( ;D --> Chris Clark is an English electronic musician currently signed to Warp Records. With the 2006 release of Throttle Furniture, he shortened his artist name to Clark. Throttle Furniture and Body Riddle were both three years in the making, during which time Clark refined his sound considerably. His meticulous production style makes much use of manipulated live drum samples, which are used to construct complex beats.

Lycia
www.lyciummusic.com
( ;D --> There are many ways to describe darkwave band Lycia. Given the group’s quintessential gothic temperament, bleak, beautiful, esoteric, and ethereal?all ring true. Mentioned less often, however, is the band’s influence on a raft of acts that have quarried the dark veins of evocativeness that Lycia exposed. Label Handmade Birds recently released Lycia’s 1996 album, Cold, on LP for the first time, and with the band’s first full- length in? a decade, Quiet Moments, due for release in August, Cold‘s reappearance is a timely reminder of Lycia’s legacy in the sphere of bewitchingly mournful music. Lycia’s melding of dreamy synth and solemn rock has had a formative role to play in inspiring and nurturing artists who make brooding and shadowy rock and pop, and many contemporary noise, metal, and hauntological electronic outfits have also clearly drawn from Lycia’s darkly poetic oevure for inspiration. The band was originally founded as a solo project by guitarist, vocalist and keyboardist Mike Van Portfleet in 1988. However, it’s Lycia’s mid-‘90s work (with vocalist Tara Vanflower and multi-instrumentalist David Galas) that is most heralded for its blend of dark psychedelia, electronic soundscapes and spectral, plaintive vocals.)

( ;D --> Danton Eeprom's musical path is the one of a music fiend who experimented with many styles since his teens, going from garage rock to pop to experimental to super underground warehouse beats. At this point he had no time for anything else, and devoted his life to music. He has amassed a large body of work on labels such as Versatile, Rekids and Hypercolour, as well as remixes of Royksop, Radio Slave and Andrew Weatherall. Today as a DJ/Producer his sound is refined and house based, centering around sexy house beats and sophisticated rhythms but always eluding to the dark undercurrent in his earlier work. His live act is as experimental as ever but with the greater maturity that experience brings.)

( ;D --> Multi-media artist Philippe Laurent, well known for his Hot-Bip project excavated by Minimal Wave in 2011, is paired with contemporary Minimal Electronic mastermind HNN on this maxi 12" split single. Laurent's side was originally released in 1982 on the rare K7 Kunstaustellung which has seen a meticulous remaster from our mastering house Polyphasic Studios. Exposition 1 translates Laurent's precision with his design work into a symmetrical and well balanced sound for his time.)
