drexciyaresearchlab.blogspot.se
( ;D --> Dopplereffekt is an electronic music act which has been active since at least 1995 (year of first release). It is named after the German word for the Doppler effect. While the musical style and the act's image changed radically during a non-release period from 1999 to 2003, two steady characteristics are the display of a thematic affiliation with science and the obvious use of pseudonyms and the hence rumoured but unconfirmed identities of the members.The main member during all periods has probably been producer/ artist Gerald Donald alias "Rudolf Klorzeiger". Donald is generally accepted to be also the author of the acts Heinrich Müller/ Der Zyklus, Japanese Telecom and Arpanet as well as one half of the band Drexciya (with James Stinson). During that period the sound of these two acts showed strong similarities, in their Detroit electro sound that took influences from industrial, new wave, electro-pop and others, reforming them in a style which is musically complex, often using jazzy modal sequences, and alongside other Detroit based acts on the labels Underground Resistance and direct beat they were highly influential in the 90s' revival of electro.)

Somehow (Dopplereffekt Remix)
soundcloud.com/rdfdt/somehow-dopplereffekt-remix
( ;D --> Detroit enigma Dopplereffekt has been resurrected, emerging from a grave of jagged detritus and technotrash for their first release since 2007. Dopplereffekt has always preferred mystery and myth, and the Tetrahymena EP on Leisure System is a scorching assertion of their capacity for hallucinogenic abrasion. Tetrahymena wanders through decommissioned factories and an omnipresent chemical haze, evasive and contemplative like the last man alive in a crumbling steel city.)

www.residentadvisor.net/dj/defekt
myspace.com/defektedelectro
( ;D --> Matthew Flanagan is an electro head's electro producer, the kind that releases on niche labels catered to people who like exactly that kind of music. Transmuter, the second EP on Rob Booth's fledgling Electronic Explorations label, is easily his most prominent record yet, and it's got a more accessible sound to go with the territory. "Delusional" is all about the bassline. It's a concrete base for the throbbing distorted percussion, and it's got one hell of a hook, too. There's an unusual amount of space in "Drippin," which is mainly to make way for a metalic chord progression. The track fuses techno aesthetics with Drexciya-style synth blasts. Groove is paramount on Transmuter, and the butt-wiggling style is a direct contrast to the more abrasive elements that make up these tracks. It's most apparent on "Skitzo," which smooths out a searing acid line with an easygoing house strut. The excellent EP is rounded off with a brief diversion into wispy ambience that shows off the other aspects of Flanagan's range.)

DeFeKT’s Transmuter EP will be Electronic Explorations first solo artist record, which follows the Irishman’s Switch EP released earlier this year on the Signal Code imprint, and his contribution to a Cultivated Electronics sampler which saw DeFeKT collaborate with Sync 24, alongside other productions from Gosub, Versalife and the ever-prolific Tadd Mullinix as J.T.C.)

( ;D --> Gin Devo is a performing artist, musician, modular synthesist and founder/songwriter of the Belgian oldschool electronic cultband“Vomito Negro”. Inspired by Cabaret Voltaire and Kraftwerk. Gin started to experiment in the early 80’s with tapeloops, drumboxes, mono synthesizers and effect driven vocals to create his own electronic music. In the early 90’s Gin graduated at the royal art academy in Antwerp and was student at the Royal conservatory of experimental electronic music. In 2008, Gin decided that it was time to wake up the sleeping beast Vomito Negro and released “Skull & Bones” and “The 2K10 Remakes”. In 2011 “Slave Nation” was released, this album is Gin’s answer to our vanishing freedom in the name of global security and the fake war on terror. In 2012 EK product released Gin Devo’s solo project “Surface”. Surface was recorded in 1988/89, several visual artist used Gin Devo’s electronic soundscapes in Antwerp’s abandoned icefactory, or in Antwerp’s never used metro network to support there works.

Errata is roldschool, only hardware synthesizers, gate/step sequencers and vintage drum machines are used to compose and record the album.

Burial

www.hyperdub.net/artists/view/Burial
( ;D --> Burial is an electronic musician from South London. His eponymous debut album was released in 2006 to critical acclaim. The Wire magazine named it their album of the year and it came fifth in the Mixmag 2006 Album of the Year list. On Friday, September 28th 2007, a new Burial album was announced, and Untrue was released 6 weeks later on November 5th. Although both albums have been met with much critical acclaim, Burial remained anonymous until August 2008, stating in a past interview that “only five people know I make tunes”. In February 2008, The Independent reported that Burial was an alumnus of south London’s Elliott School named William Bevan (another alumnus, Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard, said in 2006 that Burial was in the year above him). The school’s alumni also include Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet, with whom Bevan has collaborated.)

PVLE

( ;D --> electronic witch house.  With 4 EP’s released since May, PVLE seems to be focused on a changing style as opposed to full length albums. Most of their releases are 3-4 songs long and generously priced. I would consider them a very underrated artist, with only a few purchases from Bandcamp users visible. Here we have almost a clubby style of witch house/chillwave album, it’s only 3 songs but every song is a slammer.)

( ;D --> 'Slo Light' is the debut album by Davidge featuring vocal collaborators including Sandie Shaw, Cate Le Bon, Karima Francis, Stephonik Youth & Patrick Duff. An album deeply-schooled in Bristol beats, electronica, soundtracks, orchestral music and more, 'Slo Light' creates a fantasy world in which tension, darkness and beauty find the perfect equilibrium. The album is sky-high on production value, with an unparalleled clarity and sonic depth typical of Davidge's unique sound.)

Comaduster
tympanikaudio.com/artists/comaduster
( ;D --> Comaduster is the solo electronic project of the Canadian musician and sound designer, Réal Cardinal. Staring from a young age as a drummer, Cardinal quickly turned to writing his own compositions with computers and a modest assortment of gear. In 2008 Cardinal took a postition at BioWare Edmonton as a game sound designer on the ‘Mass Effect‘ and ‘Dragon Age‘ Franchises. In 2009 Cardinal self-released the debut Comaduster album / EP ‘Slip Through’ digitally for donation-only. The album featured a group of selected tracks from a period between 2002 and 2007, which were then re-mixed and reworked to create a fluid and cohesive collection of work. The dark and eclectic mix of IDM, Industrial, and Ambient elements made ‘Slip Through‘ a highly-regarded work by listeners and critics alike. The track “Foam Abattoir” was ultimately featured on Dependent Records ‘Septic XI’ compilation in 2010.)
Hollow Worlds
tympanikaudio.bandcamp.com/album/hollow-Worlds
( ;D --> Drawing from a deep well of influences, 'Hollow Worlds' encompasses a distinctive range of musical styles skillfully incorporating elements of industrial, dubstep, EDM, post-rock, glitch, IDM, ambient, and pop music into a wholly polished and cohesive assembly of work that garners cerebral as well as dancefloor allure. From start to finish, 'Hollow Worlds' executes a potent strike, sustaining a proficient balance of bass-heavy beats, gushing synth melodies, taut rhythmic structures, and absorbing lyrics with humanistic vocals to match.)

Later that year they won the Studio Brussel Demopoll with The Future Of The Sun. In 2007 they teamed up with Len Lemeire (from Implant/32Crash fame) to record their first album Creationism. 2008 saw the signing to the Alfa Matrix record label and the release of a new album, featurings and remixes. 2010 brings the third album of Psy'Aviah entitled Eclectric, produced by band member Yves Schelpe and mastered by Geert de Wilde of IC 434 in Antwerp. Their third album brings again a mix of electric eclecticism, varying between styles always with a hint of darkness. This time they have invited some more guests such as Jean-Luc De Meyer of Front 242 fame to sing on the track Ophélie, and Jennifer Parkin of Ayria who guests on the track Into The Game.)
