( ;D --> B12 are a British electronic music duo consisting of Mike Golding and Steve Rutter. First appearing in the early 1990s under a variety of monikers, including Musicology, Redcell and Cmetric, the duo were often mistaken as hailing from Detroit, their sound being comparable to the so-called second wave of Detroit techno.)
Mindbender
link.bleep.com/B12-Mindbender-FireScope
( ;D --> UK ambient techno pioneer B12 returns to their own FireScope imprint with the four track EP Mindbender. The tone of the EP is set by the opening downtempo glitch jam ‘Last Man Standing’, a slow-mo horror synth motif reminiscent of John Carpenter. There is a distinct deep space nine vibe in both the musical atmospheres and the chosen song titles, both reflecting a much darker vision of the future than the uplifting and exploratory vibe found on early records such as Hall of Mirrors. Still, the mission statement is clear and the execution is on point.)

In Strict Confidence

www.myspace.com/instrictconfidence 
( ;D --> For over 15 years, In Strict Confidence has been creating a unique blend of electronic industrial music. Their last few releases saw an incorporation of pop sensibilities thrown into the mix to give their songs a “rock vibe” while maintaining In Strict Confidence’s signature identity. Formed in 1992, In Strict Confidence has been carving their own niche in the music world for over a decade.  The volatile combination of Dennis Ostermann (Vocals / Programming) and Jorg Schelte (Programming) have been soaring up the German charts since the band's inception. ISC burst onto the scene to rave reviews and praises from media and fans worldwide. Soon after, they were named Orkus Magazine's newcomer of the year. Since receiving this honor, ISC has not slowed down, appearing on nearly 70 compilations and releasing seven full length albums, several singles and and two EPs.In Strict Confidence has continued their development and as we cross into the new millennium, they continue to forge ahead laying the groundwork for things to come and setting the standards for all others to follow.)

Nhar
soundcloud.com/nhar
www.facebook.com/nharofficial
( ;D --> Electronic music is a secret and complex art: It lives on chaos and paradoxes, clashed histories and dark sides. So is Nhar’s musical algorithm. Coming from the flourishing southern techno scene, the artist has developed a personal universe on the fringes of techno and minimal house on labels such as Modélisme, Mobilee, Plak or Correspondant. This sphere of activities takes us back to several legacies including, first of all, the original scene, which served as a big bang to electronic music in France. Indeed, Nhar awakens to electronic thanks to the southern rave scene, which since the early nineties is one hub of a kind in Europe owing to its leading events (Boréalis, Dragon Bal) and hyperactive collectives. Drummer in a metal band until he was seventeen, the artist then plunged into that breeding ground of activists and artists: the right time to combine the best tendencies from a booming European scene at that time. Soon he composed his first tracks. His first projects are released with 22 Crew; the duet formed with Kevin Scherschel, esteemed artist whose latest LP 22:22 has been released on Edelweiss/Module. An artistic potential emphasized with two EPs: The first one released on Modélisme, Sébastien Bromberger’s exemplary record label, the second one is a partnership with, Parisian figurehead DJ, Jennifer Cardini on Dirt.)

Fiero
giallodiscorecords.bandcamp.com/album/modus-operandi-ep
( ;D --> Fiero will need no introduction, the Colombian via New-York analog synth wizard has released some of the most highly sought after proper disco music this side of 1978. Here is his first time on Giallo Disco, with his darkest compositions yet. Hot flanged pads, detuned basslines, 606 madness, space choirs, it's all here. Imagine if Goblin and / or Stefano Mainetti did a New Beat tribute to Carpenter and you'd be getting warm. You've fallen, it's rising from the swamp, and you can't get away...)
