ohGr

www.myspace.com/bigohgr
( ;D --> ohGr is a band formed by Nivek Ogre, of Skinny Puppy, and musician/engineer Mark Walk. 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.)

( ;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...).)

Central to the project is Ben Watkins, and his collaborations with a constantly changing ensemble of musicians from across the world, including percussionist Mabi Thobejane from South Africa along with countrymen Amampondo, Eduardo Niebla, Steve Stevens, Taz Alexander, Ghetto Priest, Sugizo and recently Yasmin Levy. 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.)

Vladislav Delay

( ;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.)

Ryan Davis

http://soundcloud.com/ryan-davis
( ;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.)

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.)

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!)

( ;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.)
Have You Seen This Ghost?

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.)

Tropic of Cancer
http://tropicofcancer.bandcamp.com
( ;D --> Tropic of Cancer is Camella Lobo & J Mendez, who's probably better known as Sandwell District's Silent Servant. With a Sound of Arcane folk drones and smacked out vocals, driven by Suicide style drum machine minimalism and shuddering within some of the bleakest soundscapes this side of Sun, inspired by a wealth of classic darkside influences to end up with a dank basement sound bearing traces of everything from The Velvets to MBV, with distant drum loops and miserablist guitars trawling the surface. Despite not being remotely techno, the sound perfectly suits the sinisterly irony-free Black country aesthetic.)
The Sorrow of Two Blooms
ToC_amazon
( ;D --> Blackest Ever Black made an indelible mark on 2010 with a couplet of stunning releases from Raime. This year they open their leathery wings to shelter Tropic Of Cancer aka Camella Lobo and Juan Mendez (Silent Servant) for a midnight mission away from their spiritual home, Regis' Downwards sect. No doubt, this is their strongest material to date: three passionately gothic odes to the romance of misery. There are clear, strong references to the gothic digital minimalism of Martin Hannet's work on Joy Division, and maybe more apt allusions to the skinny Post Punk of Savage Republic, and Faith/Pornography/Seventeen Seconds era The Cure, but unlike many contemporary guardians of this sound, TOC's misanthropy is articulated with exquisite production values closer to those of Grouper or Broadcast, making their introversion that much more tangible and heart-breakingly glorious.)

www.myspace.com/clanofxymox  
( ;D --> Since their formation in their native Holland their music has been constantly changing, always challenging and often quite breathtaking. Some of us have always been of the opinion that XYMOX are something special. A band fired by electronic music but determined, always, to make something that is very much their own. They are unique.)

Lost in Desire

http://lostindesire.com
( ;D --> After nine years of performing in various music projects, producing artists, and remixing, Stephan S. finally created his own personal solo project: Lost in Desire; disregarding any commercial formats, simply expressing emotion, as heavy and dramatic as they feel to him. I want my lyrics to insipre, want you to feel, I want you to dream... I don't want to explain. I want every listener to have their own interpretations, their own images and feelings attached to each song. The first demo recordings of LiD date back to 2006, composed mainly on the acoustic guitar, later augmented with all instruments Stephan likes and plays. A unique, dramatic sound backing Stephan's passionate vocals was created.)

Mirrors
www.myspace.com/mirrorsmirrorsmirrors
( ;D --> The flagrant musical plundering and appropriation of the Eighties, in particular one aspect of it - synthpop - has become as shameless as the era itself. But just when you thought there couldn't possibly be any more life left to in that perennial, seemingly inexhaustible revival, up rise Brighton’s Mirrors armed this time with cold, glacial electro and a penchant for Kraftwerk-esque suits.)

The creative progress of the band’s albums has always consolidated their distinctive sound while taking on board contemporary influences.

John Maus
www.myspace.com/johnmaus  
www.mausspace.com
( ;D --> John Maus lives in his birthplace of Austin, Minnesota. Whilst working towards his PhD in Political Science he also composes music that taps into melancholic fantasy and affirms that we are all truly alive. Questing synthesisers, tensely strung bass lines and chasing drum machines provide the perfect backdrop for John's deeply resonant reverb-drenched vocal. Born in the decade of synth pop and sharing his birthday with George Frideric Handel, John started making music when Nirvana posters went up on every teenager's wall. It's this curious conflux of influences that partially helps to describe John's music. It's a world where the Germs jam with Jerry Goldsmith, Cabaret Voltaire relocate to Eternia and Josquin des Prez writes a new score for RoboCop. The confrontation of punk, the fleeting poignancy of 80s movie soundtracks, the insistent pulse of Moroder and the spirituality of Medieval and Baroque music all find salvation in John Maus. After a spell working alongside Ariel Pink and Gary War in Haunted Graffiti, 2006 saw the release of John's debut album proper through Upset The Rhythm.)

www.myspace.com/compactspace
( ;D --> Compact Space was founded by Christian Eigner, Daryl Bamonte and Florian Kraemmer.For many years Eigner has played drums for Depeche Mode and has co-written a number of songs with Dave Gahan - for Depeche Mode as well as for Gahan’s last solo album, which he also co-produced. As a musician Eigner has contributed to hundreds of albums for various artists. Bamonte began working for Depeche Mode from the start of their career in 1980, taking on a varierty of roles before moving on in 1995 to work for The Cure for several years. The trio is completed by singer Florian Kraemmer. Kraemmer, like Eigner a native of Vienna, is the son of an actress and an opera singer, and took classical piano training from the age of eight. To date, he has worked mainly as a TV composer and has preserved his passion for classical music. The trio shares creative equality when they work on their songs. Daryl writes the lyrics, Florian develops the melodies and Christian puts together the powerful music that marks Compact Space with their own unmistakable style as soon as you listen to them. Compact Space has recently signed a worldwide licensing deal with Ferryhouse Productions in Hamburg. The first album "Nameless" and "Push Push" EP will be released simultaneously on 24th June 2011. The album was mixed by Paul 'P-Dub' Walton, and the aesthetics of Compact Space are also visually consistent: Danny Drysdale, who filmed among other things the Killers' hit "Human", made the video for "Push Push".)
