( ;D --> After nine years of performing in various music projects, producing artists, and remixing, Stephan S. finally created his own personal solo project: Lost in Desire; disregarding any commercial formats, simply expressing emotion, as heavy and dramatic as they feel to him. I want my lyrics to insipre, want you to feel, I want you to dream... I don't want to explain. I want every listener to have their own interpretations, their own images and feelings attached to each song. The first demo recordings of LiD date back to 2006, composed mainly on the acoustic guitar, later augmented with all instruments Stephan likes and plays. A unique, dramatic sound backing Stephan's passionate vocals was created.)

John Maus
www.myspace.com/johnmaus  
www.mausspace.com
( ;D --> John Maus lives in his birthplace of Austin, Minnesota. Whilst working towards his PhD in Political Science he also composes music that taps into melancholic fantasy and affirms that we are all truly alive. Questing synthesisers, tensely strung bass lines and chasing drum machines provide the perfect backdrop for John's deeply resonant reverb-drenched vocal. Born in the decade of synth pop and sharing his birthday with George Frideric Handel, John started making music when Nirvana posters went up on every teenager's wall. It's this curious conflux of influences that partially helps to describe John's music. It's a world where the Germs jam with Jerry Goldsmith, Cabaret Voltaire relocate to Eternia and Josquin des Prez writes a new score for RoboCop. The confrontation of punk, the fleeting poignancy of 80s movie soundtracks, the insistent pulse of Moroder and the spirituality of Medieval and Baroque music all find salvation in John Maus. After a spell working alongside Ariel Pink and Gary War in Haunted Graffiti, 2006 saw the release of John's debut album proper through Upset The Rhythm.)

As a musician Eigner has contributed to hundreds of albums for various artists. Bamonte began working for Depeche Mode from the start of their career in 1980, taking on a varierty of roles before moving on in 1995 to work for The Cure for several years. The trio is completed by singer Florian Kraemmer. Kraemmer, like Eigner a native of Vienna, is the son of an actress and an opera singer, and took classical piano training from the age of eight. To date, he has worked mainly as a TV composer and has preserved his passion for classical music. The trio shares creative equality when they work on their songs. Daryl writes the lyrics, Florian develops the melodies and Christian puts together the powerful music that marks Compact Space with their own unmistakable style as soon as you listen to them. Compact Space has recently signed a worldwide licensing deal with Ferryhouse Productions in Hamburg. The first album "Nameless" and "Push Push" EP will be released simultaneously on 24th June 2011. The album was mixed by Paul 'P-Dub' Walton, and the aesthetics of Compact Space are also visually consistent: Danny Drysdale, who filmed among other things the Killers' hit "Human", made the video for "Push Push".)

www.iammynewt.com/
( ;D --> The sound of iammynewt is one of urgency and aggravation, chock full of ear-splitting synthesizer arrangements, desolate atmospheres, and head-churning beats. There is a deceptive simplicity to iammynewt's approach; stark, visceral, and rich in creativity. One is never overwhelmed, and yet one can get lost in the sonic maze)
Boom operator

( ;D --> Boom Operator achieves a sound that is at once catchy as it is daring in its nostalgic naivety. To what plains of musical exploration will Chris Cozort take listeners to next?")

Cut Copy

www.myspace.com/cutcopy  
( ;D --> Australian indie electronic trio Cut Copy take many of their cues from contemporaries like Air, Daft Punk, and LCD Soundsystem, but with a distinctly pop sensibility that draws on classic AM radio pop singles from the 1970s and '80s, with elements of vintage disco and synth pop. The delicate popsound of Cut Copy relates to a smoth mixture of artists like Prefab Sprout, The Egg, China Crises, The Human Leauge, New Order, Roxy Music and The Cure, all topped of with a spice of Swayzak. - Not Bad at all.. :) ).

Phutureprimitive
www.myspace.com/phutureprimitive  
www.phutureprimitive.com
( ;D --> Phutureprimitive is the refreshing musical creation of Oregon-based DJ/Producer, Rain. The Phutureprimitive sound is subterranean electronic tribalism, combining elements of organic downtempo, ethnic breaks, and sensual atmospherics. Ethereal vocals soar over dubbed-out basslines, and live percussion unfolds over odd time signatures creating a groove that is influenced by the synthetic textures of psychedelic trance as well as the kinetic grooves of world music.)
Kinetik
( ;D --> Esteemed Northwest producer Phutureprimitive is set to release his sophomore LP Kinetik this March via his own imprint, Native Harmonix. This long awaited album is his first full-length to follow up his iconic 2004 debut Sub Conscious. On Kinetik, Phutureprimitive explores a heavier, bass-centric sound that adds raw energy to the meticulously detailed tracks this trusted producer is so well known for. In support of this release, Phutureprimitive embarks on a 24-show tour across North America with fellow sonic mastermind Ott.)

Magdalena Solis
www.myspace.com/magdalenasolis
( ;D --> Magdalena Solis are a Belgian outfit providing hallucinatory-transcendental stuff in the vein of the Kosmische Musik, dark mooded, other-worldly but still pleasant in some way. The band name refers to a High Priestess of Blood acting in an obscure Mexican cult around the 1960’s. And in fact you might feel like getting a transfusion on some points when listening to this band. A first EP ‘Lady of the Wild Things’ was released early 2010 on Reverb Worship. Their new album “Hesperia” is now available on Dying For Bad Music.)

(Martin) Schmidt and Drew Daniel are the core members, but they frequently include other artists on their records and in their performances, including notably J Lesser.

The name Matmos refers to the seething lake of evil slime beneath the city Sogo in the 1968 film Barbarella.[citation needed] The name might also originate from Swedish, literally meaning "mashed food".)
