 Blue Vitriol |
Located
in the San Francisco Bay Area, Blue Vitriol's Josh S. and Jacob Z. have
been making music together for the better part of a decade. They have
explored many styles, always trying to coax new sounds from out of the
digital ether. Some of their work can be downloaded from Project168
or Jahtari,
and they don't hesitate to get involved in collaborative projects such
as the Exquisite Corpse. |
 choenyi |
Full-time medical transcriptionist and spare-time musician, choenyi has already made himself quite a reputation on respected netlabels such as Yuki Yaki, Random Access Recordings, Miniatura, Kreislauf and Underlabel. He started DJing in 1996 and began recording electronic textures in 1999. His early works were based on psychoacoustic theory and inspired by the likes of Hudak and Wollscheid amongst others. Years later came more beat-oriented tracks, often reincorporating the older works, resulting in a fine combination of experimental textures and dancefloor elements. |
 CK Two |
CK Two is a German artist producing dancefloor
techno with an experimental edge. After releasing an excellent ep
on Cupido
Records, he offers us his Sub Noises EP
in which the efficiency of the beats contrasts with the coldness of
twisted audio textures. Influenced by Depeche Mode, Rechenzentrum,
Scorn as well as the cream of the minimal scene, he multiplies
releases, and we are really looking forward to hearing his upcoming
appearances on Insectorama et Idealtechno
netlabels. |
 cZarneKci |
"Saint Gilles, November 2004 I wanted to be a rockstar, make love with Jane Birkin, burn my guitars and refuse to play the Olympia... and here I am, alone in front of my screen, trying to make my MIDI playback sound right. Damn, I move, cut, destroy and interleave all those blocks of sound that crawl, suffer and express themselves: a real mess. From now on, cZarneKci is not a crisps brand. It is this very mess that I attempt to organise. No sweat, no cocaine... just DIY-audio." |
 Equipo |

he creates the artistic collective Dpendiente and works
on lots
of
musical projects such as Equipo, Pikap, Auditorio & Beagle. After a number of excellent releases on Pueblonuevo, Equipo offers us a brilliant EP combining minimal organic beats and subtle melodies. A pleasant trip through electronica, dub and ambient territories. |
 Etruscan |
Etruscan aka Ben Cummings is based in Manchester,
UK, and produces IDM, breakcore, breakbeat, illbient, and experimental
music. He is greatly inspired by electronic artists such as Aphex Twin, Venetian Snares, Richard Devine, Shitmat, Scorn and Techno Animal, as well as dark and abrasive music in general including black metal and grindcore. His music is dark in atmosphere, and he enjoys breakbeat butchery as well as creating precise, abstract rhythmical sounds. |
 Humeka |
"...nothing is less sure than the result. I've never been able to say I want to end up there. On the other hand I can say what I like or what I dislike. So when I leave, my tastes are marking out the way. What you finally hear is nothing else than a pile of sounds I like, harmonies fitting each other, according to my tastes of course. So what am I really? A selector? A composer? Strangely enough, I regularly end up asking myself if the music is coming from me or through me. Do you know?" |
 Inodore |
Inodore is a young French artist from Orleans producing experimental electronica with both powerful and complex rhythms and fresh melodies. He attempts to break free of style constraints and only follows his creative impulses. |
 James Taylor |
James Taylor is half of the British duo Swayzak,
responsible for 5 albums of deep and groovy minimal sound. He
also
produces music on his own, and released his first solo album "Carthage
Milk" in 2005. |
 Kaneda |
Kaneda
is a French artist producing electronic music under a number
of
different aliases such as KND, Kaneda aka Tetsuoka, Ernest Shakleton
Big Band
Orchestra, Moineau... Besides his addiction to the good old MC303, he samples nearly anything at hand and creates music out of all the everyday things one normally never pays attention to. Kaneda has a generous conception of music and regularly gets involved in collective projects in which he can share his sound with like-minded artists. |
 Molair |
Molair is a laptop duet from Lille composed of
Laurent Bernonville and Thierry Mbaye. Known under the moniker of Bern
with his releases on Traum, Trapez
limited, and Toys for Boys, but also a number
of netreleases on Sinergy Networks or Thinner,
Laurent Bernonville is researching more experimental perspectives with
Thierry Mbaye. Whatever we call it, the Molair's music feeds itself from design, architecture, digital environnement, and an ancestral pulsation, probably due to Thierry Mbaye's Gabonese origins. |
 Nurb |
Nurb
has been part of several bands that produced hybrid sounds by combining
conventional instruments and electronic textures. Today he creates
music which is mainly electronic, sometimes complex, sometimes raw, and
he refuses to stick to any style in particular. This way, he tries to
establish a state of perpetual renewal, and the resulting imbalance
enables him to keep working spontaneously, often relying on errors and
toying with the unexpected. |
 Phortran |
Phortran
is Tom Dinchak
from Phoenix, Arizona, a self taught bedroom musician specializing in
idm-foolery and jazzy ambience. For the better half of his life and
under a number of aliases, he has been manipulating computers
and electronic devices to create uniquely fresh sound experiences. With a number of internet releases and a full length on ivdt, not to mention the netlabel he maintains, local shows he performs at and helps organize, real-time visuals he creates, software and websites he authors, electronic devices he modifies, day job he inconspicuously attends, and social life he tries to maintain, Phortran is definitely a busy man. |
 Salenico |
Nicolas Godeau aka Salenico is a sound designer.
He is also the man behind the machines in the the electro liveact
Katalog. |
