vProjekt
www.myspace.com/vprojekt
( ;D --> Hailing from the rainforests of the East Coast, vProjekt is a dark electronic soundscape worlds away from the beat-driven majority of modern industrial releases, originally brought to our attention by Jay Ruin of CEDIGEST with the prophetic description “So much more than EBM”.vProjekt’s standout sonic signature already caught the ear of no less a scene-figurehead than Johan van Roy of SUICIDE COMMANDO - who not only included the track “Warlord” on his latest “World Wide Electronics 2” sampler, but also agreed to contribute guest vocals to the bonus track “Swarms And Hives”.)

Gary Numan

( ;D --> One of the founding fathers of synth pop, Gary Numan’s influence extends far beyond his lone American hit, “Cars,” which still stands as one of the defining new wave singles. That seminal track helped usher in the synthpop era on both sides of the Atlantic, especially his native England, where he was a genuine pop star and consistent hitmaker during the early ’80s. Even after new wave had petered out, Numan’s impact continued to make itself felt; his dark, paranoid vision, theatrically icy alien persona, and clinical, robotic sound were echoed strongly in the work of many goth rock and (especially) industrial artists to come.)

Vcmg (Vince Clarke & Martin L. Gore.)
http://mute.com/vcmg
( ;D --> After 30 years working on their respective ongoing music projects, Vince Clarke (Erasure / Yazoo / Depeche Mode) and Martin L. Gore (Depeche Mode) come together for the first time since 1981 as VCMG to release a brand new album preceded by a series of EPs. VCMG is the fruit of initially tentative discussion and subsequent enthused collaboration where Vince and Martin, both influential as pioneers in electronic music, get to exercise their lifelong love of the genre as the techno inspired VCMG.)

Kangding Ray
www.kangdingray.com
( ;D --> Kangding Ray is David Letellier Born 1978 in France, lives and works in Berlin.Studied and graduated in architecture in Rennes and Berlin, works in different fields: music, architecture, performances, installations. Evolved as a guitarist and drummer in bands whose influences ranged from noise-rock, to jazz, before buying an akai sampler and moving on to electronic music. Kangding ray's music reflects his wide musical background, and a particular way of merging beats and textured soundscapes into slowly evolving compositions. KR combines machines with « real instruments » in a subtle and rythmic suite, integrating noises, walls of distortion, massive bass lines, voices and field recordings. The result is a blend of deep advanced grooves and dark atmospheres, that one could describe as « abstract bass music »)

( ;D --> Enhanced and incredibly produced bass music from the Raster Noton camp courtesy of Kangding Ray, reinforced with stunning remixes from Alva Noto and Ben Frost. With 'Pruitt Igoe' Kangding Ray augments his sound to Raster's current avant-techno agenda, logging onto the 'floor with the burly swing of 'Rise' and 'Fall', both echoing Dubstep's move into slower tempos and elevated groove technology like some uncompromising Teutonic cousin to Pinch's 'Croydon House' sound or a steel-plated Shackleton rhythm trip.)
