( ;D --> Vladislav Delay, Uusitalo, Luomo, Conoco, Sistol. Under a raft of different names this Finnish artist (Sasu Ripatti *1976) has experimented with ambient, broken beat, glitch as well as grooves and house music with soulful vocals. In addition he has collaborated with and worked for a wide range of artists ranging from Scissor Sisters and Craig Armstrong to AGF, Black Dice, Massive Attack, Towa Tei and Ryuichi Sakamoto. While his side-projects and remixes are there to flirt with more stable rhythms and dancefloor institutions, his main love as well as his background is in experimenting with different kind of sounds and rhythms; a quest to find some music not heard yet. The soundtrack of Vladislav Delay. His forte is the rhythm, even if so subtle at times. In fact, he may as well be classified as a “percussionist” (actually he is originally a drummer) rather than an electronic musician despite the fact that that is how he mostly generates his sound and music, because it is the beat and its possibilities which lie closest to his heart, which further serves to explain why he has experimented with it from so many different musical angles.)

( ;D --> In 1983 Ryan Davis first saw the light of the world. At the age of 9 he started with classical guitar training to the age of 18. During these years he has experienced a fascination with anything that created an analog tone. Aged 21 he began spinning records and became a good Dj but quite soon he realized he had to start writing his own music. The incentive for producing came from the common problem not be able to find the type of music he was seeking. It lacked on that certain something, so Ryan was inspired to express that special in his own music with lot of passion. He greatly enjoyed his professional classical guitar training which was helpful to reveal a sensible understanding for melody and harmony. He tried to explore and invent new possibilities of novel songs and ideas by spending hours in the studio emerging an own innovative style. Ryan Davis is always looking for the unknown and unique. Right now Ryan is on a journey to the wide spaces of the sound world.)

( ;D -->Taking influence from an array of seemingly incoherent noises, from the indefinable and unforgettable mindtricks of Arthur Russell to the slowhouse of Kassem Mosse, from the alternate VHS realities of James Feraro and Jamal Moss to the Linn Drum classics of the
vintage Prince era. The tracks create their own pace and agenda, largely shying away from the dancefloor in favour of something more complex and hard to define. Following on from the tribal malfunctions of opening intro Signature, New Ground heads into a chasm of layered loops, creating a decimated and re-wired funk template coloured in with frayed percussion and vocal samples. North To South starts off from similar ground but adds a shuffling vibe at a deceptively intoxicated 110 bpm. Intermittent is something altogether different, taking perfectly formed Boogie templates and screwing with them until nothing quite fits, brittle elements floating in and out of time yet somehow keeping it together, before Dark Details delivers the most dancefloor compatible six minute stretch of the set, all clanging stabs and dense percussion, somewhere between Shackleton and Bam Bam.)

Accessory
www.myspace.com/accessoryweb
( ;D --> The Accessory-project was founded in 1994 by Dirk Steyer. Right after Kay Resch followed his musical inspiration and joined the project. Inspired by Electro-/Techno-Acts of the early nineties. Accessory returns in 2011 to orchestrate another addictive thunderstorm of hard EBM melodies and smashing bass. Delivering the electro scene with one of this year's premier alternative chart attacks, "Underbeat" is the band's sixth full-length release since their 2001 debut album "Jukka2147.de." Influential bands such as Front Line Assembly and Mentallo and the Fixer served as a foundation over the years as frontman Dirk Steyer continued to craft his own unique fusion of dark electronics. Now Accessory is pushing its sounds to new pioneering peaks.)

Mist

( ;D --> Chances are, you’ve listened to one of the projects of the men who make up Mist. John Elliott, of Emeralds/Outer Space/Imaginary Softwoods, and Sam Goldberg, of Radio People, have teamed up once again for Mist’s upcoming sophomore album, House. “Twin Lanes” is the opener for the album, and it displays a perfect balance of Elliot’s epic and deep loops alongside Goldberg’s colorful synth lines.)
