www.facebook.com/BorisDivider
( ;D --> Well known for the Electro side, since late nineties Boris Divider is producing electronic music under several names and alias, always in touch with the darker minimal and progressive electronics. He also got influences on the one hand from the first ebm waves, industrial/dark electronic scene and on the other hand from the old school electro and hiphop movement that appeared on the streets of his Madrid city in the early nineties. Cult bands such as Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, YMO, Vangelis... or SciFi film composers like John Carpenter, Brad Fiedel or David Chronenberg.)

dieantwoord.com
( ;D --> Formed in Cape Town, South Africa during Spring 2009, Die Antwoord is an afrikaans futuristic rap crew consisting of Ninja (Watkin Tudor "Waddy" Jones of MaxNormal.TV) and Yo-Landi Vi$$er. DJ Hi-Tek keeps the beats nice and dirty. The majority of their debut album, $O$, was released for free on the Internet in 2009 - Ninja also handed out free albums with hand-drawn artwork at live shows called $O$: Burnt By the Master. As of Q4 2009, the band were 'officially' set to be working with Magnetron Music and were due to release a very special, limited-edition package for 2010 featuring the album, a DVD and a book. Die Antwoord's $O$ Album/DVD/Book package had a European release pending (featuring photography by Roger Ballen. But, it is impossible to buy their music anywhere, it seems...)

System Control (Ekman Remix)
soundcloud.com/invisibleguy/exclusive-dmitry-distant-system-control-ekman-remix
( ;D --> The clash of two greater artists is the clash of minimal synth and dark electro. This time, there is no room for an original track, but room for a remix. Two artists that have gained control, two artists that have some thing in common, and some things that are uncommon. As the lavishly created spasmic rhythms that follow a trail emblazoned by the most minimalistic of synth you’d ever lay your hands upon, but at the same time delivering the chaotic atmosphere of electro. Yes, electro was infused in the original version of “System Control“, but it’s even more infused with Ekman‘s style of electro, which has a muddy layer of atmospheric delight – to infect your senses with. There may be similarities between the two, but they’re in no way so similar that it wouldn’t make any difference if he (Ekman) lent a hand to the production. No, he has not produced the track itself, but his analogue remixing has been a similarity to be reckoned with.)

Rabia Sorda
www.myspace.com/rabiasorda
( ;D --> Rabia Sorda is the side project of Erk Aicrag, lead singer of the Mexican aggrotech band Hocico. Rabia Sorda, like Hocico, is electronic music, though it is somewhat less aggressive and noisy than Hocico. While his main project, Hocico, goes down a certain path, Aicrag uses Rabia Sorda as a vehicle for his own musical creativity. He mixes different aspects ranging from ethnical influences to 1980s-style melodies and punky attitude to aggressive electronic music.)

Kirk, and Chris Watson, the group was named after Cabaret Voltaire, a nightclub in Zürich, Switzerland, that was a centre for the early Dada movement.

Equitant

equitant.blogspot.se
( ;D --> You don't exactly expect hard techno-EBM coming from Texas (USA), and yet Equitant is a project that has actually been active since the early 1990’s. Equitant stands for high-tech & modern techno-EBM, and can be defined as an offspring between bands like Nitzer Ebb & DAF at one side, and a darkened Giorgio Moroder at the other. You hear some of the hardest beats in old-school EBM, with a touch of old-school techno, and a great deal of hard energy stemming from 1980's electronic music. The mix of both styles is simply irresistible and injects a refreshing boost to the traditional electronic music of today. Equitant’s antecedent sound started out as an ambient synthesizer project in 1993, then evolved to a cold mechanical.)

( ;D --> Normally associated with his peers in techno from Detroit, Europe and elsewhere, John Tejada has embraced electronic music as a personal frontier, expanding on his resume as a techno recording artist as producer, remixer, DJ, and label owner. Known for crafting a brand of subtle, musical techno, his recorded output ranges across tempo and genre lines, from chilled out affairs with spacious arrangements to pulsating, densely layered, deeply energetic tracks that work magnificently in the hands of DJs as well.)

dynArec
soundcloud.com/dynarec
( ;D --> Through a string of releases over the last ten years dynArec has established himself as an artist that sounds like no other. Whilst his sound is close in form and feel to the mighty Drexciya he has gone beyond simply mimicking that sound and added his own stamp; evolving the sound into something truly individual which, particularly in the modern era of electronic music production. 'Silver Tourist' is in many ways an insight into the many moods dynArec is able to communicate through music; there are short beautiful beatless pieces, hard energetic techno tracks, funky electro works, dark fearsome vibes, expertly crafted electro tracks with vocals that provoke thought about the worthiness of the human race.)

Amperclap

( ;D --> Abstract electronic sound, harmonies and melodies enveloping dark sounds etc. Taking as a reference to Mr. Oizo, Dark Globe, Simply Jeff, Überzone, Mike Oldfield, Jean Michel Jarre and Kitaro. In 1999 he started as a DJ, known as "Crazy Boy Dj" strongly driven by the scene breaks the moment. In 2005 he entered the world of essences combining trance production with breaks. Currently, including its early underground sound and beyond productions, working with great dedication to projects Breaks, House, Techno, Progressive, Electro with surround sounds, melodic, progressive and abstract that can reach wrap. Sudden Shock is born of the darkest and most violent of Amper Clap with this alias takes its beginnings in the hardcore scene that combined with the experience and knowledge of Amper Clap work lead to Drum'n'Bass, Breaks, dubstep and Hardcore (horror) as dark, sinister and murky you could hear.)

Nachtmahr

www.nachtmahr.net
( ;D --> „I only have one interest: i don’t care if you live or die: I just wanna see you dance!“ This is the motto that made Thomas Rainer create his new musical project NACHTMAHR in 2007. After the Austrian artist has achieved worldwide chart breaking success with his other projects L’AME IMMORTELLE and SIECHTUM in the past 11 years, he returns to his roots: the boiling dancefloors of industrial and goth clubs alike Inspired by numerous years of Djing NACHTMAHR> is the missing link between merciless and provocative Industrial and the hammering power of Techno. The first release “Kunst ist Krieg (=art is war)” and it’s club hit “BoomBoomBoom” instantly conquer the dancefloors and earn the band a slot on the soundtrack of the American block-buster movie SAW 4.)

Blac Kolor
soundcloud.com/blac_kolor
( ;D --> Black is not a color. Black is the mixture of all the colors. The range of the spectrum is set. The emphasis of the tone is uncertain. The control about the effects is entirely in the hand of one. The fight about their predominance is a battle in a different cosmos. The inner conflict happens on the ground of an opencast pit. Metal drills into rocks mechanically and bears its own rhythm. What is digged has no color. The energy is black. Colors: Industrial / Techno / IDM / Electro.)

Patten
warp.net/records/patten
soundcloud.com/patttten
www.patttten.com/
( ;D --> Patten’s music doesn’t benefit from prolonged exposure. Certainly, condensed into 23 minutes on the Eolian Instate EP, the producer’s signature style is far more palatable. The tracks on this, his debut release for Warp, are a touch more incisive, although in other respects it seems that little has changed for Patten in the past two years. The sound remains much the same—a pulverised form of electronica tempered with a subtle melodic glow—and passing comparisons can still be made to Actress’ heat-warped techno, or Flying Lotus at his most fervidly psychedelic.)

This spring, they’ll unveil their first LP, an ambitiously swoony set of songs.)

Metronomy
www.metronomy.co.uk
( ;D --> Metronomy’s vision has been hard to pin down over their last three albums: They’ve tried their hand at bluntly trendy blog house, introverted electronica, and satin-lined pop-rock. On 2011's The English Riviera, the group came into their own, massaging out their quirks into a comfortable, glossy, Phoenix-laced swagger. And with "I’m Aquarius," the newest single from their forthcoming album, it feels like singer Joseph Mount has fully discovered where his croon will serve him best, cushioned by clean, finely tuned blips of bass and the coos of his backup singers.)

( ;D --> Dopplereffekt‘s Heinrich Mueller has teamed up with singer/composer Victoria Lukas for a new collaborative audio-visual project, Zerkalo.
This week sees the release of two 12-inch EPs by Zerkalo, both on Clone Records‘ new sub-label Aqualong, dedicated to the legacy of Detroit electro myth-makers Drexciya (of which Mueller, real name Gerald Donald, was almost certainly an active member).
Mueller has never confirmed his role in Drexciya, and since 1995 has been primarily associated with his Dopplereffekt and Arpanet projects. Combining stone-cold Detroit electro/techno sounds and aesthetic preoccupations with, er, eugenics, totalianiarism and particle physics, Dopplereffekt’s wonderfully severe records are pretty much all classics; the Gesamtkunstwerk compilation, first released on International Deejay Gigolos in 1999 and later re-issued by Clone Classic Cuts, is the best introduction to their work. Currently a duo comprised of Mueller and Michaela To-Nhan Bertel, Dopplereffekt remain a shadowy entity but have recently broken cover to play a run of live shows (see picture above) and this month gave their first ever face-to-face interview in The Wire.)
