( ;D --> Overstating the impact of Wolfgang Voigt and Jörg Burger on electronic music would be nearly impossible as their music together and apart is still used as touchstones today. Voigt is most famous for founding Kompakt Records, an institution of German techno, but his ambient works as Gas, his bone dry Studio 1 project and acid tracks as Mike Ink are just as important. Burger hewed more to the melodic side of things, but his music as The Bionaut, The Modernist and Triola are no less enjoyable. And together they recorded one of the few purely electronic entries in Matador's catalog.)

Formed in Chelmsford, Essex, in 1982 by vocalist Douglas McCarthy, drummer Bon Harris, and keyboard player David Gooday, the group began experimenting with synthesizers and drum pads, fusing their affinity for dark goth and punk rock with the emerging technology.)

Raised up around the arctic circle, below freezing point and under the influence of a coctail of synthpop and early electro, house and techno handily available from the Swedish radio, Jori quickly developed a taste, and more importantly, a passion for electronic music. With no musical education or any backround in playing any instruments Jori started to experiment with electronics in 1988 and soon became addicted to making music. Hulkkonen's most popular recording is the single Sunglasses at Night, a version of Corey Hart's 1980s hit, created together with Canadian producer Tiga. His most recent solo full-length Dualizm, released in 2005, featured collaborations with John Foxx, Nick Triani, Tiga, Jerry Valuri, and José González. Following up on the success of the Lo-Fiction single on Dualizm on which they collaborated, Jori began a synth-pop side project with Jerry Valuri called Processory, which released its self-titled debut in February 2007. Jori Hulkkonen has also released records under such aliases as Zyntherius, Eternal Boyman, Bobby Forrester and Jii Hoo. He has worked on remixes to Telepopmusik's second single Love Can Damage Your Health.)

M.W.N.N will always remain a legend for those old enough to remember him since the early days of goa.)

Vince Watson

www.vincewatson.com
( ;D --> The way Vince Watson manipulates the keyboards, bringing complex multi-chords, dense & fully melodic patches to the contemporary dance music is simply amazing. It makes you feel like a small grain in a deep, huge atmosphere, condensed among the melodies, emotion and rhythms, which by the way seem to fit perfectly in the ears of the intense listeners.)

Deafcenter
www.myspace.com/deafcenter
( ;D --> Inspired by old silent 8mm film reels, the historical architecture around them and the call of the alluring Norwegian landscape, the duo set out armed with microphones to record whatever they could to capture these feelings. Sounds from battered old records, cash registers, broken machines and a half-dead piano were all blended into the mix to add a warm, homely depth to the recordings. These sounds are most evident in the track Loft, where knocks and wooden creaks give an almost claustrophobic feel to the music. Again on The Clearing a subtle field recording gives the track a rich and involving background and helps build up the mysterious aura before launching a skewed 1930s circus-waltz.)
Dakota Suite - Deaf Center Remix
DS_DC_Boomcat
( ;D --> Not so much a remix album as a remake of Dakota Suite's The End Of Trying long-player, reconstructed according to the original record's tracklisting with the help of a list of artists who might be said to represent a kind of Boomkat in-house favourites list: Peter Broderick, Machinefabriek, Arve Henriksen, Deaf Center & The Boats.)
Pale Ravine
DC_amazon
( ;D --> After the critical acclaim of their Neon City EP, Pale Ravine is the long awaited full-length realization of Erik Skodvin and Otto Totlands musical ideals. Taking up where Neon City left off with its epic sound collages and textural soundscapes, Pale Ravine manages to provide a sound altogether more Lynchian and grimly cinematic. Using influences from further back in their lives, the two Norwegian musicians have looked deep into their own family histories to piece together a dusty and nostalgic epic.)

Dakota Suite
www.myspace.com/dakotasuite
www.dakotasuite.com
( ;D --> The loosely configured lineup of Leeds-based Dakota Suite is centered around the group's talented frontman, singer/guitarist Chris Hooson; the only other firm member of the group is producer Richard Formby -- formerly a collaborator with Spaceman 3, the Telescopes, and Jazz Butcher -- who handles occasional guitar chores and various other instrumentation, including harmonium, Fender Rhodes, lap steel, bowed double bass, and tape effects. Various other members have included David Buxton on bass guitar and pedal steel; John Sheppard on drums; Peter Haslam on piano; and Colin Dunkley, who also plays the piano, provides the strings, and co-writes much of the group's instrumentals. Hooson -- whose vocal style is often compared to Red House Painters' Mark Kozelek, Spain's Josh Haden, and Mark Eitzel -- often bases his songs on haunting personal experiences; he attempted suicide in late 1995.)

Quantec

www.svenschienhammer.de
( ;D --> Sven Schienhammer's Quantec project comes with the very highest pedigree and a stamp of quality that followers of Sven Weisemann, Deepchord, Murmur and the like will find impossible to ignore. "Realm Of Possibilities" opens the twelve with a 10 minute reverb-drenched epic, singular synths and an edgy bassline evoking classic Chain Reaction material, with a widescreen quality lending proceedings a more contemporary sheen.)

Paul Kalkbrenner
www.myspace.com/paulkalkbrenner
( ;D --> Although being one of BPitch_Control's oldest members and most productive, err, producer, Paul Kalkbrenner always kept a low profile, never reaching the iconic status of label’s boss Ellen Allien or the relative success of label mates such as Smash TV, Sascha Funke or Tok Tok (their ‘Missy Queen’s Gonna Die’ with Soffy O. has got to be the label’s most instantly recognizable track, and one of electroclash’s sole highlights). After three albums for the Berlin-based label (‘Superimpose’, ‘Zeit’, and ‘Self’, all released between 2001 and 2004), Kalkbrenner is now back with ‘Reworks’, a collection of, well, reworks of some of his well-known or more obscure tracks. And, strangely enough, this could be his most coherent album to date.)

Karl Johan
www.myspace.com/karljohanmusic
( ;D --> Karl Johan is the new Swedish wonder boy of electronic music. In less than a year he has gone from handing out demos at Germany’s Fusion festival to completing his self-titled debut album for Spiral Trax. In the meantime he has provided slamming remixes and singles for labels such as Tribal Vision, Spiral Trax and Plastik Park, gaining support from DJs such as Jerome Isma-ae, D-Nox, Glenn Morrison, Tocadisco, Hernan Cattaneo, James Harcourt, Eddie Halliwell, Fergie, 16bitlolitas, Meat Katie, Gareth Emery, Slater, Pena, Nick Warren, Tim Davison, Jamie Stevens, Parham and Flash Brothers, as well as reaching a top position in Beatport’s Progressive House Chart. Looking back at the last twelve months it is amazing to have been able to witness Karl Johan’s progression into a fully-fledged producer defining his own unique style of progressive- and tech-house with a tough techy edge.)

Sar's technique and musical sensibilities are reminiscent of early techno innovators'?Christian Vogel, Neil Landstrum, Plastikman, Jeff Mills?but he adds in a special high-tech elasticity and incorporates some of the most bizarre syncopated rhythms.)

One of the key figures of Cologne, Germany's electronic music scene, Mayer also has durable reputations as a remixer, DJ, and producer, and has released a small handful of his own singles on Kompakt -- a label he helps run with founder Wolfgang Voigt -- and Kompakt-related labels like New Trance Atlantic (NTA) and Kreisel 99.)

He is also a genuine laptop musician, with his entire set-up in the virtual world of his computer. Flying Lotus (who was born Steven Ellison) made beats for Adult Swim before releasing his debut full-length, 1983, which resembled the work of fellow avant-garde producers Madlib, J Dilla, and Ammoncontact, on Plug Research in 2006. Following the six-song Reset EP, his second full-length, Los Angeles, was released in 2008.)

With Monokultur, Memonic have created an album that takes a well-established genre, personalizes it, and then pushes it forward.)
