Current Value
soundcloud.com/tim-e-aka-current-value
( ;D --> Tim E. aka Current Value has been going strong and pushing limits within the drum n bass community for a decade now. The early Position Chrome material was phenominal with arguably some of the most insanely technical programming of its time...perhaps too technical to gain a footing with more dancefloor-minded DJs, which led to his slower trickle of releases on various smaller labels after Chrome moved towards pushing simple dancefloor tunes. His work has moved away from the haunted spacestation soundtracks to a more visceral style of dancefloor smashers, but has lost none of the extreme technical work that is his signature.)

Their third album brings again a mix of electric eclecticism, varying between styles always with a hint of darkness. This time they have invited some more guests such as Jean-Luc De Meyer of Front 242 fame to sing on the track Ophélie, and Jennifer Parkin of Ayria who guests on the track Into The Game.)

( ;D --> Antoni Maiovvi's music is akin to the overwhelming horror of the stalked. The sound of dimly lit streets where everyone is at risk. A place of supernatural existential terror where the lines of reality become that of opium blurs. Operating from spaces previously occupied by Goblin, Tangerine Dream, Patrick Cowley and John Carpenter, under the pseudonym Antoni Maiovvi, Anton Maiof (Geisha / Defibrillators) has been creating psychotronic disco for the criminally insane since 2005 having emerged from the UK's underground noise scene, here presenting retro-futurist b-movie soundtracks with the
precision and flair of an Argento death sequence.)

But that’s not to say that M&VS doesn’t have something unique to share. The pieces are grandiose, conceptual, almost as if each contributes to some other epic, unknown story. There won't be much trouble locating scenes for these tracks to underscore. We believe their use in film is absolutely eminent.)

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 --> Experimental synth quartet S U R V I V E ' s sophomore full-length and Relapse debut is a dark, sweeping exercise in analog synth mastery. The pulsating, 9-song instrumental release showcases immense diversity between tracks - 'RR7349's compositions range from grim tom-tom thunder to space-age epics, pairing tense plodding grooves with meditative ambience and driving, rhythmic beats. Inspired by IDM and horror scores alike, 'RR7349' is simultaneously ominous and hopeful; tense and relaxed; percussive and melodic. Additionally, two of the group’s members recently scored the soundtrack for the hit new sci-fi / horror show Stranger Things on Netflix.)

John Maus
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.)

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...).)

Phase Fatale
soundcloud.com/phasefatale
( ;D --> The name Phase Fatale is gaining more and more attention lately, both in the techno and EBM/industrial scene.  Few artists can bridge these 2 worlds almost seamlessly, while still maintaining an authentic identity and sound that stays with you (or rather haunts you) long after you’ve listened to the releases. Hayden, otherwise known as Phase Fatale, has a sensibility which draws its influences from post-punk, EBM, films and a certain sense of dread and desolation coming from the world around us. When translated into music, the result is a piece of the artist's restless soul.)

Hans Zimmer, Benjamin Wallfisch

( ;D --> If you have been to the cinema or watched a DVD in the last 20 years, it's likely you have heard a Hans Zimmer track. Born in Germany in 1957, the keyboard player and writer began his career in the early 1980's electronic bands Ultravox and The Buggles, and with an Italian new wave band Krisma. His real fame came from his film scores; his first big success was in 1988 with the music for the film Rain Man, which was nominated for an Academy Award. Since then the multi award-winning producer has an extensive list of credits that include The Lion King, Gladiator and The Da Vinci Code. As a tribute to his versatility, his most recent success is the "Spider Pig" tune from The Simpsons Movie.)

Null + Void
www.facebook.com/nullandvoidmusik/
( ;D --> Null + Void, the alias of prolific New York producer Kurt Uenala. It’s an album of contrasts and tension, where darkness is pierced by blinding light, and where moody new wave bleeds into stark electronics. In one moment, joyful memories give way to isolation and regret, and in the next, Cryosleep explores the catharsis of crowded dancefloors. Throughout the record, Uenala matches his dynamic production with incredible vocalists—from Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan and the inimitable Shannon Funchess, to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Big Pink. Null + Void’s take on dark pop meshes with his love for Detroit electro, poignant synth melodies, and cold atmospheres.)
