( ;D --> Best known for his collaborations with Kanye West on two standout tracks from the groundbreaking Yeezus (‘Send It Up’ and ‘Black Skinhead’) as well as high profile remixes for Lana Del Rey and Depeche Mode, Paris-based DJ/producer Gesaffelstein’s solo work reconnects hard techno to its pounding industrial roots. After earning all manner of acclaim for early EP releases, Gesaffelstein's monstrous recent track ‘Pursuit’ was released by The Vinyl Factory as a beautiful collectors edition with clear vinyl. Its accompanying video has been watched over 1.5 million times. Gesaffelstein's follow up single, the menacing 'Hate or Glory', was similarly seismic in its impact on dancefloors and across the worldwide web. Now comes his eagerly awaited debut LP, a mesmerizing combination of dark techno, industrial menace and elegiac electronic soundscapes that seems certain to catapult Gesaffelstein into the stratosphere and register Aleph as the breakthrough album of the year. It is, without doubt, one of the best of 2013.)

( ;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.

Nearly every release since then has explored different fields, from industrial to ambient, from experimental to trip-hop.
