( ;D --> Since the debut 12" in 1993, ten artist albums for F communications and more recently Turbo recordings, collaborations with people as verstaile as John Foxx, Jose Gonzales, Jesper Dahlbäck (as Kebacid) and Phonogenic (as Discemi), dozens of 12" singles on some of the world's hottest labels, and close to a hundred remixes for artists as diverse as Chromeo, Kid Cudi, Robyn, and Lydia Lunch, followed by producing albums for the bands Sister Flo, Villa Nah and NightSatan, and naturally the writing and production work on both Tiga -albums, all qualify as self-explanatory efforts of a passionate music aficionado. And that's excluding the sideprojects.)

Karl Bartos

( ;D --> Karl Bartos was, between 1975 and 1990, along with Wolfgang Flür, an electronic percussionist in the electronic-music group Kraftwerk. He was originally recruited to play on its US "Autobahn" tour. In addition to his percussion playing, Bartos was credited with songwriting on the Man-Machine, Computer World, and Electric Café albums and sang one lead vocal on the latter. He left the group in 1990, reportedly frustrated at the slow progress in the group's activities because of the increasingly perfectionist attitude of founding members Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider.)

Branes

( ;D --> A self-described hyper-pop, maximal synth duo from Los Angeles, CA. Originally forming as a performance art based project in late 2010, BRANES have relentlessly toured with a live show that is aggressive and conceptual. Ivy’s love for early goth music and Susan Subtract’s background in mutant punk creates a sound that is inherently genuine and absurd.)

( ;D --> Sultry vocals, spidery guitar textures, raunchy synth lines, thick beats, Seattle’s Nightmare Fortress released one of the most original records of the year. Along with Alison Lewis, Nightmare Fortress’s Alicia Amiri has one of the most gorgeous voices in the whole “New Darkness” scene. She can really sing, and she doesn’t bury her vocals in all kinds of deceptive effects.)
