Flavor of the week #30

Dominik Eulberg
www.myspace.com/dominikeulberg
( ;D --> Heavily influenced by the sound of Sven Vath's radio show during the '90s, Germany's Dominik Eulberg began performing and producing music in front of small audiences in 1995. His early releases on the Sniper imprint caught the attention of such other labels as Matthias Schaffhäuser's Ware and Germany's Raum...Musik. After a series of singles on Traum Schallplatten and Trapez, Eulberg released his first full-length, Flora und Fauna in 2004. The album was met with much acclaim from critics, dancefloors, and DJs alike and resulted in a series of DJ-friendly remixes in 2005. He continues to record almost exclusively for Traum Schallplatten and in the past few years has become an in-demand remixer known for his epic compositional sensibilities and dramatic, sweeping arrangements. He recently came full-circle creatively by recording an EP for Sven Vath's Cocoon label in summer of 2006.)

Toktok

( ;D --> Toktok is a project of the artists Nerk, Anton Waldt, C14 and Fabian Feyerabendt from the german techno capital Berlin. At the moment, Toktok has slimmed down to the artists Nerk aka Benjamin Weiss & Fabian Feyerabendt with some occasional joining of Stefan Kuechenmeister and their magic ingredient in the form of vocalist and lyricist Sophia Larsson Ocklind, aka Soffy O. It was founded in 1994, emerging out of the prosperous free party scene at that time where the Toktok members organized Parties together with the legendary Spiral Tribe Sound System.)

( ;D --> At the end of 2008 21 year old Elly Jackson, aka La Roux, arrived with a whirlwind of excitement surrounding her and has had everyone from Franz Ferdinand to Daft Punk hailing her as a talent to watch. Now, the iconic redheaded Brixton girl unleashes her highly anticipated eponymous debut album.)

My Life With The Trhill Kill Kult

( ;D --> My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult specialized in mixing tales of sex, Satan, and gore with a rock/dance beat. Originally formed in 1987 by Buzz McCoy and Groovie Mann, the duo sought to create a worthy musical accompaniment that could be used as a soundtrack to trashy B-movies. The duo's initial project was to make a movie (in the style of Russ Meyer and John Waters) to be named "My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult." The movie never got off the ground, but McCoy and Mann used the aborted movie's title for the name of their just-formed group, as their over-the-top stage show was best described as "sensory overload" (featuring a revolving door of weird characters, props, and intense visuals.
In addition to their own releases, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult has contributed tracks to several movie soundtracks, including Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls, Greg Araki's Nowhere, and the hit flick The Crow (in the latter of which the group made a cameo appearance); and over the years, has toured with such renowned (and similarly styled) bands as Siouxie and the Banshees, Lords of Acid, EMF, and Marilyn Manson.)

( ;D --> The first single "Hypocrite" and the debut album "Artificial" were extremely successful in the US and in Europe. The club anthem "Warmongers" from their 2006 EP "Emphasize" became one of the most played songs in venues around the world. This follow-up is a groundbreaking, emotional, and empathetic masterpiece. It merges the songwriting and poetic lyrics of Vasi Vallis (NamNamBulu mastermind) with the touching and powerful voice of Felix Marc (Diorama) to create an absorbing atmosphere. RIYL: VNV Nation, Seabound, Wolfsheim, Covenant.)
