( ;D --> Funckarma is the long standing project of Don and Roel Funcken. Two Dutch brothers notorious for their bass heavy, groove filled IDM and experimental approach to all forms of electronic music. Always forging new sounds in their constant sonic evolution. More recently they’re breaking into the dubstep and DnB scenes, bringing their own unique form to these ever shifting landscapes. Roel Funcken officially popped up on the scene in 2010, with his solo debut, titled Vade, out on Ad Noiseam. But fans of electronic music, and IDM in general, have been tracking this Dutch musician for over a decade prior, when, along with his brother, Don, the duo has released some of the genre defining music on labels such as Djak-Up-Bitch, Schematic, Sublight Records, Neo Ouija, n5MD and others, as the one and only Funckarma.)

IRIS
iris-us.bandcamp.com/
( ;D --> After a long hiatus on social media channels, the IRIS-satellite unexpectedly reports back to their homebase, including a 50 second snippet of "Third Strike" - the opening track of their new album "Six" - and the message above. The notion of a remote satellite suddenly starting to broadcast again, from somewhere in outer space, is a metaphor that works well on two fronts: the long media absence of the band, and the core concept of IRIS as a project which is "far out" from the normal synthpop genre. Iris stand out from the herd of their genre competitors not just in terms of quality, but also style and mission.)

( ;D --> Drawing from the grittiness of early #industrial & #EBM, Statiqbloom combine hard beats & #haunting #electronics with disorienting vocals to create pulsing raw Post-Industrial. The new album, Asphyxia, intricately weaves a dark, hallucinogenic path of intricate and grim electronics. Uncompromising, layered, and brilliant, a benchmark for the future of #darkelectro.)

The Future Sound of London / FSOL

www.facebook.com/theamorphousandrogynous
( ;D --> The Future Sound of London (often abbreviated to FSOL) is a British electronic music band composed of Garry Cobain (sometimes styled as Gaz Cobain) and Brian Dougans. The duo are often credited with pushing the boundaries of electronic music experimentation and of pioneering a new era of dance music. Although often labelled as ambient, Cobain and Dougans usually resist being typecast into any one particular genre. Their work covers many areas of electronic music, such as ambient techno, house music, trip-hop, ambient dub, acid techno.[4] In addition to music composition, their interests have covered a number of areas including film and video, 2D and 3D computer graphics, animation in making almost all their own videos for their singles, radio broadcasting and creating their own electronic devices for sound making. They have released works under numerous aliases. The artists have been fairly enigmatic in the past but have become more candid with their fanbase in recent years with social websites like Myspace, YouTube, their forum and many interviews in which Cobain almost always speaks for the group.)

Lee Gamble
soundcloud.com/leegamble
www.facebook.com/leegamblemusic/
( ;D --> Gamble’s music has the feel of someone floating above it, looking in, only tangentially participating in what’s going on. Beats are muffled, signals echo for an eternity; on “Head Model”, there’s acres of room between the parts being triggered, but it never feels like there’s a ton of space opening up. Instead, it’s all dense, claustrophobic reflection, with many of Gamble’s tracks trapped in one very specific moment without any forward flow at all. Occasionally there’s movement, but even that verges on the cyclical. “HMix” begins with a charge of muddied beats and bass, only to get filtered into reedy compression that resembles the worst kind of amphetamine headrush. There’s a similar mindset here to others who have attempted to scoop out the innards of electronics to see what remains—Actress, Autechre, Pan Sonic—but Gamble is in an even more detached place, where the inclusionary side of club culture appears utterly alien.)

Linea Aspera

www.soundcloud.com/linea-aspera
lineaaspera.bandcamp.com/
( ;D --> Linea Aspera is the London duo of Ryan Ambridge (Synths/Programming) and Alison Lewis (Vocals/Synths). They began the project in November 2011, technically drawing inspiration from electronic music from the early 1980s. Within the duo, Alison writes and performs all vocal elements, while Ryan is responsible for the writing and performing of the electronics, as well as recording and mixing of the final recordings. For their debut album they utilized small, simple analog synthesizer set up: Roland SH-09, Roland Juno 6, Vermona DRM MKiii, Korg Poly 800 and Analogue Solutions Semblance. Linea Aspera’s sound includes clear influences from early electronic body music, classic synth-pop and, in some instances, industrial and noise. Lyrically the band incorporates the sciences of osteology, neuroscience, and anthropology weaving a new medical language around themes of desire, despair and renewal. Linea Aspera serve up an icebox of dark doom riding on Alison’s powerful vocals with a soft but sharp touch.)

Synapsyche

synapsyche.bandcamp.com
( ;D --> The italian band Synapsyche was born in the late 2008 by the will of Stefano “Mannequinetik”, mastermind and only composer, with the intent to create an electro-industrial project with dark and aggrotech features, a bit lacking in their own motherland. To start the band up, he simply needed to integrate a singer, expert for both clean and harsh vocals, and able to manage lyrics, vocal lines and rhythmics: the choice falls on Marco “Katatronik” Mantovani, performer with a 10-years experience as singer, both melodic in an italian rock band (Zona Traffico Libero) and screaming-growling in a melodic death metal band (Ultima Necat).)

Mondträume
www.facebook.com/Mondtraeume/
alfa-matrix-store.com/mondtraume
( ;D --> Mondträume originates in the mind of Pikotto in 2010 with the purpose of creating a sound based on melodic electronic music, with just a theme in active (Life is Short) he manages to appear on Extreme Sündenfall vol. 10, with the participation of another singer. Not really fulfilled with the final result, he keeps on searching for that special voice. In late 2011, Pikotto meets Damasius finding the missing vocal part, remaking Life is Short and it is then when Mondträume consolidates as a band and achieves the desired harmony between base and voice.)
Lovers, sinners & liars (Bonus Tracks Version)

Aesthetische

www.facebook.com/aesthetische
( ;D --> Aesthetische is the musical return of Fab Viscardi and Gui Pires of Aghast View and Biopsy to the hard industrial dance / electronic scene after a hiatus of almost 8 years! Aesthtetische’s electronic sound aims at diversity on the EBM genre and carries craft and complexity to the composition paired with a well rounded production and modern programming technique. Tracks vary from mid tempo solid EBM to more fast paced outbursts of synth layers and beats. Aesthetische is influenced by all sorts of electronic music, not only hard electronics, but all forms of electronic expression. Influences from Rock, world music, contemporary music also play a part on AE’s sound.)
