( ;D --> The best music is music that can make you think as well as feel, sounds that are as visceral as they are cerebral. And the best love songs are those that acknowledge that the power of human sexuality can be just as terrifying as it is thrilling, that the passion that leads us to love can also lead us into dark, dark places. Welcome to the world of Brooklyn duo Beacon, who explore the dark side of the sweet melody with a sound that’s as seductive as it is subtly discomfiting. The duo – Thomas Mullarney III and Jacob Gossett – met at Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute, where they were studying sculpture and painting respectively. As with many other great musical partnerships, this one involves two disparate sets of influences coming together to form a sound that’s both fresh and exciting. They fuse the deceptively sweet melodies of R&B with an intoxicating undercurrent of darkness, drawing on influence as disparate as Warp’s back catalogue and Underworld.  The fusion of these two sounds – R&B’s melody and sexuality, electronic music’s complexity and, especially, the bass - heavy sound design of Mullarney’s influences (“Bass is key to our music,” he enthuses, “big, thunderous rap bass”) – would provide a blueprint for Beacon’s own sound: there’s a duality at play here, an idea of something dark lurking beneath a sleek veneer, a sense of latent conflict and uncertain resolution.)

Richard H. Kirk
www.richardhkirk.com/
( ;D --> Kirk first came to prominence in the 1970s as a member of the seminal industrial band Cabaret Voltaire. His first release as a solo artist, Disposable Half-Truths, came in 1980 and he maintained a career as a solo artist alongside Cabaret Voltaire until the band's dissolution in 1994. It was during the 1990s that his solo output increased considerably. Kirk’s works have explored every type of electronic/dance music under so many pseudonyms that it is sometimes difficult to develop a full picture of the vast scope covered. His prolific and catalyst work in electronic music earned him the established reputation as contemporary techno's busiest man.)

November Növelet
www.novembernoevelet.de/
( ;D --> November Növelet is the genetic cultural offspring of Haus Arafna. Shortly after the foundation of Haus Arafna in the early 'nineties, Mr. and Mrs. Arafna felt the need to breath life into a further project. This would be where ideas that didn't fit directly into the original concept envisaged for Haus Arafna could find their place. Their youthful innocence prevented them from realising in truth how difficult it would be to differentiate between two musical identities. They appear however to have found a way: despite the natural dividing lines between the two projects, and how should one to deal with both the electronic and the compositorial aspects, November Növelet developed over time and crystallised into an Angst Pop with a tendency to Electro New Wave and so Haus Arafna could carefully deal with the industrial origins of Angst Pop.)

The Residents
www.residents.com
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Residents
( ;D --> Over the course of a recording career spanning several decades, the Residents remained a riddle of Sphinx-like proportions; cloaking their lives and music in a haze of willful obscurity, the band's members never identified themselves by name, always appearing in public in disguise -- usually tuxedos, top hats and giant eyeball masks -- and refusing to grant media interviews. Drawing inspiration from the likes of fellow innovators including Harry Partch, Sun Ra, and Captain Beefheart, the Residents channelled the breadth of American music into their idiosyncratic, satiric vision, their mercurial blend of electronics, distortion, avant-jazz, classical symphonies and gratingly nasal vocals reinterpreting everyone from John Philip Sousa to James Brown while simultaneously expanding the boundaries of theatrical performance and multimedia interaction.)

( ;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.)

David Carretta

( ;D --> After two decades in the game, David Carretta has become known as something of a forward-thinking master at producing spiky, atmospheric electro that might work its way through anything from Italo-disco to noir-ish, cinematic electronica to the work of fellow French innovators. The incredible remixes he did for the internationally respected Techno big artists are the best examples of his knowledge of electronic music, whether Techno, EBM, New Beat and Italo Disco. Enjoy the second volume of compilation retrospective of one of the most influential artists on the international electronic music scene.)

Flavor of the Week #9

.
B12
www.facebook.com/electrosoma/
www.b12records.com/
www.firescope.co.uk/artists/4591260111
( ;D --> B12 are a British electronic music duo consisting of Mike Golding and Steve Rutter. First appearing in the early 1990s under a variety of monikers, including Musicology, Redcell and Cmetric, the duo were often mistaken as hailing from Detroit, their sound being comparable to the so-called second wave of Detroit techno.)
Mindbender

link.bleep.com/B12-Mindbender-FireScope
( ;D --> UK ambient techno pioneer B12 returns to their own FireScope imprint with the four track EP Mindbender. The tone of the EP is set by the opening downtempo glitch jam ‘Last Man Standing’, a slow-mo horror synth motif reminiscent of John Carpenter. There is a distinct deep space nine vibe in both the musical atmospheres and the chosen song titles, both reflecting a much darker vision of the future than the uplifting and exploratory vibe found on early records such as Hall of Mirrors. Still, the mission statement is clear and the execution is on point.)

In Strict Confidence

www.myspace.com/instrictconfidence 
( ;D --> For over 15 years, In Strict Confidence has been creating a unique blend of electronic industrial music. Their last few releases saw an incorporation of pop sensibilities thrown into the mix to give their songs a “rock vibe” while maintaining In Strict Confidence’s signature identity. Formed in 1992, In Strict Confidence has been carving their own niche in the music world for over a decade.  The volatile combination of Dennis Ostermann (Vocals / Programming) and Jorg Schelte (Programming) have been soaring up the German charts since the band's inception. ISC burst onto the scene to rave reviews and praises from media and fans worldwide. Soon after, they were named Orkus Magazine's newcomer of the year. Since receiving this honor, ISC has not slowed down, appearing on nearly 70 compilations and releasing seven full length albums, several singles and and two EPs.In Strict Confidence has continued their development and as we cross into the new millennium, they continue to forge ahead laying the groundwork for things to come and setting the standards for all others to follow.)
