.uk
( ;D --> Plaid is a British electronic music duo comprising Andy Turner and Ed Handley, and based out of London. They are former members of The Black Dog and used many other names, such as Atypic (Andrew Turner) and Balil (Ed Handley), before settling on Plaid. They have collaborated with female singers Mara Carlyle, Nicolette and Björk. Although Plaid pre-existed the association, the duo's Ed Handley and Andy Turner spent most of their early recording years with Ken Downie as the dancefloor-confounding Black Dog Productions. Meshing well with Downie's vision of heavily hybridized post-techno and obscurantist thematics, the pair brought several nascent Plaid tracks to the Black Dog table on the group's debut, Bytes, a collection of tracks recorded by various iterations of the three members. The group recorded several albums and EPs throughout the early and mid-'90s, heley .
The pair split from Downie in 1995, and began rechanneling their efforts full-time with an EP on the neo-electro Clear label before signing to Warp. (The pair also recorded an album with European techno figure Mark Broom under the pseudonym Repeat. Both of Plaid's first two full-lengths, 1998's Not for Threes and the following year's Rest Proof Clockwork, were issued in the U.S. through Nothing. Once Warp set up a home on American shores, however, Plaid made the natural switch with the long-awaited collection Trainer, a retrospective including much of their early, pre-BDP work. The proper third album, Double Figure, followed in spring 2001, and the handy Plaid remix collection Parts in the Post was issued in 2003 by Peacefrog. The end of the year brought the duo's fourth proper LP, Spokes. Plaid was quiet on the recording front for several years, returning finally in mid-2006 with Greedy Baby, a mini-album that found the pair co-billed with visual artist Bob Jaroc.)

Beyond

( ;D --> In the summer of 1993, Da5id Din and Matthew Crofoot formed Informatik based on a shared interest in the electronic music that was coming from Europe. They began recording together immediately, and after founding SINless Records, self-released their debut album Direct Memory Access in 1995. The Duo also successfully released the album Escape to Reality under the name Din_Fiv which stormed the charts in 2000. A highly successful US tour followed, with label mates Velvet Acid Christ and Haujobb. In 2008 Informatik returns with the album Beyond, their most unique and genre-defying work to date. Featuring guitar driven dark melodies and soulful lyrics.)
