November Növelet
www.novembernoevelet.de/
( ;D --> November Növelet is the genetic cultural offspring of Haus Arafna. Shortly after the foundation of Haus Arafna in the early 'nineties, Mr. and Mrs. Arafna felt the need to breath life into a further project. This would be where ideas that didn't fit directly into the original concept envisaged for Haus Arafna could find their place. Their youthful innocence prevented them from realising in truth how difficult it would be to differentiate between two musical identities. They appear however to have found a way: despite the natural dividing lines between the two projects, and how should one to deal with both the electronic and the compositorial aspects, November Növelet developed over time and crystallised into an Angst Pop with a tendency to Electro New Wave and so Haus Arafna could carefully deal with the industrial origins of Angst Pop.)

Dark Phenomenon
www.facebook.com/DarkPhenomenon
( ;D --> An amazing combination of musical clichés sometimes difficult to combine; an alternation of dance beats and melancholic atmosphere trips, florid piano passages and «old-school»-synthpop arrangements; an incredible mix of bright electro pop sound and a crazy rock and roll energy – this all motley spectrum merged together in the Dark Phenomenon's songs! Bright and unlike synthetic sound creations framed with unusual vocals, woven out of the author’s pain, feelings and hopes are ready to immerse you into the endless world of clear melancholy, eternal conflicts and sincere feelings!)

Leæther Strip
www.facebook.com/LeaetherStrip/
www.leaether-strip.com/
( ;D --> According to founder Claus Larsen, Leæther Strip is, and always will be, only him. Larsen was born on November 13, 1967 in Aalborg, Denmark. He first released music under the name of Leæther Strip in 1989. However, his 1995 release G.A.W.M.U.S. (Getting Away With Murder U. S.) included two early demos from 1982 and 1984, with the latter forming the unknown beginning of the band according to an interview conducted with Claus Larsen. In 1991, Larsen created a side-project called Klute in which he also remained the sole member. It can be argued, and is by many, that the sound of Leæther Strip throughout the early 1990s helped define what is today known as electro-industrial. In a search performed on MySpace on December 1st, 2008, 294 bands had listed Leæther Strip (or "Leather Strip") as a musical influence, although the true number of bands influenced by Larsen's work is undoubtedly much higher. In 1994, Claus Larsen drastically changed the sound of Leæther Strip, with the release of a synthesized semi classical album. Conceived as a soundtrack to a fictional film, it was named Serenade for the Dead. The releases since then have reincorporated electronic dance elements, and have redefined Leæther Strip into what Larsen calls, "symphonic electro".)

We Are Temporary
www.facebook.com/wearetemporary
soundcloud.com/we-are-temporary
wearetemporary.com/
( ;D --> We Are Temporary, the wired and weird brainchild of Brooklyn’s Mark Roberts, is as much the result of a musical obsession as a philosophical one. With boldly confessional lyrics and vocal deliveries funneled through nightfall beats and orchestral synths, We Are Temporary draws from a wide range of influences in contemporary electronic music, future beats, dream pop, witch house, post-rock, vintage industrial, minimal techno, and classical music. Featured in outlets such as Noisey, Refinery 29, PAPER Magazine, Yahoo!, The Village Voice, Complex, Brooklyn Vegan, and Under The Radar, his sound and production sensibilities having been compared to bands such as Fever Ray, Crystal Castles, M83, Bat For Lashes, Gazelle Twin, Skinny Puppy, and “Depeche Mode at there most raw”.)

Red Cell

www.facebook.com/redcellmusic
( ;D --> Red Cell - unabashedly a synth-pop band who channel the genre’s pioneers. Their music, as such, isn’t the electronic-oriented, dance-infused stuff currently being heard on the radio. It isn’t even the warm new wave of New Order. Instead, Red Cell are replicating the early musicians who took analogue synthesizers and manipulated sound, and following the works of artists who integrated elements of other genres like progressive rock and industrial.)

( ;D -->After two decades in the game, David Carretta has become known as something of a forward-thinking master at producing spiky, atmospheric electro that might work its way through anything from Italo-disco to noir-ish, cinematic electronica to the work of fellow French innovators.

Enjoy the second volume of compilation retrospective of one of the most influential artists on the international electronic music scene.)

The fact that she’s made one of the best electronic records of the year, released under her alias Helena Celle, doesn’t make her feel any less detached from dance culture. “I don’t feel like I can ever really belong in clubs,” she says. Instead, it’s among the “weirdos” of Glasgow’s fertile punk scene that she feels most at home, she says, having joined hardcore band Anxiety last summer.)

Franck is surrounded discovering the house music in 1986, five years later he spent his first payment in the purchase of a synth. At that time he started to buy hardware equipment. His music is based in purely analogical gear giving him a special warm feature in sound and concept. Franck´s live approach different schemes in production, composition and performing plus the support of visual media interaction passing through several stages of sound experimentation to dynamic and advanced works in synthesis and FX process dimension. The passion for the vintage, the robotic, the sic fi and lot of concepts in futurism, shows that Franck Kartell is making an important contribution to the current serious electronics taking elements from the past years.)

Shortly after this release, Léo Farronato ( Memento Maurice ) started to take part in this project, and today Blind Delon is working as a duet, with big influences from 80's Post-Punk/Cold Wave to the french Techno scene and the german Neue Deutsche Welle. Synth-Pop might be the best word to qualify their music, as their music is a sort of breed between outrageous Pop and cold basslines. Building a bridge between Pop and Rave music, Blind Delon is making a conventionnal yet romantic Post-Punk sound and join now Unknown Pleasures Records roster.)

ProtoU

www.facebook.com/protoudrone
( ;D --> protoU, Sasha is a trained violinist and choir vocalist who grew up with an addiction to music. Her first ventures into her own productions were a strong mix of distorted electronics, a far cry from her classical background. With the studio foundations in place she started producing a multitude of related genres like drum n bass, ambient and electronic music. Inspired by the dark ambient people in her life she surrounded herself with she slowly drifted into the scene and started turning her productions towards the depths. She has described dark ambient as something that gives her a freedom of thought in relation to the complexity of the world of wonders, a mix between the simple and the difficult.)
Khmaoch
cryochamber.bandcamp.com/album/khmaoch
( ;D --> Sasha returns with her second solo album on Cryo Chamber. Crafted in the Kiev high rise and the Black Room Studio. Exploring eastern esoteric traditions this will take you on a voyage through old civilization. The crackling sound of incense fills ancient ruins. A solitary flute by Ivan Ioanov leads you through dim lit passageways underneath. Deep drone summons forgotten spirits as lush noise of mother earth calms the soul. The contrast of dark and light on this album serves an enlightening experience.)
