Massive Ego
www.massiveego.co.uk
( ;D --> "In a way avant-garde band Massive Ego can't even be analysed in a normal, earthly way. And actually we feel like the genre grouping avant-garde doesn't suit them either. We think they should have their own genre .Maybe something like, electroslut clash, or eyeliner punk. Either way any band whose lead singer looks like a cross between Amanda Palmer and Voldemort has to be at least paid some attention."

Kant Kino
www.myspace.com/kantkino08
( ;D --> Kant Kino was started late 2008 for playing at a free slot at Elektrostat 2008 (major underground festival in Norway celebrating 10 years - this year with Apoptygma Berzerk and Front for 242 and many others). Kant Kino consist of band members active in Industrial Heads, Skin Disease and The Film Inside. KANT KINO inject the distorted force of the 90's dark elektro genre into their strong 80's EBM roots to render dark body music with distorted vocals and a strong sense for melody. Have you ever dared to have the forbidden thought of hearing a fresh combination of HOCICO or WUMPSCUT’s distorted darkness with the melodic EBM side of classic acts like NITZER EBB or LEAETHER STRIP? Expect EBM with the Norwegian seal of quality!)

( ;D --> Vitalic is the alter ego of Pascal Arbez, a French programmer/multi-instrumentalist who blends electro, techno, and house -- as well as elements of classical, rock, Italo-disco, and '70s electronic music -- into a sound that recalls the work of fellow countrymen Daft Punk and Air, but has its own hard-edged playfulness. Arbez played trombone as a child and young adult, but became fascinated with dance music when he heard Daft Punk in the mid-'90s. Inspired by them as well as Giorgio Moroder, Arbez switched to analog synths and began writing and recording as Dima.)

Kaltherzig started as one-man project. All music and lyrics were written by Alexander Krupp. But also one can find Alice and Nika Noname in line-up of the project today. The softness and smoothness of this music are able to wrap the listener in the texture of clear simple melodies and immerse in the atmosphere of different feelings.)
