Hazylujah
www.hazylujah.com
( ;D --> Hazylujah. It’s immediately clear why Delsin sought him out. His tracks play with filtered, sci-fi synth motifs in a way that resembles more the general aesthetic of the label than any particular artist, combining an emphasis on ambience with loose, deeper techno structures.)
Too Many Ghosts
H_amazon
( ;D --> Delsin come correct with Hazylujah's strangely infectious 'Too Many Ghosts' debut. Much like the recent Xosar sessions, there's a genuinely unnerving and ethereal quality to Hazylujah's music; something abstract and unquantified which is really endearing to these ears at least. Leading out 'Hazylutrax' fixes a dark, stalking bassline to gremlin-like synth quirks, while 'Too Many Ghosts' is prone to dissolving the rhythm and reappearing at will amidst eerie acid tweaks and slanted synth dissonance. 'Dreams Logic' is markedly more sensual, in that drifty, track NWAQ style, a sound shared by the shimmering, dubbed surfaces of 'Minds Wired'.)

Perception Of Motion
( ;D --> Andy Verschaeren aka Max Cue is a producer and dj from Antwerp city, who's biggest influences are spread over eras and many different genres. (Thom Yorke, Serj Tankian, James Holden, Aaron Funk, Roisin Murphy, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Chinmaya Dunster, Laurent Garnier) He has been obsessed with music since the age of 12. Producing his first sounds with Fast Tracker at the age of 16, then developing his talent with Fruity Loops and later on using Ableton Live.
Spinning the wheels has been a passion for a long time now, starting with trance & techno, followed by a darker period with hardcore and breakcore, which resulted in his darker melancholic style as you already have heard.)

www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=41&threadid=57253
( ;D --> Redshape hides his real identity behind a red mask at all times, even wearing it onstage at his club dates around Europe, which of late there have been many. The man behind the mask lives in Berlin, he does a rocking live act and he’s released half a dozen tracks over the last year on labels such as Delsin, Styrax Leaves and Music Man. Rumours indicates that behind the mask might be the face of a very famous producer indeed.. One things for sure Redshape has studied a lot of Detroit techno records: His sound is a new update on old school templates.)

Akkord
http://boomkat.com/search?fields[]=artist&q=Akkord
( ;D --> Exclusive* Sterling debut release from the enigmatic Akkord collective based in the peripheries of Manchester. For now, the provenance of their identity will be on a need-to-know basis: their music will yield more than names could inform. These three tracks are a distillation of their passions for "minimalism, art, design, mathematics and sacred geometry", and aesthetically occupy darker ground in the shade of the Autonomic sound. Checking in with the spectral robo-ragga of 'The Drums' - sounding something like Burial meets dBridge - they shapeshift into rolling Electro-Ruffige a la Boddika on 'Renewal' catalysed by muscular, rippling arpeggios and pointillist percussions, while 'Back & Forth' engages with tensely constructed Electro-step hyperspace. We're sure you'll agree; it's a strong look.)

Scuba
www.myspace.com/paulhotflush
( ;D --> Scuba, aka Paul Rose, has been at the forefront of the dubstep scene since its birth. Having founded the innovative and influential Hotflush Recordings label in 2003, he has continually brought colour and depth to an advancing genre, expanding its sonic structure and increasing its influence on the wider electronic scene. Through Scuba and seminal work by central figures including Distance, Vex d and more recently Mount Kimbie and Joy Orbison, Hotflush remains crucial to the immediate moment and the developing future of the most exciting aspects of electronic music.)
Personality
S_amazon
( ;D --> Scuba's work has always been a bit dark, precise in the rhythms, conscious of overall atmosphere. This album see's a shift further towards a style of dub-tech that also draws on dub-house, psytrance, drum and bass, and even synthpop in some places.)

Since 2005 Dr.Nojoke has been working on technoid sound-sculptures based on his archive of self-made sound-and field-recordings. He defines a funky, minimal, quirky, experimental micro-cut-up-music, he calls Clikno.)

Solvent
www.myspace.com/solventcity
( ;D --> For over a decade, Jason Amm’s work as Solvent has neatly defied categorization. His music is too sweetly melodic for techno or acid, his compositions too fiendishly detailed for synth-pop. He was too steeped in the sounds of the ‘80s to participate in the incipient IDM scene; he was briefly lumped in with the short-lived electroclash movement, only to outlive it; he’s played “minimal wave” parties and goth clubs, indie-rock shows and techno all-nighters. But even as words fail in the face of Solvent’s music, its pleasures are anything but elusive.)

Új Látásmód Fúzió

http://soundcloud.com/ujlatasmodfuzio
( ;D --> Új Látásmód Fúzió - established in 1992 - is a cult-band in the obscure Hungarian Synth-Wave scene. In the early 90's they released a lot of raw trashy dadaistic cassette tapes. Their sound stretches from minimal synth-pop to a kind of absurd kitschy cabaret. The songs are with minimalistic soundscapes, gloomy melodies, special poetic lyrics and an ominous baritone voice - represented with charmed rigid expressions.)

Grimes
www.myspace.com/boucherville
www.grimesmusic.com
( ;D --> There is a powerful harmony in Grimes. It is a project which is both musical and visual, embodying the arts of 2D, performance, dance, video and sound. Claire Boucher weaves these together to a strong rhythmic effect, “the marriage between the voice of a human and the heartbeat of a machine. Each album tackles a different set of influences and styles. Her newest album, Visions, incorporates influences as wide as Enya, TLC and Aphex Twin, drawing from genres like New Jack Swing, IDM, New Age, K-pop, Industrial and glitch. This approach has marked Grimes as a curator of culture, and allowed the project to remain flexible and evolving. A phantasmic state for the deep listener, sourcing the long forgotten spells running alongside humans for centuries and forcing them through a hyper-futuristic filter. Compositional and vocal delivery are coloured with an emotional trauma. Despite a generally upbeat demeanour, an urgency permeates the music. Calling us between our history and the future it uses the pleasure of minimal rhythms and dance to entice, but beyond its rich, software-sculpted cohesiveness, and vocal energy, runs a very real and odd world.)

Mondkopf

( ;D --> Mondkopf is a French artist with a German name, which is fitting, given how often his productions play in a middle ground between those two countries' archetypal modes of electronic music. Looked at a certain way, Rising Doom, the 24-year old's latest full-length and first for Fool House, the label imprint of French fashion/mp3 blog Fluokids, borrows the machine muscle of harsh Teutonic techno and leavens it with just a bit of the joviality and melody of French touch.)

( ;D --> Entering the digital compression chamber of 'Submission' you become a willing participant, before the lights are cut and you're forced to adjust to the humid atmosphere and bruising, muscle-contracting darkroom throb of 'Posers'. Suitably initiated, the EP's fearless centrepiece 'Bad Wires' plunges into full on mud-party mode, dropping the tempo while intensifying the kinaesthetic funk with slow, clusterf*cked syncopation until you're drowning in synthesized oil and crushed-glass textures.)

( ;D --> Momentform is a Paris-based project, active since 2010. Mostly influenced by late 70s / early 80s minimal synth and new generation innovators like Martial Canterel, the band’s sounds and ethics also reveal strong post-punk influences. A disenchanted, singular vision of modernism stretches across its work, ultimately justifying the musical language at use - a combination of layered synthesizers, detuned leads and bass guitar.)

Louderbach

( ;D -->In a landscape of abundance we’ve walled our senses behind sugary convenience. With luxury a click away the growing emphasis on the sugar fix has slowly rotted our teeth. The rot has left us doing more with less, just a few incisors to do the job of a full mouth. With the bells and whistles stripped away we can appreciate the simplicity of motion and space working together. The simplicity of Louderbach embodies this relationship. The focus on the single line or simple structure is retraining the eye to see, teaching the ear to hear again. The bells and whistles of our saturated world have taken the focus off the direct, we’ve lost the beauty of simplicity; the depth of repetition.)

Lopatin's music is composed and performed primarily on vintage synthesizers, and has been described as drone or ambient music, gentle eddies of sound, and like a cracked mirror refracting the sounds of the past.)

Throughout the duration of every track, the listener finds him/herself being bombarded by unusual and unique percussion's that differ through their aggressiveness and military cadence. On Wikipedia we find the explanation of the term: Triarii were spear-men in the armies of the early Roman Republic. They were oldest and among the wealthiest men in the army. The music expressed by this German project (based in Berlin) matches the description; it is anthem like, warrior like through concept and through message.)

( ;D --> Gonjasufi (born Sumach Ecks, aka Sumach Valentine, c.1978) is a rapper, singer, disc jockey and yoga teacher from San Diego, California and currently living in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ecks was born to a Mexican mother and an American-Ethiopian father. He has been releasing music since the early 1990s among the San Diego Hip Hop scene, notably with the Masters of the Universe crew. Ecks gained notice from Warp Records in 2008 after an appearance on Californian musician Flying Lotus' album Los Angeles, where he sings on the track "Testament". His Warp debut album, A Sufi and a Killer was released on March 8, 2010. Ecks' voice was described by Pitchfork Media as "a scraggly, scary, smoked-out croak that creeps like the spiritual offspring of George Clinton and Leadbelly". He attributes his singing voice to his day job teaching yoga when he had to "to project from my stomach more".)

Inspired by the sounds and visions of forgotten sci-fi film scores, fantasy games and arcade imagery, Gatekeeper has created its own morbidly deranged discotheque, a vivid flight of fancy in which the conventions of techno, Chicago house, italo-disco and industrial are transfigured into one phantasmagorical adventure, populated by hushed screams, Gregorian dungeon chants and cinematic washes of mammoth sound.)

Carter Tutti / Chris and Cosey
www.chrisandcosey.com
( ;D --> Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti formed CHRIS & COSEY out of the ashes of their seminal 70s' Industrial band Throbbing Gristle. Throbbing Gristle (and Carter/Tutti) founded the Industrial music genre and were one of the first bands to successfully fuse electronic and acoustic instrumentation. Their musical legacy is still very much in evidence today. When Throbbing Gristle was terminated in 1981 Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti signed to Rough Trade Records and began recording and performing as CHRIS & COSEY. From the very start they indulgently utilised electronics, sampling, rhythms and Cosey's distinctive vocals, cornet and guitar style. In 1982 (and in collaboration with Rough Trade) they formed their own offshoot record label Conspiracy International (aka: CTI) for their more experimental recordings and collaborative projects. CTI continues to run alongside CARTER and TUTTI's more accessible work.)

( ;D --> Mute are pleased to announce the release of CARTER TUTTI VOID's Transverse, a unique collaboration from Chris Carter & Cosey Fanni Tutti (Throbbing Gristle) and Nik Void (Factory Floor), out on vinyl, CD and download on 26 March 2012. Transverse is a unique collaboration, created especially for the legendary Short Circuit presents Mute festival at the Roundhouse, London in 2011. The tracks were prepared in the studio and then performed and recorded live in front of an audience. Outside of the trio, these recordings were unheard prior to the festival and the popularity of the performance left many being turned away at the door. Mute is proud to make this ground breaking recording available and to be working again with two of electronic music's true pioneers and one of its new trail blazers. Said The Quietus of the performance: "…a warm embrace, creating a deep connection… Carter at the back manipulates the electronics while on either flank, Void scratches noise with bowed guitar and Tutti plays while singing vocals that she mangles and distorts… there is no nihilism in this noise, nothing but a deep and wonderful sense of love.")
