Their name comes from a small publication by art historian Hippolyte Fierens Gevaert, though finding out much more is difficult. If not impossible. However, comprised of Narumi and Mau from Telepopmusik and Leo from Aswefall, their musical output has caught the attention of the Parisian underground.)

When plucked by Kode 9’s forward thinking imprint Hyperdub for his release ‘Natty’, Scratcha was introuduced to a new audience as a funky producer but his production CV extends back further to grime where he has worked with luminaries including Wiley. Most recently, Scratch has launched a new moniker “Soule Power”, his most sunshine infused alter ego - ‘Just Vybe’ feat. Fatima is of the Bugz In The Attic ilk - but what unites all three of his AKA’s is the attitude and energy which keeps ravers jacking throughout the night.)

Principles Of Geometry

www.principles-of-geometry.com
http://soundcloud.com/principles-of-geometry
( ;D --> French duo Guillaume Grosso and Jeremy Duval are dedicated students: their music is littered with nods to various styles spanning the last four decades of electronic music. They've also clearly got a passion for copious range of genres, and (to their praise) experiment freely between Italo, hip-hop, pop, ambient, post-Justice grind and angsty guitar songs.)
Edits EP
POG_amazon
( ;D --> In anticipation of their forthcoming full-length Burn The Land & Boil The Oceans, Principles Of Geometry invite Joakim, Krikor and Pilooski to remix three of the album's tracks. The French group has long plied an unusual fusion of Balearic disco and jittery, glitch-inspired tropes, and the press release promises that the album will "redefine what we thought IDM was." Here, though, EBM seems to be the more relevant acronym. Joakim's tape edit of "LA" opens with a regal, drawn-out synthesizer fanfare before settling into a chunky electro-disco groove; funky robot basslines and growling vocoders faintly recall a punkier Daft Punk, or even, given the live drumming, the Bay Area's original synth punk band, The Units. Pilooski's "ISM" edit uses similar sounds—spongy, pliant synthesizers and loud, loose rock drumming; the latter, panned hard to the left and draped in natural reverb, leaves you with the feeling of crouching in a corner of a practice space where one side of the room has been hung with moving blankets. It's a hypnotic, introverted grind of a track, worrying away at a minor-key arpeggio over a groove that can't decide whether it's D.C. go-go or motorik Krautrock. My favorite is Krikor's "Carbon Cowboy": the plodding 4/4 groove and minor-key bass arpeggio are as sinister as they are sensual, especially when paired with a hissing growl reminiscent of Skinny Puppy; a bridge straight out of Depeche Mode's Violator is the blood-colored icing on the cake.)

Chain Letters
NRPM_amazon
( ;D --> If angels would ever play industrial they would surely play something like NEIKKA RPM. NEIKKA RPM is a New York based project, formed back in 2001 by two strangers Dominique and Richard. The whole story started on the St. Valentine's day. Maybe this is the reason, why their music is full of obsession. ‘Chain Letters’ is the third studio album by the project, and the first record since 2006. Just something really beautiful and joyful is worth to be waited so long. And so it is. Imagine a deep blue mountain lake among the rocks. If usually electronic music sounds like you're under the water and beats do exactly what “to beat” means, so they beat your ears, it is totally different with NEIKKA RPM. The sounds are on the even blue surface of the water and they are reflecting from water and rocks.)

Inspired by them as well as Giorgio Moroder, Arbez switched to analog synths and began writing and recording as Dima.)

She debuted in 1978 with the surprise hit “Wuthering Heights”, which was number one in the British music charts for four weeks. Even from her earliest works, featuring piano as a primary instrument, Bush wove together many diverse influences, melding classical music, rock, and a wide range of ethnic and folk sources, producing a unique amalgam which has continued throughout her career. Later recordings have moved farther from a rock base, however, notably with the release of The Dreaming in 1982, where she experimented heavily with the then-new technology of sampling.)

From the first moments of its quiet opening piano chords and choir-boy vocal performed by her son, Bertie, she takes us on a journey deep into the heart of Winter in a series of seven songs, each of which revels in the contemplative and introspective, rather as if we're sitting with her by a fire while she sits at her piano musing on the nature of love, life, language, and the album's central theme, snow.)

Having been a saxophonist from the age of 10, and a vocalist from the age of 5, it was no surprise production immediately became his new addiction. Beginning with a more experimental approach as he found his feet in the game, his production styles varied greatly, taking inspiration from legends such as Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Jack Beats, and The Prodigy, to name just a few, but it was not until late 2009 when he began touching upon what we know as 'Dubstep'.
Originally producing under the alias 'Dee Jay Mee', his library of work was at this point a gigantic cocktail of genres, but the bass-heavy rhythms and percussive thumping evolving from the dubstep genre quickly became his favourite style.)

The late outsider rockabilly artist Hasil Adkins is also cited, as well as country music star Johnny Cash. Vainio often remarks that their music is a merger of these two schools of music, taking the harsh and pure sounds typical of industrial techno and spacing them out into longer, subdued soundscapes familiar to instrumental reggae and dub.Some of their equipment is made by third "extra" member Jari Lehtinen. These and other custom made instruments are responsible for creating the sounds typical to Pan Sonic's music. They also use samplers and an MPC2000 sequencer. Pan Sonic are great fans of experimentation and art performances and have done exhibitions and sound installations in museums.)

Popp’s now legendary early album releases sent shockwaves though the electronic music landscape and laid the foundations for an entire new class of digital sound & production aesthetics. With an undeniable instinct for the pleasantly irritating, the drastic and the dreamy, Popp pioneered “glitch” and “clicks & cuts” – and continues to inspire and provoke a new generation of musicians to this day. Oval's new music is functionally much closer to his older music than to anything else, if a bit more skeletal-- nicely harmonized blips and smears of abstracted noise (with some relationship to plucked-string timbres a lot of the time), rhythms that sometimes splatter freely and sometimes snap to a regular pulse. It's lovely, it's pleasantly unsettling, and there's a hell of a lot of it.)

The music stands in the tradition of the past, but is characterized by a super-intense signature sound which is full of melancholy. The mysterious lyrics and the brilliant voice that seems to be absent and emotional at the same time add to the sinister mood of the tracks.
If you are only a little bit into Minimal Wave or Synthpop, you can't ignore Martial Canterel. And if you don't, this could be your entrance ticket into this musical territory!)

On Friday, September 28th 2007, a new Burial album was announced, and Untrue was released 6 weeks later on November 5th. Although both albums have been met with much critical acclaim, Burial remained anonymous until August 2008, stating in a past interview that “only five people know I make tunes”. In February 2008, The Independent reported that Burial was an alumnus of south London’s Elliott School named William Bevan (another alumnus, Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard, said in 2006 that Burial was in the year above him). The school’s alumni also include Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet, with whom Bevan has collaborated.)

( ;D --> After the release of two CD albums ("Elixir Lytique" & "Face (of) Death"), Belgium's Aiboforcen disappeared from the scene to work on various projects. This break allowed them to strike back with a more mature and better mastered type of sound on the "Sons Palliatifs" album which closed their trilogy around the "near death experience" theme, but especially confirm their open-minded song-writing attitude as well as the complexity of their music arrangements. Released in June 2004, their 4th album “Kafarnaüm” offers a complex and modern mixture of eclectic electronic styles ranging from harsh EBM to crunching power industrial through dark trip hop with a certain future pop touch and their trademark combination of harsh male growls and sensual female vocals. Extremely rich in diversity (including an astounding plethora of guest vocalists), this surrealistic album impressively holds a cohesive red line centered on Benoît Blanchart's uniquely intricate song-writing skills, attitude and vicious sampling manipulations, channeled by the recurring lyrical theme of mental and physical chaos.)

The sound of the 12 "Anhedonia" tracks is completely based on the late 80's Korg M1, with only a couple of additional samples. Interesting move you may say.)

( ;D --> Drawing from the pioneering work of artists like Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, and Suicide, the dark avant-industrial group Skinny Puppy formed in 1982 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Originally a duo comprised of former Images in Vogue drummer cEvin Key (born Kevin Crompton) and Nivek Ogre (aka Kevin Ogilvie), Skinny Puppy followed their debut cassette, Back and Forth, with the EP Remission, the first of many recordings with producer David "Rave" Ogilvie, in 1984. With a squsic uique sound of twisted, metaphorical lyrics combined with technoid madness, shock and terror aestethics with an dystopic, eerie feeling of hopelessness. Skinny Puppy are widely considered the founders of electro-industrial music; forming and cultivating the industrial sound that inspired bands such as Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM and Marilyn Manson.)

DyE has said of 'Taki 183' that it is a personal and progressive urban design' already popular with artists as diverse as James Murphy, DJ Mehdi, Erol Alkan and James Holden. Sometimes dreamy electro-pop or excessive shoe gaze, and then often introverted dubstep and hallucinogenic nu-disco.)

Telepathic guides warning of cosmic threats. Complex machinery replicating human life-form. Toxic rains over entire continents. Unexplained shifts of paradigms and quantum leaps. Random time travel. Artichoke sauce and speculoos. Professional robot-hunters. Trillions of flies. Invisibility discovered. Flourishing DAL music scene. The chemical value of the human body. With this new 'Y2112Y' full length album, 32CRASH opens the door to a parallel 'music' universe where upbeat futuristic electronic tunes led by the unmatchable vocal talent of Jean-Luc De Meyer crash into electric wave vibes with a fresh minimal retro punk touch. A beautiful piece of art on which 3 human beings managed to bridge futuristic technologies with sonic experimentation, an extravagant concept and a strong vocal performance. An album that breathes freshness and freedom and reminds us that art takes another dimension when made with the heart and a solid sense of sarcasm and humor… Simply uplifting!)

( ;D --> Danish act Sleep Party People is an utterly beguiling prospect. A solo venture by Brian Batz, both he and those surrounding the project work in mysterious and elusive ways. Batz constantly sports an eerily cute bunny mask, such is his desire for anonymity. But it’s not the mechanics of Sleep Party People that make it so interesting. It’s the songs. It’s near-impossible to describe them individually, because they fit so well together. These songs, ‘I’m Not Human At All’ in particular, are murkily beautiful and haunting, combining the witch-house sensibilities of Salem with the soft delicacy of oOoOO whilst adding something entirely original to them. In short: Sleep Party People is the best new artist of 2011.)

Blueneck

www.blueneck.com
( ;D --> Formed in 2000, Blueneck are a reclusive four-piece based in North Somerset. Beginning their career on the West Country's thriving live circuit, the band steadily dropped conventional gigging in favour of a mostly studio environment, where their music has been allowed to evolve in a direction unrestricted by what can be readily produced on stage. Steering away from structured songwriting, Blueneck's music has developed into a cinematic soundscape of ambient atmospherics, dark skeletal rhythms and swirling crescendos, all created with analogue synths, sparse piano and huge, soaring guitars. Having already produced a series of demos, each one evolving further into atmospheric territory than the last, the band teamed up with producer and musical visionary Corin Dingley for their first full-length album "Scars Of The Midwest". Blueneck operate in a similar post-rock territory to bands such as Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Sigur Ros and Mogwai, but having spent a year and a half locked away recording in the hills of deepest Somerset, they have delivered a dark, dynamic masterpiece which has a sound truly their own.)

They offer you danceable, catchy tracks like “Clear” and “High pitched emotions”, but also offer you time for dreaming with “Suffocate” or “Afraid of myself”. Minerve captured Eastern Europe incredibly fast: Their special edition of their debut´s got sell rankings, exceeding world stars. During an interview they´ve even had to enlarge the radio´s hotline capacities, after Daniel´s liveperformace on air. This fact shows, that music made by synthesizers neither necessary has to be chilly electronic nor old-fashioned and artificial.)

( ;D --> iamamiwhoami is an electronic music and multimedia project headlined by Swedish singer-songwriter Jonna Lee. Videos released from the project's YouTube channel have spread virally. The first clip was uploaded on December 4, 2009, and was forwarded to a number of music journalists and blogs. Another two short videos followed. Chris Cantalini and MTV writer James Montgomery reported about iamamiwhoami, fueling speculation online. The project currently consists of three series of music videos and a feature length concert video. The number series, highly stylized teaser videos, set the tone of the project, established several mysteries, and served to foreshadow the projects' complete songs. The letter series is the equivalent of a studio album containing fully realized singles. (Released on iTunes and Amazon.com, each single also bears the phrase "To Whom It May Concern." Several official remixes of the letter songs have also been released.) The letter series serves as the core of the project, and were reiterated as setpieces in the concert. The final set of videos, the date series (their titles correspond to the date on which they were released), set up the webcast concert on November 16, 2010 and had fans elect one of their own to attend the concert. On November 16 at 12:15 CET "In Concert" was webcast; it was removed approximately 4 hours later.)

( ;D --> "The Monstrous Soul" was conceived in Sheffield in 1990 by B. Lustmord and Clock DVA founder Adi Newton. First released by London label World Serpent, it followed the seminal and highly influential dark ambient album "Heresy" (Soleilmoon SOL 9 CD). Although the release dates were barely a year apart, "The Monstrous Soul" marked a turning point for Lustmord, one that mapped the future more than it mirrored the past. Much more digital magic and electronic processing was employed this time, where much of the material on "Heresy" utilized acoustic sound sources and traditional analog recording technologies. "The Monstrous Soul" dedicated itself to creating a environment of gloom in which the listener was totally enveloped by an hour long soundscape best described as a journey through a frozen hell. At the time "The Monstrous Soul" was recorded, the legendary B. Lustmord resided in a squat in London, near the Oval cricket ground, just around the corner from David Tibet, founder of Current 93. It takes little imagination to connect the bleak visual landscape of south London's worst slum to Lustmord's grim electronics. This wasn't simply a fantasy video game soundtrack, it truly reflected the environment from which is came.)

( ;D --> Santa Hates You is a German based band formed in autumn 2007. Members and founders of the band are the musical icon Peter "PS" Spilles and the enigmatic italian vocalist Jinxy. Legend has it that they first met at the Ohlsdorfer Cemetery in Hamburg, where it is said that they accidentally 'scared the hell out of each other'. Apparently it was then that PS noticed Jinxy's unusual voice, and, well, it seems safe to say that he was quite intrigued by what he heard. After discovering their common passion for dark music, macabre arts and rebellious humor, the two became friends and soon decided to start a band together. Santa Hates You's music is straight forward dark-electro, with industrial traits and extremely danceable beats on one side, and catchy sequences as well as gothic and electro-punk elements on the other. While the band describes their sound as "juicy electronic-gothic-industrial", many others have tried, in the course of the last years, to characterize the Santa Hates You - style.'A musical maelstrom';'The perfect soundtrack to the Mad Hatter's tea party'; 'Bizarre and grotesque like some kind of sexy freak show')

Douglas Greed
www.myspace.com/douglasgreed
www.douglas-greed.com/KRL
( ;D --> Over the years, we’ve come to know Douglas as a producer with a rather diverse view on all things electronic. His music is not easily to be categorized, as most of his releases can be seen as exciting fusions of (deep) house, minimal, downbeat, and techno. The same applies to his new album KRL, a collection of 12 mostly downtempo tracks of which every single one of them is a shapeshifting genre-crosser.)
“KRL”
DG_amazon
( ;D --> Douglas Greed’s KRL has become a rather unorthodox album marked by soothing but dark tracks that seem to transform continuously over the course of their playtime. Melodies and fx play major roles in its content, but it’s the overall vibe of each track that had me nailed to the couch during listening. If you’re looking for something special outside the ‘dance-or-I’ll-shoot’ spectrum, then this one’s for you.)

Albums so far have focused on a balance between pop structures and digitally edited analogue electronic sound, along with some more experimental leanings including psychedelic elements. All four members write songs differently, which adds to the eclectic nature of their albums.)

Neon Indian

http://neonindian.com
( ;D --> An elusive project from composer Alan Palomo (VEGA). Neon Indian delivers equal parts synthetic nostalgia, dream-pop lullabies, and grinding guitar noise. Neon Indian is Alan Palomo, the Mexican-born, Texas-raised, brilliantly lucid 21-year-old synth-wizard who learned his production chops as part of Ghosthunter and honed them in VEGA. In October 2009 Neon Indian released his critically acclaimed and heralded debut album, Psychic Chasms, nearly anonymously and drew wild speculation for months. As Neon Indian, Palomo has made an art of leaving out the details and letting the world draw its own conclusions.)
Era Extrana
NI_amazon
( ;D --> dreampop pioneer and flaming lips collaborator neon indian releases his new album 'era extrana' with a startling bonus: a mini analog synthesizer designed by bleep labs and the man himself! the synth is a hand-held gadget which features two triangle wave oscillators which can be activated independently or together, modulating each other and swappable controls which allow you to easily attach the included potentiometers or photocells - or a number of other devices - in any configuration to the three oscillators to create all kinds of chaos. 'era extrana' sees the chillwave wizard boldly step out from the synth surf just enough to make himself heard. previous work focused on the hooksome grooves of drum vs. synth, all but buring the vocals but here alan palomo clears his throat and sings out. there's more of an electro-pop angle here which is rooted in vintage 80s synth work and while the production is still lush and blurred by echo and reverb it's a true pleasure to hear the drums hit a little harder and the melodies a little clearer. the result is a crucial pop album that makes you dance and stare wistfully as the sunset falls on a lost summer.)

Heavily inspired by genre-breaking projects such as Gridlock,Haujobb, Converter, and Download, Candle Nine’s music is altogether harsh, destructive, atmospheric, and splintered, while all at once being very moving and cerebral. With his mixture of ambient soundscapes, glitched synths and percussion, and shattered IDM-laced breakbeats, Candle Nine pays homage to his influences and ultimately creates a sound all his own.)

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.

( ;D --> ACS is rapidly becoming one of the most important names in electronic music. I'm not a massive fan of his older, more conventional drum 'n bass material, but in the last couple of years Clements has found an outlet for a much more ambient and experimental direction. Obviously the hype centres around his role in the Autonomic sound, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Melding ambient and IDM with drum 'n bass, dubstep, techno and a huge obsession with science fiction culture and philosophy, ASC is making some of the most cutting edge music around that still evokes the spaced-out futurism that has defined so much of electronic music for the past 40 years.)

What do you call musicians like Com Truise? He seems easy enough to pin down—throw out some words like “nostalgia,” “synth-wave,” “eighties,” and “electro-funk” and you’ll scrape by—but to be truly insightful about his music is tough, because art that is so blatantly referencing certain things in a certain way while also making them weird and new and unique is confusing. How do you classify something that is so obviously both vintage and current but is too fun to call postmodern?)

While the album Cosmogramma was high in concept and wide in musical collaboration, Pattern + Grid World pulls the focus back to Steven Ellison and his machines. These machines are speaking from the go, as "Clay" introduces itself in a fog of synth and vocoder and gives way to one of the many surprises here, the schizophrenic ping-ponging electro of "Kill Your Co-Workers". Drenched in alternating melodies, it's a synthetic counterpart to the grand string and harp arrangements of Cosmogramma, making acclaimed illustrator Theo Ellsworth's subtly psychedelic cover image of vision-through-noise all the more intimate.)

( ;D --> Ctrl debuted in 1998 with Secure The Shadow. Over the next eight years, the band released three more acclaimed albums, and appeared on various compilations. 2009 saw the release of their fifth offering, Lost In Static. It allows the unique blend of pop-tinged electro, driving beats and signature guitar to remain the staples of their sound. The band continues to grow with each new incarnation, while carefully tipping a hat to the founders of style. The band is often augmented by long-standing compatriots. Since inception, CTRL has performed more than 70 shows, with such notable acts as: Covenant, VNV Nation, Funker Vogt, Assemblage 23, Icon Of Coil, Combichrist, Chemlab, Information Society, London After Midnight, Cruxshadows, Voltaire, Imperative Reaction, Stomkern, and Iris, as well as many others.)

The Duo has drastically transformed Mur’s most intense 80s songs into a unique blend of unleashed electronic drum loops & basses, dirty organ and wreckless feedback guitars. A couple of new elektro-anthems written and peformed together spices it all up with futuristic furor.)

www.schwarzblut.com
( ;D --> Schwarzblut, hailing from the east of The Netherlands, was founded in 2007 and blends romantic melancholic Weimar poetry with danceable dark electronic music. An eclectic style diversity that accentuates a duality between male and female vocalists. Schwarzblut signed with Alfa Matrix in 2009, shortly afterwards followed by the release of the band's "Sehlenwolf" EP. Schwarzblut covers such a wide musical range that they have been compared to bands as diverse as Qntal, VNV Nation or yet Skinny Puppy. Schwarzblut surprises the listener by mixing pounding electro rhythms, harmonic choirs, distorted vocals, cutting leads, grandiloquent orchestras, dark romanticism and German lyrical poetry from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich von Schiller and Karoline von Günderrode.)

They are signed to French label Kitsuné Music and have released four singles to date: “Idealistic”, “Zdarlight”, “Jupiter Room”, and “Pogo”.

( ;D --> Even though reality shows have been trying to prove otherwise, a successful career as a musician, even as a pop star, cannot be forced with a pre-packaged crash course. As of 2010, Paul Kalkbrenner has tallied up more than 15 years of experience as a producer and live act, all the while learning what it means to go purposefully from one step to the next. When the Berlin Wall fell, he was 12. The s...oundtrack of his youth, and of the majority of his generation, was still in its infancy, awaiting its breakthrough: techno music.)

Barking

( ;D --> Ever since Darren Emerson left the Underworld duo, their music lost an edge. The last album with Darren was Beaucoup Fish which was a classic. The last 2 albums got progressively boring and without creativity. I have to say after 2 listens though that Barking is definitely a step in the right direction. I would recommened it to fans of Underworld that gave up a few years ago.)

Washed Out
www.myspace.com/thebabeinthewoods
( ;D --> Washed Out is Ernest Greene, a young guy from Perry, Georgia, USA who makes bedroom synthpop that sounds blurred and woozily evocative, like someone smeared Vaseline all over an early OMD demo tape, then stayed up all night trying to recreate what they heard. There’s a sense of longing and distance in Greene’s somber, filtered vocals, but it’s what he does compositionally that makes Washed Out stand out. Backed by gently pulsing, Balearic-tinged disco, Greene’s voice takes on a new dimension. Reminiscent of groups like The Glass and the Chromatics, Washed Out is the music to end your night with, when the city is quiet and you’ve got a long walk home ahead of you.)

Although the pedigree of the group's members might suggest otherwise, early ohGr releases differed in sound to its related industrial bands, drawing more on hip-hop and electro-pop influences, incorporating more conventional structures and a lighter tone. However, from Devils In My Details onwards, ohGr has taken to a more abrasive, non-linear flavour of electronica.)

The origins of the band's name come from a character in the film, The Karate Kid as well as the brand of a record player. The lines "We're not a couple of shadowboxers/Oh/Oh/Just two Anglo-Saxons" from the 2008 track Butterfingers and "We were just pretending to be Japanese" from Photocopier may be comments on the band name and how it is perceived.)

BS_amazon
( ;D --> This is their second full-length release. In charge of their own Production Company and studio for the last 15 years, they have profoundly applied their wide range of talents to the realm of electronic music. Meanwhile, booka shade's own redefinition of dance music found its expression on their debut album, memento which drew on their back ground as pop producers and their ability to sculpt nocturnal yet melancholic music for the dance floor and beyond. When it was released at the tail end of 2004 memento hit with velvet coated sucker punches its prowling understated menace combined with Walter and Arno's knack of penning melodies and creating evocative mood mapping out a fresh alternative for electronic music.)

Kirlian Camera

http://facebook.com/kirlian.camera
www.kirliancamera.com
( ;D --> Kirlian Camera are one of the pioneers of the Italian electronic scene.
Active since 1979 under the name SUICIDE COMMANDO, the band changes name in 1980 releasing the first demo-tape DAWN... and the self-titled mini-album in late 1981.
The early records contain a mix of synth pop and new wave/dance songs, while towards the end of the 1980s' Kirlian Camera's music has progressively become darker and darker, turning into a monumental electro-gothic sound. Nearly every release since then has explored different fields, from industrial to ambient, from experimental to trip-hop.
Mind of Kirlian Camera has always been Angelo Bergamini, coupled by many female vocalists as Simona Buja (1980-1987), Suzanne Reddington Gardner (1987), Bianca Hoffmann Santos (1988-1989), Emilia Lo Jacono (1990-1999) and Elena Alice Fossi (1999...).)

They are also famous for collaborating with composer Don Davis for the musical score of the film 'The Matrix' as well as other films. Originally Juno Reactor was formed as an art project in 1990; Ben Watkins wanted to collaborate with other artists to produce and be involved in exciting projects that were not commercially driven. He wanted to create experimental music/non musical soundtracks that would work with installations, art pieces and film projects.)

( ;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.)

Andy Stott

( ;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.)

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.)

As an artist Jerome Reuter remains completely unpredictable, which may come as a shock to those who discovered ROME as a Chanson Noir outfit: What you are looking for is gone for good! "Our Holy Rue" is a harsh, industrial beauty: relentless and uncompromising. And the rather folkish song "The Merchant Fleet" is an instant classic, dedicated to Jerome's brotherhood of the sea!)

Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows

( ;D --> Officially founded in 1989, the Germany based SOPOR AETERNUS & THE ENSEMBLE OF SHADOWS is one of the last of the very few dark groups/projects in Europe (in fact, on this planet), who have based the trinity of their music, poetry and visual appearance on the explicit emphasis of the highly individual expression of pain, isolation, depression, token suicides and the desperate search for the ?sacred reunion?; all conceived and acted out by SOPOR's sole protagonist ? ? the transgendered and utterly beautiful Goddess (and likewise tragically Butoh-esque creature) ANNA-VARNEY CANTODEA.)

( ;D --> There are no words to adequately describe the enchanted music(k) of Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows' release. Those of you, who are familiar with Anna-Varney Cantodea's art, know that s/he (literally) plays in her own league. Generally speaking, her work is always like the forgotten soundtrack to a phantastic, gothic horror film that was never meant for a human audience to see ... - and this album is certainly no exception.)
