www.facebook.com/AndreBratten
( ;D --> Andre Bratten was born in Oslo and grew up in a suburb of the Norwegian capital, which borders on the deep, dark Scandinavian forest. Like most kids in the late 1990s, he was bitten by the hiphop bug, but he also got turned on by the Led Zeppelin records he picked out from his father’s record collection. He’s broadminded enough to be into everything from the Norwegian electronica masters Røyksopp to Metro Area, Sigur Rós, Eno, Cluster and Weather Report.)

( ;D --> Brand new EP from Markko B. (С-Lekktor, Circuito Cerrado) and his amazing trance side-project! This time Markko teamed up with several vocalists to take Kromak's pounding beats and uplifting vibes to a whole new level! Not to mention that the EP contains a great surprise for all Depeche Mode fans out there - Kromak's rendition of "Sister Of Night" in two different versions, one featuring Ruined Conflict and the other a duo of Unity One and Carved Souls!)

Jonas Saalbach
soundcloud.com/jonassaalbach
( ;D --> Honest techno-music, permeated by powerful basses, graceful arrangements and dreamy melodies – one might add a lot more attributes, but basically, Jonas Saalbach is refreshingly different. He constantly reinvents his music but refrains from leaving out distinct nuances, which make his music unmistakable. The 23 year-old performs his tracks exclusively live. His music seems to distort space and time, liberates and triggers an intoxicating euphoric effect, that is long overdue. A young talent who can already look back on several releases but whose work is still in its infancy. With his first release on Einmusika Recordings the Berlin resident embarks on a journey to new influences and old passions.)

Planet Mu (Mike & Rich)
planet.mu/
( ;D -->  Planet Mu is an English electronic music record label run by Mike Paradinas (also known as µ-Ziq).)
Aphex Twin
warp.net/records/aphex-Twin
( ;D --> Richard David James (born 18 August 1971), best known by his stage name Aphex Twin, is an England-based electronic musician and composer. He has been described by The Guardian as "the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music", and is the co-founder of Rephlex Records with Grant Wilson-Claridge.[1] Aphex Twin's album Selected Ambient Works 85-92 was called the best album of the 1990s by FACT Magazine.)
µ-Ziq
soundcloud.com/mikep
( ;D -->  Mike Paradinas has become one of the very few artists working with electronics to produce a recognisable and personalised sound while at the same time mixing far-reaching experimentalism with accessibility through infectious melodies and rhythms. Achieving healthy record sales and staying true to the pioneering spirit of the underground is no mean feat.)
Mike & Rich  Expert Knob Twiddlers
planetmu.bleepstores.com/release/74321-mike-rich-expert-knob-twiddlers
( ;D --> Remastered and re-edited reissue of the collaboration album between Richard D. James aka Aphex Twin and Mike Paradinas aka µ–Ziq. Now includes bonus tracks and alternative versions Expert Knob Twiddlers’ was made back in 1994. Richard edited the tracks into shape later in 1996 with his new Apple Mac computer and it was released later that year on Rephlex, the label he co-owned and which released the first two albums by µ-Ziq. These are fun experiments in the spirit of lighthearted moog pop and ripe 70s British TV themes, standing out from the po-faced electronica of the time with a garish glee. The record was made on what is now seen as pretty primitive gear - an Atari, Roland MKS-80, Memorymoog, Roland R8 and a handful of samples on a Casio FZ-10M - but it’s to their credit that it resonates well with the hardware workouts coming out today.)

( ;D -->  While the drama continues and we keep fighting the demons of our daily struggle,.. a man from another place locked himself down in a black lodge, conceiving new material to share with the world. 214 isn't just a number, it's music from an extradimensional place, high up the North Bend mountains. Frequencies coming from a red room, filled with electronic circuitry parallel connected to our inner soul.)

Fujiya & Miyagi
www.fujiya-miyagi.co.uk/
( ;D --> They are self-described as being heavily influenced by Krautrock bands, Can and Neu! as well as the early 1990s electronic music artist, Aphex Twin. The origins of the band's name come from a character in the film, The Karate Kid as well as the brand of a record player. The lines "We're not a couple of shadowboxers/Oh/Oh/Just two Anglo-Saxons" from the 2008 track Butterfingers and "We were just pretending to be Japanese" from Photocopier may be comments on the band name and how it is perceived.)

Crystal Castles does not in fact use a modified keyboard with an Atari 5200 sound chip as an oscillator, as it is frequently claimed. Their musical style has been described as having "ferocious, asphyxiating sheets of warped two-dimensional Gameboy glitches and bruising drum bombast pierce [the] skull with sheer shrill force, burrowing deep into the brain like a fever")

( ;D --> VOGUE.NOIR is a one man project, Dominique Cologne. Previously playing in the Synth/Post Punk duo SATO SATO , Dominique kept the machine based approach to write music inspired by the Synth scene in the 80s. Using elements of Italo Disco, EBM, Minimal Synth and Synthpop , VOGUE.NOIR aims to convey a reflective, melancholic sound with the energy of Dance music.Music is an art- form, and its independence is essential in order to be able to offer up authentic artists, who operate from beyond the scope of any business propositions and sclerotic production lines. Unknown Pleasures Records is the answer to the lifelessness and mediocrity of the current music scene.)

Controlled Bleeding

( ;D --> Controlled Bleeding's sound is confusingly varied from album to album and has contained elements of dub, free jazz, noise, prog, sacred music, dark ambient, classical and musique concrète. To their own detriment, the group has never cared much about generating or maintaining an audience, but just sort of does whatever inspires them in the moment.)
Larva Lumps and Baby Bumps
controlledbleeding.bandcamp.com/album/larva-lumps-and-baby-bumps
( ;D --> Larva Lumps is a startling record: it somehow flawlessly mixes industrial noise and prog rock into a beautifully stream-of-conscious work that is at once fairly brutal and lovingly serene.)

Kill Your Darlings
en.dependent.de/mesh-kill-your-darlings.html
( ;D --> This one serves as an appetizer for MESH's forthcoming album "Looking Skyward": ‚Kill Your Darlings' is the Brits' new single and no mean feat - pounding beats, heavy guitars, a killer bass line, and above it all singer Mark Hocking's fantastic voice. MESH haven't lost their impact since "Automation Baby" - on the contrary: The band delivers a great hybrid of electronics and guitars without neglecting their stylistic roots.)

A promising new act from the far north by the name of PRIDE AND FALL.
