bigMAMA präsentiert: Dirty Beaches [ Zoo Music / CA ]
Support: Aiko Aiko[Wien]
Manchmal reicht es eben gerade noch, die letzte Abfahrt zu erwischen.
Alex Zhang Hungtai war gerade 30, schlug sich mit Gelegenheitsjobs herum hatte unter dem Namen Dirty Beaches wieder einmal ein Album veröffentlicht.
Während der Gedanke, die Musik für ein besseres Leben doch noch aufzugeben, im Kopf des in Taiwan geborenen Künstlers immer lauter wurde,
katapultierte ihn seine neue LP Badlands aber plötzlich in das Aufmerksamkeitsfeld der internationalen Musikszene.
Zu groß war die Wirkkraft von Hungtais samplefreudigen Lo-Fi Rock 'n' Roll, der Rockabilly und No Wave zu vereinen vermochte,
zu intensiv die Anziehung dieses enigmatischen Elvis der Düsternis und Melancholie, der das alles interpretierte,
um erneut ignoriert zu werden. Nun, zwei Jahre später, meldet er sich mit dem eindringlichen Doppelalbum Drifters / Love Is The Devil zurück. (Spex)

bigMAMA & RDMH pres. SENSATIONAL meets KOYXEN
"Outstanding Outsider Operation Tour"
Cheever aka Nobody, M.A.R.S. & Fontarrian [ RDMH ]
Simon/off & B.L.O. [ disko404 ]
SENSATIONAL:
Once in an eternity an artist will come along who defies all explanations, breaks all boundaries, and destroys all preconceived notions as to what music is. In reggae,
we were blessed with the maniacal genius of Lee Perry; in jazz, we had Sun Ra; and in hip-hop no one even comes close to the one they call Sensational.
Hip-hop abounds with eccentric personalities such as Kool Keith, Old Dirty Bastard (R.I.P.), and Busta Rhymes,
but Sensational trumps even these colorful MCs with an abstract flavor and a charm all his own. Born into the world of beats as Torture,
a name perfectly befitting his dusted productions and not-ready-for-prime-time style, Sens linked up with the world-famous Jungle Brothers when he was only 15.
Starting off as a back-up dancer , he went on to prove his mettle on the mic, rhyming to records by the German avant-garde electronic composer, Stockhausen. In fact,
Torture's legendary performances on the Jungle Brothers' album JBeez Wit Da Remedy (Warner Bros., 1994), on which he rhymes at 180 beats per minute,
are still way ahead of their time. (They may be heard on the Black Hoodz release, Crazy Wisdom Masters (BH006).
In 1995, Torture came to the attention of WordSound through producer Bill Laswell, who had worked on the Jungle Brothers sessions.
It was a match made in heaven as Torture changed his name to Sensational and released his solo debut, Loaded With Power (WSCD022),
an album like no other in the annals of hip-hop. CMJ called it, "The most bold and experimental hip-hop record of the last decade,"
but even this is an understatement. The tripped-out flows, broken beats,
and lo-fi ambience all created an epic event in hip-hop that went largely unnoticed by the Puff Daddy-worshipping masses.
And to think, it was all created by one man with a four-track, drum machine, and, of course, headphones used as a mic.
Unlike most rap producers, Sensational has never been one to sample, but plays all his sounds live.
Upgrading to an 8-track for his sophomore effort, Corner The Market (WSCD032), gave the rapper/producer greater flexibility in recording.
He also used a real microphone this time around instead of recording vocals through his headphones.
Still wowing heads with his blunted, poetry-in-motion sickness, he released two singles for the popular indie rock label Matador ("Party Jumpin" and "Beats, Rhymes & Styles")
before dropping his third full-length, Heavyweighter (WSCD037) which continues on a trajectory for outer space. As Timeout NY noted,
Sensational is "underground hip-hop's number one upstart-in-waiting."
Sensational's unique style and personality have been showcased in the semi-biographical film Crooked (WSCD041), released by WordSound in 2001.
The film, which documents the underground hip-hop scene in Brooklyn in the '90s, became an instant cult classic and is available on DVD along with its companion soundtrack,
produced largely by Sensational.
During the filming of Crooked, Sensational recorded Get on My Page for Mike Patton's Ipecac label, before returning to WordSound for his fifth release,
Natural Shine (WSCD044), produced and recorded by DJ KLOS. KLOS also produced the follow-up, Speaks For Itself, available on Belgium's Quatermass label,
as well as the new mixtape, The Best of Sensational (WSDD002) available as a download only on WordSound Digital.
Sensational's latest CD, Sensational Meets Kouhei (WSCD53), is a collaboration with Japan's doyen of noisecore, Kouhei Matsunaga,
recorded in one day in Osaka, Japan while on tour in 2005.
KOYXEN:
Born in Osaka, Kouhei Matsunaga is a musician and an illustrator. He started drawing during childhood under the influence of his grandfather.
He grew up listening to hardcore-techno and hip hop, studied architecture and has been mainly making music since 1992. Under many different aliases
(NHK, NHKyx, Internet Magic, Koyxen) he has released numerous albums on labels such as Skam Records, Wordsound, Raster Noton and his first ever album "Upside Down"
on Mille Plateaux in 1998. He has also collaborated with artists like Merzbow, Jungle Brothers' Sensational, Autechre's Sean Booth, Mika Vainio, Conrad Schnitzler,
Anti Pop Consorium's High Priest, Rudolf Eb.er, Puppetmastaz crew, Asmus Tietchens, Ralf 'RLW' Wehowsky and so on. His own label Flying Swimming was founded in 2002
with the main purpose being to publish and curate events of experimental contemporary music and art.
He will present his recent PAN release 'Dance Classics Vol.I' which documents his more dance oriented material,
as seen from his sets with Sensational and also his other minimal techno project NHK.

disko404 ®
SHED [ 50Weapons, Ostgut Ton | Berlin ]
Slack Hippy [ FM4 | Wien ]
feelipa & doze [ disko404 ]
SHED ♥ is a man of action, a living example how to reinvent oneself again and again within the boundaries of electronic music.
At the same time, Shed does not follow shallow trends. The Berlin-based producer firmly believes in the power of techno music.
When techno was invented, Shed was not present. Born in 1975 in Frankfurt/Oder in the former GDR, he was simply too young.
And also too far away from where techno was happening. As it turns out, being afar from epicentres like Berlin or Frankfurt/Main, was a blessing.
Listening to the radio, Shed could absorb all kinds of music, styles and genres without being aware of the music's point of origin,
the fighting and the bitching between various cities, crews and labels. Music is music. This is not only still true,
but was at the time the most famous quote from Monika Dietl. She was the first DJ who played techno on the radio in Berlin.
Like no one else, she was in this for new music only and perfectly ignored the past. She did not play cheesy disco classics,
but focused on new tunes from Chicago and Detroit, celebrated local scenes like the Netherlands and, most importantly,
played music from the UK. Shed was hooked instantly.

bigMAMA pres:
Otto von Schirach [Monkeytown, Ipecac / US]
mit neuem Album:SUPERMENG live in Graz
Koenigleopold [Jazzwerkstatt Records / AT]
Support: disko404 DJs
Hört man Otto von Schirachs bass heavy Tracks, ist seine Heimatstadt nicht schwer zu erraten. Egal ob Miami Bass, Gangsta Rap, Grindcore und afrokubanische Musik:
Der Sound aus Miami ist allgegenwärtig – so auch auf seinem Debütalbum 8000 B.C., das 2001 auf dem IDM-Label Schematic erschien. Es folgten zahlreiche Live-Shows und
Studio-Produktionen, auf denen er eine zunehmend düstere Ästhetik entwickelte, die in horrorinspirierten Alben wie Chopped Zombie Fungus (2003) und Global Speaker Fisting (2004)
gipfelte. Im Jahr darauf schickte er Mike Patton eine CDR mit 38 Songs. Die Avantgarde- und Metallegende bastelte daraus das Album Maxipad Detention,
das auf seinem Label Ipecac erschien. 2009 veröffentlichte Schirach das außerirdisch klingende Werk Magic Triangle,
und 2012 Supermeng auf Monkeytown welches er nun in Graz prüsentieren wird.
www.ottovonschirach.com
There’s a new King in town. The young Vienna duo Koenigleopold, consisting of Lukas Künig and Leo Riegler,
is the inventor and sole proprietor of a highly original musical-theatrical style, a show that veers from virtuosic exultation to comedy to embarrassment,
often in the course of a single piece. They've also got a hell of a wardrobe.
Lukas Künig’s drum and synth work is built on the best beats of the last fifty years - dismantled,
reassembled and played at full volume on an ancient turntable sitting in a junkyard on the slope of an active volcano.
We now pause for a natural disaster. Leo Riegler is by turns a pimp, a dada MC, a gifted turntablist,
a hopeless but convincing opera singer and a back-alley clarinetist . . . and a consummate showman throughout.
The music is a rollercoaster mixture of dirty hip-hop, rock and roll and weird takes on bubblegum pop punctuated by pure noise improvisations,
played with high precision and a strange, fierce intensity that becomes positively unsettling when coupled with, say, the sounds of Darth Vader enjoying a nice steak
(which can happen). It’s almost like they’re hearing voices on stage - but whether it’s the ghosts of Zappa and Biggie Smalls they’re channeling,
the complete works of Monty Python in Cantonese or a doll that just says ”Mama!” over and over again - the results are dangerously grooving and completely unique.
When koenigleopold is holding court it’s best to pay attention.

bigMAMA pres. JULIA HOLTER
Julia Holter live [Rvng Intl / US]
Support: floze & zvonko [disko404]
Das Harmonium dröhnt, ein Cello raunt, die Drumbox pluckert: Julia Holter variiert dazu Zeilen der antiken griechischen Dichterin Sappho.
Die 27-jährige kalifornische Musikerin Julia Holter beschwört die Geister der Antike mit sympathisch-schrulligem Heimwerkerinnen-Pop
im Geiste Laurie Andersons.
(Christian Schachinger, DER STANDARD, 30.3.2012)
Julia Shammas Holter is a classically-trained keytarist from Echo Park. After infiltrating Human Ear Music headquarters dressed as an intern,
she wrote and recorded her own release on the label. Her music is witty, surreal and optimistic.
She plays without sarcasm in the terrains that divide sentimentality, passion, and control. Her songs are written instinctively,
and treated with an off-kilter fastidiousness, working orchestral variety from minimal instrumentation.
Julia has an unusual fascination with thought and art of the middle ages. Arcane poetry and mystical saints adorn her music,
as well as her faux-naif take on medieval figurative art. Julia has performed with Super Creep band, Ariel Pink and Human Ear Music at the
American Apparel Mystery House. She also composes and performs for an ensemble of Indian hand-pumped harmoniums.

Addison Groove
Formerly know as Headhunter, this bristol resident is considered by many to made one of 2010s biggest tunes.
Hailing from the south west, this producer built up a strong following under his Headhunter monica.
A string of releases and an album on Tempa helped this producers rise to fame.
2010 saw a change in name, change in sound and change of label for Headhunter.
Taking influence from the 808 and vocal samples of Juke, Headhunter became Addison Groove.
His first release �Footcrab� was on Loefah�s new label Swamp 81.
The single went on to tear up clubs all over the UK and receive air play from Benji B.

bigMAMA präsentiert: Spokes
Mit dem Debut Album Everyone I Ever Met on Tour!!!
Euphoric, heartfelt and utterly beautiful, Spokes present Everyone I Ever Met,
their first album for Counter Records. Effortlessly blending together elements of shoegaze, folk, post-rock
and much more, its bittersweet joyfulness will purge your system of cynicism for weeks.
Spokes [Ninja Tune / UK]
Over At The Stars live [Wien]
und disko404 [DJs]
Spokes sind eine junge Band aus Preston bei Manchester,
die seit 2006 zusammen musiziert. Ihr People Like People Like You EP von 2008 haben sie
damals noch selbst veröffentlicht, nun greift ihnen Counter Records, unter die Arme.
Im Falle von Spokes ist die Vokabel auch durchaus angebracht, denn die Jungs versuchen
ihren ganz eigenen Stil zu prägen und sind dabei alles andere als eintönig.
Der Musikstil von Spokes ist eine Mischung aus Post-Rock mit einigen vermischten Elementen des Folk,
Pop und Rock. Aber eine Schublade aufzumachen und die Briten dort hinein zu schieben, wäre nicht angebracht.
Dennoch überzeugt das Album durch Abwechslung, stilsichere Stilwechsel und offenhörbarem musikalischem Talent.
Man darf zu Recht sagen: Die Spokes gehören zu den spannendesten Newcomer 2011.
Over at the stars haben ihre Jugendtage dort verbracht, wo nie wer hinkommt.
Jahre später sind sie einander in Wien begegnet und haben begonnen, zusammen Musik zu machen.
Derzeit unterwegs durch Indietronic- und Experimentalgefilde, wei� kein Mensch, wohin es geht.
Am besten dorthin, wo noch nie wer war.

Jam City
Jam City discovered Grime around 2003 which changed his perception of music. It sounded totally alien
and experimental whilst still having a direct energy at club level.
He then found out about Chicago Trax Records and pretty much wanted to live inside the Trax cover
of a Chicago sunset. A couple of years after that he started making his own tracks and edits, the rest is Jam City.
Jam City makes romantic grimey house for the club or the jeep or a walk through a waterpark at night.

Jacques Greene
There's not much we can say about this 20 year old house producer from Montreal except that his music is incredible and it's sort of taken over our
studio environment in the last months since his then anonymous demo arrived in our inbox. What time will tell is that
this guy isn't a stranger to LuckyMe at all, but a good friend of ours for a few years simply growing into some new tastes.
But look, I've said too much already. With his first 12”, Baby (I Don't Know What You Want), dropping via our peoples at Night Slugs any time soon,
you can catch The Look, a 4 track 12” EP debut by Jacques Greene on LuckyMe this November. Get to know him.
A legit young house producer brimming with ideas and deep, deep taste for techno, rnb, ukf and chicago house.

Melodien für Millionen
das ist ein Anliegen und zugleich ein etwas schwieriges Unterfangen. Denn bei der Zusammenstellung des Programms gibt es
keine genauen Ma�stäbe, keine festen Grenzen oder präzisen Definitionen, nach denen wir uns richten.
Von Millionen Menschen hat jeder seinen eigenen Geschmack. Es kommt natürlich der Umstand zu Hilfe, dass manche
Melodie und manches musikalische Arrangement die verschiedenen Geschmäcker vieler Menschen zufrieden stellt....

The Clonious
setzt zwar in erster Linie auf die Kombination aus elektronischer Musik und Hip-Hop, doch wird in dem verschachtelten und gleichzeitig
autonomen Zusammenspiel von Melodie und Rhythmus auch Paul Movahedis Liebe zum Jazz der 50er- und 60er-Jahre deutlich.
Die Qualitäten dieses Soundkosmos konnte er unter anderem während der Red Bull Music Academy 2007 unter Beweis stellen, als er die
Bühne mit Szenegrö�en wie Theo Parrish, Tony Allen, Ron Trent, Steve Spacek und Waajeed teilte. Im Sommer 2009 wurde seine EP Adroit
Adventures auf dem in San Francisco ansässigen Label Ubiquity Records veröffentlicht. Sein Debüt-Album Between the Dots lie� nicht
lange auf sich warten und erschien vergangenes Jahr bei Ubiquity.

und der Mainstream-Presse mit seinem Debutalbum "Flying Objects, they don`t have a brain..." (wird von der Musikredaktion der Zeitung
"Der Standard" unter die drei hörenswerten österreichischen Musikproduktionen 2005 gewählt). seine Bühnenauftritte wurden
früher allgemein als "anarchistisch und polarisierend" beschrieben. während der Arbeit an seinem letzen Album "Escaping Dystopia"
(SeaYou Records, 2009) ändert Sir Tralala seinen Stil in einen weniger psychedelischen und obwohl das elektronische Sounddesign
weiterhin eine wichtige Rolle spielt verwendet er vermehrt herkömmliche Musikinstrumente. Auf dem Album finden sich auch mehr
herkömmliche Songwriting und Kompositionsstrukturen und es machen sich die verschiedensten popkulturellen Einflüsse bemerkbar,
selbst Vergleiche mit Hollywood Filmmusik wurden gezogen. neben seiner Identität als Sir Tralala verbringt der Künstler seine Zeit

DJ und veranstaltet einen eigenen Club in Wien.

Sex Jams
Gegründet im Sommer 2008 in Wien, namentlich Referenz an "Milemarker" und "songs that a guy and a girl will get turned on by",
sind SEX JAMS eine musikalische NOISEPOP!? Reminiszenz an alles was in den späten 80er und frühen 90er Jahren gut und !GEFÄHRLICH! war
(So, als wäre die ganze Zeit nichts gewesen). Coole Langeweile/Agilität/Weltverdruss/Aufbegehren und mit dem Herzen beheimatet in einem
schönen und lauten NEW-NEW YORK. Wunderbarst verlärmt, latent - tanzbar, schroff - ohrwurmtauglich, nervig und avantgardistisch, sind Sex Jams
deine neue Lieblingsband.

Ben UFO has established himself as one of the most creative DJs in dubstep, attempting to highlight the connections which link the development of dubstep
to grime and uk garage, through rapid, blend oriented mixing. His sets strike a balance between paying tribute to the heritage of
London-based dance music whilst simultaneously exploring areas of its potential future, an aim which goes hand in hand with his role as co-founder of the label Hessle Audio,
which he runs with the respected producers Ramadanman and Pangaea. Their weekly radio show on SubFM has become renowned both for its ambitiously diverse music
policy and for showcasing the freshest forthcoming material.

High Places
Mit neuem Album auf Tour & live in Graz!
Was entsteht, wenn eine Fagottistin und ein Punkfan in Brooklyn, New York gemeinsame Sache machen, zeigen Mary Pearson und Rob Barber.
Seit 2006 musizieren beide unter dem Namen High Places, stets auf der Suche nach Miniaturen irgendwo zwischen psychedelischer Elektronik und futuristischem Folk.
High Places Biographie:
Im Herbst 2008 erschien das selbstbetitelte, von Mary und Rob in der eigenen Wohnung eingespielte erste Album auf dem Label Thrill Jockey.
Gute Kritiken ließen nicht auf sich warten: So lobte die taz den "einlullenden Flow", der den Genuss des Debüts so kurzweilig mache,
und brachte die Musik des Duos auf die Formel "Wiegenlieder für Aufgeweckte". Die Spex wiederum wähnte von "Geräuschmusik" und subsumierte die High Places
zusammen mit Gang Gang Dance unter dem Label "Weirdness made in Brooklyn".
In der Tat entspringt der verschachtelte, aus diversen Quellen gespeiste Sound der High Places einer Experimentierfreude, die der von Gang Gang Dance verwandt ist.
Beide Acts bewegen sich zudem im fruchtbaren Spannungsfeld zwischen Kunst und Pop. Rob unterrichtete zuvor unter anderem an einer Kunstschule Lithographie.
Große Gesten liegen Pearson und Barber fern, dafür sind die Soundgebilde der beiden letztlich zu verhalten.
Ihr Instrumentarium reicht vom Banjo über die zwölfseitige Gitarre bis zu Töpfen, Schüsseln und Plastiktüten.
Selbst vor dem Einsatz eines Schneebesens schreckt das
gemischtgeschlechtliche Duo nicht zurück. Marys gedämpfter Gesang wird dabei stets von Robs polyrhythmischen Beats umspült.
In den Texten zeigt sich das Duo von seiner naturliebenden Seite: "The ocean is your god-self", heißt es etwa in "Gold Coin".
Für Rob sind High Places übrigens ganz simpel "scrapbook pop". Sammelalbum-Pop, nur dass man keine Briefmarken, sondern Klänge sammelt.
Da kann es schon mal passieren, dass sich New Yorker Straßenlärm in eine Aufnahme verirrt. Das alles verdichten die Brooklyner zu einer hypnotischen
wie vielschichtigen Collage, die sie auch live zu rekonstruieren suchen.
Während Mary auf der Bühne mit teils verfremdeter Stimme singt und den ein oder anderen Loop hervorzaubert, macht sich Rob mit Verve an den Drum Pads zu schaffen.
Dem Fact Magazine erklärt der Multiinstrumentalist, dass der Bandname daher rühre, dass er sich an hochgelegenen Orten am sichersten fühle.
Im April diesen Jahres erscheint ihr neues Album "High Places vs Mankind" auf Thrill Jockey.

BOK BOK (Night Slugs / UK)
2010 sees 24 year old DJ/producer Bok Bok stand amongst London's underground music elite. His sound is unique and ever evolving, quintessentially UK but also alien -
a grimy futuristic house / space crunk.
As a DJ, Bok Bok has been stacking riddims like Lego bricks since 2004. His roots lie deep in the UK Grime sound. Grime productions obliterated the rulebook, broke club music
down to its rawest elements and rebuilt it into insane new forms. Unorthodox in every way, that music set off Bok Bok down a unique path. Since then he has spread
his sights much wider, taking in elements of gutter styles from around the globe, all of which share a certain off-the-wall bass-heavy vibe. Disregarding purism
he instead hunts all over for fresh dubplates.
QUOTES:
"If there's a more hyped crew than Night Slugs in London then someone in PR is going to be winning awards soon. Building on their long running night, Night Slugs has
developed from the club brainchild of blogger/DJs Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990 to a label that mixes UK funky, classic grime, and imported U.S. house and juke. The label's first
release comes from Mosca but after this incredible mix on Bok Bok's blog, it's the Jam City 12" "Ecstasy remix" that will be one of the releases of the year.
Bok Bok's "Citizens Dub" [ft. Bubbz], due out on Brackles' Blunted Robots, finds the midpoint between woozy grime and UK house.
Expect to hear more from Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990 now they've joined the Rinse FM lineup."

House, Broken Beat und Soca bedient. In England beschrieb der Guardian UK Funky als "probably the most exciting development in UK music since garage became grime."

Mit majestätischen Lärmwänden und einer ausgeprägten Sensibilität für laut / leise - Dynamik kommen Mono
mit ihrem fünften Studioalbum
"Hymn to the Immortal Wind"
erneut auf Tour. Aufgenommen wurde es vom legendären Produzenten Steve Albini (Nirvana, Neurosis...), der es vermag, die gewaltigen Live-Performances
der Band auf Tonträger zu konservieren. Mono lassen Lieder in Harmonie explodieren.
Mono Biographie:
http://www.laut.de/biographie
http://de.wikipedia.org/mono
Jeremy deVine _Temporary Residence Limited:
"Just in time for their 10-year anniversary, MONO return with their fifth studio album, the absolutely massive Hymn To The Immortal Wind.
After touring almost non-stop for five years, the band hibernated for over a year to focus solely on writing Hymn.
The result is their most thoughtful and eclectic album to date. Written and arranged with a hopeful, romantic narrative in mind,
the songs string together like chapters in an epic love story. The music is naturally majestic,
with MONO's trademark wall of noise crashing beautifully against the largest chamber orchestra the band has ever enlisted. The instrumentation is vast,
incorporating strings, flutes, organ, piano, glockenspiel and tympani into their standard face-melting set-up.
Recorded to analog tape with long-time friend and producer Steve Albini, there is an intimacy captured here that is at once beautiful and a little terrifying.
The creaking of old wooden chairs as the orchestra rocks in their seats (both literally and figuratively), puckered lips rolling along flutes,
and even the conductor's opening cue can be heard during the hauntingly quiet opening moments.
While Hymn continues to mine the cinematic drama inherent in all of MONO's music, the dynamic shifts now come more from dark-to-light instead of quiet-to-loud.
The maturity to balance these elements so masterfully has become MONO's strongest virtue."

Hella Comet Biographie:
"Hell, a comet!", schreit der hinter dem felsen schlafende. wir blicken auf und in dem augenblick hören wir ihn heranrauschen. sein dröhnen schwillt an,
die bltäter der bäume um uns zischeln und der wind bekommt eine stimme. er zerrt an uns und haucht uns worte ins ohr. die erde unter unseren füssen
beginnt zu beben.
es brodelt, alles bröselt, strukturen lösen sich auf bis wir eins sind mit dem alles in sich einsaugenden krach. plötzlich ohrenbetäubende stille.
Dann schlägt er ein.
die druckwelle pumpt uns grooves ins gesicht, die sich mit dem rauschen in unseren ohren zu musik vereinen. Musik? wir öffnen unsere augen,
stehen auf und werfen den tonarm erneut auf's vinyl. diese Sonic Youth scheibe wollen wir nämlich gleich noch einmal hören. was? das war gar nicht Neurosis? wer?
Hella Comet? yes!

Kira Kira
Ein selten berechenbarer Dialog zwischen elektroakkustischer Trolligkeit und einer Linie unschuldiger Popmelodie. Schwärme zersplitterter Stimmen.
Melodien, verursacht durch home made Mikrofone. Schön verwirrend und verwundbar alles. Glücklicherweise holt uns das Glockenspiel und ein Casio
an den richtigen Stellen zurück und erinnert uns daran, dass eigentlich alles soweit okay ist.
Immer mal wieder unter Mithilfe Folgender:
Alex Somers (Parachutes), Samuli Kosminen (Múm, Kimmo Pohjonen), Eiríkur Orri Ólafsson (Múm, Benni Hemm Hemm), Hilmar Jensson
(No Axis) und Gitarrist Pétur Hallgrímsson. Bereits seit 1999 ist Kira Kira ein konstant zu definierendes Rätsel.
Gründungsmitglied bei Kitchen Motors, einem isländischen Art Kollektiv. Als Künstlerin, Kuratorin und Kollaboratorin hat Kira Kira
mit Múm, Slowblow und dem Komponisten Johann Johannsson zusammen- gearbeitet.
Die Musik wurde bisher weitgehend für Theater, Tanz und Film eingesetzt. Mit Videoinstallationen von Peking bis New York unterwegs.

Wer Various einmal gehört hat, wird den unverwechselbaren Sound jederzeit wiedererkennen. 2005 mit den von der Kritik gefeierten Hater/Biker Walk Singles bekannt geworden, verblüfft die Band die Journalisten, Fans und KritikerInnen mit der Herkunft, Intention und Bedeutung ihres einzigartiges Stils. Sie könnte als eine Arte von "eclectic fusion of electronic beats, soulful, melodic lyrics, and folkish introspections" angekündigt werden.

Das Projekt „Mimu“ entstand im Frühjahr 2008 in neuer Konstellation bestehend aus drei Agenten, die sich interdimensionär mit Visuals, Soundinkubation und Songwriting beschäftigen, die Musik lässt sich als zarter, konzeptlastiger, kniehoher Elektronikpop mit teils exprimentellen, teils folkloristischen Ansätzen beschreiben – Stimme getragen von sanften wummernden Orgeln und schrulligen Beats, die, synthetischen Regentropfen gleich, aufs melancholische Haupt darniederprasseln.

wide open eyes shut und big MAMA präsentieren:
Valgeir Sigurðsson [Bedroom Community / Reykjavík]
Ben Frost [Bedroom Community / Melbourne, Reykjavík]
zvonko [disko404 / A]
Valgeir Sigurðsson produzierte u.a. für Björk, Coco Rosie und Bonnie Prince Billy. 2007 erschien sein erstes eigenes Album „Ekvilibrium“. Weit im Ausdruck schwingen darin Streicher und Klavierklänge, eingebettet in unglaublichen Soundkulissen durch den Raum. Er nimmt musikalische Genres auf, ohne einem zu verfallen. Gegensätze lässt er zu einem großen Ganzen aufgehen. Über Ben Frost schreibt The Wire: „Simply awesome. Frost reminds us that minimalism was never just the polished sheen of Reich and Glass, but also the sweat and grime of Michael Gira's Swans. This is Arvo Pärt as arranged by Trent Reznor. Magnificent.“ Maryanne Hobbs nennt ihn „Arresting and exquiste. A truly elemental creative force.“

bass-heavy riddims / booty / crunk / dubstep
Signed to Ninja Tune, producer/DJ Ghislain Poirier is known to push the bass in many directions ranging from digital dancehall, nova soca and electronic riddims. He’s an alchemist specialized in melting many styles down, mixing them and producing some of the most addictive bass-heavy riddims around. His live sets are furious, massive and set the dancefloor on fire. It’s the perfect soundclash of live drumming and electronic beats with the incredible contribution of long time collaborators Christian Olsen (drums) and Face-T (vocals). A master in the art of making people move in his DJ sets, Poirier spin music that flows effortlessly from dancehall, dubstep, global urban beats, electro, soca and much more. He based and masterminded his sets in Montréal at his sold out party « Bounce le Gros » for two years.
In the past Poirier has collaborated with MC’s and DJ’s from across the globe, working with NYC’s resident Large cats Beans (Warp) and dj/rupture (Tigerbeat6), as well as Parisian heavy weights TTC (Big Dada), Chicago’s MC Zulu and London’s Lotek Hi-Fi (Big Dada) amongst others.
Poirier has become renowned globally for his bass slammin remixes that continue to further solidify his title as “king of the bounce”. He has remixed tracks for UK grime/hip hop sensation Lady Sovereign (Def Jam), Bassnectar, Pole, Buck 65, The Editors, Champion, all to much critical acclaim and garnering him attention from publications such as pitchforkmedia.com , The Wire and XLR8R Magazine.
In 2005 Poirier decided to throw down his own successful monthly DJ night in Montreal, BOUNCE LE GROS. An evening that featured what Poirier described as “Bass and no attitude“. Poirier’s night of genre Mashing provided ebough bass to fill the place, attracting a mixed crowd that appreciate his dirty style, tasty beats and eclectic flare.
In 2007-2008 Poirier released the album ‘No Ground Under’ on Ninja Tune. The record was well received by the public and press alike, and as a result he toured in North America and Europe several times. This legend in the making is touring the world extensively playing the underground club circuit. Keep your ears open and your feet in check !
In an era of unparalleled media saturation, Taliesin shines through the detritus. A scientist's attention for detail and a painterly view towards the decks puts Taliesin at the forefront of a new generation of DJs obsessed with exploring new sonic possibilities in turntable based performance. Hunting bass across eras and genres, Taliesin's obsession with the physicality of sound and the magical interaction between performer and audience combine to produce astounding mixes and provoking performances. As comfortable playing museum openings in New York as he is laying wreck to parties under the freeway in Seattle's south side, Taliesin's low end theory ignores boundaries and turns heads every time he touches a mixer.

COTN # 6
bass driven minimalism
Shackleton live [Skull Disco, Perlon / Berlin, UK]
Bitz [Houseverbot, Dangerous Tweakers / Graz]
Element012 [Stubenmusicstudio / Graz]
El Rakkas [echodub, COTN / Graz]
feelipa [COTN, disko404 / Graz]
B.L.O. [COTN, disko404 / Graz]
Shackleton´smaverick take on big basslines and complex beats doesn't fit into easy categories and that's how it's going to stay. Shackleton has been carving out his own brand of eclecticism on Skull Disco releases so far with intricate, snaking percussion, hypnotic melodies, seriously deep bass lines and dubwise sensibilities. Beside that he's running the Skull Disco label with Appleblim.
Skull Disco releases often tended to use unusual sounds, atypical of the dubstep genre; they often eschew the familiar drum tropes of dubstep for African percussion and samples of ethnic vocals, combined with massive sub-bass, and sometimes elements of four to the floor Basic Channel-style dub techno. Some tracks (particularly later Shackleton releases) carry a strong Muslimgauze influence. Minimal techno producer Ricardo Villalobos is a fan; he produced a nearly twenty-minute remix of Shackleton's Blood on my Hands after expressing an interest and being handed the core samples of the song at a DJ set. Shackleton has returned the favour by remixing Minimoonstar from Villalobos' Vasco EP Part 1.
http://www.skulldisco.com
In 2001 Bitz began DJing in Graz and founded the Houseverbot label in 2002. Around that time he started promoting parties together with fellow mates F. Puschmann and Clara Moto with Minimal Housing at Kunsthaus Graz and plenty of events in Sub. After that the busy Houseverbot crew started promoting the legendary Birds party series at Postgarage together with the Soundsilo Crew. 2003 marked the beginning of Bitz as a Techno / House / Electronica producer. Nowadays he's also part of the Dangerous Tweakers production outfit together with pianist Martin Riegelnegg & Bogdanovic whichs sound can be described as post-minimalist techno with a hint of deep house and a breeze of funk.

Als Gründer von Projekten wie stubenmusicstudio.com, lofi deathstar und barcodeterror prod., veröffentlichte Element012 seit 1999 mehr als 10 konzeptionelle Alben und auf einigen Samplern wie disko404’s ottotto oder dem fm4 Soundpark Sampler Microtonner. Seit 2003 ist er ein Resident DJ des wöchentlichen Sonntags Abstrakt. Die Musik von Element012 lässt sich irgendwo zwischen Noise, HipHop, Abstract Dub und Breakbeat einordnen.
http://www.myspace.com/element012
El Rakkas are a DJ/production duo with a strong passion for the deeper end of bass music. In their back2back DJ sets you'll encounter a mixture of percussive dubstep, dark 2-step-garage beats, bassy minimal and reverbed dub-techno. Their own productions have received lots of support from the international dubstep-scene and will see vinyl & digital releases on labels like Lo Dubs, Echodub, Surface Tension and Trenchant Dubs in the upcoming months!
http://www.myspace.com/elrakkas
Through her love for bass music feelipa has pushed the sound of dubstep for years being a longstanding member of Zagreb's cfsn as well as Graz' very own disko404. Her current DJ sets consist of a good mixture of bass music styles around 140 bpm - from deep to bouncy and beyond - with an eye on the dancefloor she definately knows how to roll.

B.L.O.ist alles, nur kein Unbekannter in den hiesigen Grazer Bassmusik-Kreisen. Als Mitglied von disko404 bereichert er Parties mit einem stylistisch breitgefächerten Repertoire, welches von Hip Hop über Booty Bass, Acid oder Jungle bis hin zu Dubstep und Grime so ziemlich alles abdeckt.

COTN # 5
deep pulsating waves of dubstep & techno
Sigha [hotflush two / medium | london - uk]
Ca.tter [dubsquare / temp~ | wien]
Sci-Fi Trackers live [dubsquare / temp~ | wien]
El Rakkas [echodub / cotn | graz]
feelipa [disko404 / cotn | zagraz]
Sigha's combination of cavernous soundscapes and stoically forward-skanking beats happens to be pretty much at the edge of dubstep/minimal-crossover, which has become so popular over the past years. Musical influences come from artists such as Shed, Marcel Dettmann, and Pole, as well as dubstep masters Martyn and 2562. With his debut release on Hotflush Two he delivers a brilliantly executed realisation of Minimalism without resorting to clich'ed effects. His ostensibly calm and fragile productions turn out to be hitting dancefloors ultra-hard once they're played on a big system.
Originally coming from Experimental/Techno, Ca.tter first attracted attention as one third of 550 Rondy and their 2001 release on Vienna's legendary Cheap Entertainment imprint, with two more EPs subsequently following on temp~records. In 2004 however, Catarina Pratter's first solo-release came out on Berlin-based label SueMi, contributions to Gudrun Gut's Monika Enterprise and Electric Indigo's Female Pressure Compilations followed. Being strongly infected by Dubstep, Catarina Pratter's productions started to embrace a newly found darkness around 2006, with 4x4 schemes being steadily abandoned. As she returns as Ca.tter in 2008, her roots are still clearly audible not least in form of a endlessly skanking hi-head, while the structure of her sounds has immersed into the infinite darkness of bass-culture.
Ausreichend verzweifelt ueber den ewiggleichen minimalkram, ausgeruestet mit gruenem tee, einer passablen espressomaschine (2 heizkreise), diversen alkoholika und SuperCollider - dem schweizer-messer fuer computermusik - ueberlassen Christoph Kummerer und Martin Stepanek (aka Sci-Fi Trackers) den maschinen die trivialen probleme um sich selbst ganz den interessanten aspekten des funcStep zu widmen. Dark - aber nie ohne augenzwinkern, detroit - weil's so schoen ist, fett - obwohl man das nicht mehr sagt und reverbtails wie ein salto vom 10er. Und dann meinte ueber die beiden das magazin fuer elektronische lebensaspekte de:bug bereits 2000: "...(natürlich um Meilen besser als die ganzen eingebildeten Engländer)...".

For those who don't know, Bizzy B's Brain label was one of the most futuristic in the early days when hardcore was becoming jungle. From 92-94 they released some of the best Junglistic'ardcore there was. Classics like Darkness, Weekend, Dub plate Wars, 2 Dope EP, and artists like TDK whose TOG sub label was a peak of amen choppage. Brain also put out the debut releases of Technical Itch, Peshay and DJ Zinc and Slammin' Vinyl's Mike Slammer and Red Alert's first two releases. Bizzy also released many a classic on other labels such as Whitehouse, Suburban Base and many more. His own production / studio hire company called B Productions aimed at helping new talents and putting tracks together. This Studio saw the birth of still highly successful Beatfreaks. Engineering for chart artists such as DJ Luck & MC Neat, B Productions has become one of London’s most successful dance recording studios. In 2002 Brian was producing 2-step and Breaks with his Undercover Agents label and still releasing drum'n'bass under Warped Science. Brian's EPs for us are a new update of the Old Skool sound. "New Old School" if you will. Using todays production values so it'll kick in a drum'n'bass set today.
Murderbot played his first DJ gig in 1995 at the age of 13, and has since then played at over 400 events in 15 countries. As a producer, he first got attention through a lot of old-school-influenced neo-jungle tunes. His jungle stuff tends to be very heavy on drumwork and edits, with a lot of gangsta rap influence and a little bit of ragga influence. After some successful jungle releases on Mashit, Clash, and some other labels, as well as a fair chunk of press exposure from XLR8R, Grooves, BBC Radio 1, Pitchfork Media, and loads of others, Murderbot founded his own label, Dead Homies, as an outlet for catchy, dancefloor-worthy, well-produced, forward-thinking jungle and dubstep. In addition to jungle, however, he is a huge nerd about a lot of other genres: classic rave, speed garage, chicago house, ghettotech / juke, dancehall, electro, bassline, new wave, post-punk, soca, dubstep, and most of all disco. In the past few years he has been taking the focus off of jungle and set up a second label, Sleazetone Records, to put out sleaze pop, hi-NRG, tech house, juke / ghettotech, rave revival type stuff, speed garage. Their first project, a CD and series of singles by Kansas City-based art collective Ssion, has gotten a ton of positive press, and this is just the beginning. Watch out for the next few things Murderbot has lined up, releases by Monkey Steak, Bobby Braun, and himself.

DJ /rupture
is the pseudonym of Jace Clayton, a New York-based DJ and producer. He used to play in the drum and bass collective Toneburst, and DJ'ed in Boston during the late 1990s. His standard setup involves three turntables, on which he creates complicated mixes such as one with a cappella vocals, the second with breakbeats, and the third with ambient effects.
DJ /rupture's first big break came in 2001 with Gold Teeth Thief, a mix which combines hip hop, ragga, breakcore, jungle, noise, modern classical and music from around the globe. His second mixtape Minesweeper Suite was an even greater success, with the UK music magazine The Wire calling it one of the 10 best records of 2002. A year later, /rupture produced Special Gunpowder, his most critically acclaimed album to date. He has appeared on John Peel's BBC radio show twice, in addition to playing on The Breezeblock. /rupture is also part of the musical group Nettle and runs his own label, Soot Records. In 2008, he co-founded a new label with Matt Shadetek, called Dutty Artz. His latest mix, Uproot, released in October 2008, is surely his most "listenable" mix to date, blended seamlessly with elements from UK dubstep and Brooklyn dancehall to Berlin abstraction.
In addition to his music, /rupture is becoming a well-known voice on the blog scene with musical and non-musical posts on his website, "Mudd Up!". He also writes for other publications such as The Wire on a freelance basis. /rupture deejays a show also called "Mudd Up!" on Wednesdays, 7-8p.m. on WFMU.
Joker & MC Nomad
Bristol boy-wonder Joker came to the spotlight after the dubstep guru Pinch put out his Kapsize EP in early 2007. His strange synthesized grime / dubstep tempo music, involving computer game soundtracks and the 1970s jazz fusion, brings meanness and the prettiness to the same context, big stomping basslines together with glimmering little splices. This fresh combination soon conquered the world. Stuck In The System became an anthem at dubstep nights, as well as all the following releases.
Chosen by Kode 9, Joker got featured on Mary Anne Hobbs Generation Bass show on BBC Radio 1 Experimental. He also featured her Bristol Rise Up show. Watch out for the releases on his own Kapsize label, and his forthcoming release on Kode 9s Hyperdub label.
In Graz, Joker will present his sound accompanied by MC Nomad.
PDF
Der seit 2001 im Hip Hop-Bereich taetige Kuenstler PDF, auch bekannt als Phil da Funk, ist seit Anfang 2008 auf dem Dubstep-Sektor als Produzent und DJ aktiv. Beeinflusst von Hip Hop/ Soul und Funk kombiniert er seine alten Wurzeln mit elektronischen Klaengen und setzt damit noch eine weitere Moeglichkeit, die breitgefaecherte Musikrichtung zu repraesentieren. Dominierender Bestandteil der Kompositionen sind die Bassfrequenzen, untermalt mit zahlreichen Hall- und Echoeffekten, die eindeutig aus der Dub-Szene stammen.
Neurologic und Sub Scientist

Obwohl beide auch eindeutig andere Musik wie D&B, Jungle, Tekkno, uvm. auflegen haben sie zusammen vorallem in Dubstep ihre Passion gefunden. Ihre Selection reicht ueber diverse Variationen von Dubstep, von chillig bis uebertrieben hart. Check it Out!

Klute
The musical career of Tom Withers began way before the sounds of drum and bass or even hardcore had first emerged. He fronted a succesfull skate punk outfit The Stupids during the late 1980s, before venturing into electronic music and starting his own solo career.
From acid house and techno he made a natural progression into rave and then hardcore before playing his first gigs as a drum and bass DJ around 1996. His rebel roots and punk attitude created Klute’s trademark: an ability to combine a multitude of influences in his music, from techno to thrash to dub.
Klute’s early forays into jungle brought several outings on the seminal Certificate 18 label and a relationship grew that resulted in the release of his first artist album, in 1998. Klute went on to release a further album on Certificate 18 in 2000, before he set up his own imprint.
Klute kicked off Commercial Suicide with the genre-defying classic “Tranceformat” in 2001 and set the tone for the label that has since come to be held in the highest regard. Releases from the likes of Calibre, Digital, Spirit, Hive and Juju, and later SKC and Amit, raised the label’s profile and helped build a reputation for varied output across the specturm of drum and bass, testing both musical boundaries and the dancefloor.
Mixing heart-stopping melodies with relentless beats, Klute has developed a sound that is very much his own and one that appeals to a broad audience. His latest LP, “The Emperor’s New Clothes”, gives the fullest representation of his sound yet, however, taking the listener through a spectrum of styles.
Equally when playing, Klute always brings a fresh and varied selection with the same high energy levels as his productions are known for. So far this year he’s played gigs all over the UK and Europe as well as tours in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia to include Japan, Korea, China, and even Vladivostok and has shown no signs of stopping yet.
Mary Anne Hobbs
Radio 1 firebrand at the helm of the pioneering Experimental electronic show (formerly known as the Breezeblock), Mary Anne is pushing next generation dubstep, grime, drum&bass, hip-hop, techno, dark dancefloor and radical electronic flavaz in every form. Just a handful of guests you'll have found mixing and in session on the show include The Beastie Boys, Bjork, Burial, Squarepusher, Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Amon Tobin, Jeff Mills, Trentmoller, Rhythm& Sound, Santogold, Justice, Kano, Radiohead, Metallica, Photek, Mike Patton, Autechre, besides of course all the leading dubstep artists. Her 'Dubstep Warz' show for Radio1 in January 2006 is widely regarded as the show that broke the dubstep sound globally, and she followed this in August 2008 with the 'Generation Bass' special curated at her invitation by the original Dubstep Warz DJs. Mary Anne released a definitive underground compilation album in June 2008 'Evangeline' on the Planet Mu label, following her notorious debut for the label 'Warrior Dubz' in October 2006. This year Mary Anne curated for the 2nd time stage at Sonar Festival, following the historic UK Dubstep Showcase at Sonar Festival in 2007, taking the sound out of small humid clubs for the very first time and onto an international festival stage. Before coming to BBC Radio 1 in 1997, Mary Anne was writing for Sounds, NME and Loaded, and was working for BBC GLR and XFM. Working for BBC Radio 1, Mary Anne hosted shows from all the major award ceremonies: Q, NME, Brits, Kerrang, Mercury Music Prize… and made documentaries about artists as diverse as David Bowie, Slipknot and The Sex Pistols. She founded and fronted the award-winning Radio 1 Rock Show for five years, fronted 27 hours of live coverage at Glastonbury Festival for the BBC, and much more...
Zomby
Zomby comes from nowhere and is already dead.
Enigmatic UK producer, Zomby makes rave music, but often cramming everything from rave, grime, crunk and dubstep to garage, jackin' house, Nintendo and bassline into whatever space he can, and without compromising the songs as a whole.

big MAMA presents:
Squarepusher live [Warp, Rephlex / UK]
Am 27. Oktober 2008 erscheint das neue Album 'Just a Souvenier' des Electronic Pioniers Tom Jenkinson alias Squarepusher.
Im Rahmen des neuen Albums tourt Tom Jenkinson mit Schlagzeuger durch Europa. Im Zuge dessen gibt Squarepusher sein einziges Oesterreich-Konzert, und das erste seit einer halben Ewigkeit, am 21. November im NonStop Kino in Graz.
Tom "Squarepusher" Jenkinson makes manic, schizoid experimental drum'n'bass with a heavy progressive jazz influence and a lean toward pushing the clichés of the genre out the proverbial window. Rising from near-total obscurity to drum'n'bass cause célèbre in the space of a couple of months, Jenkinson released only a pair of EPs and a DJ Food remix for the latter's Refried Food series before securing EP and LP release plans with three different labels. His first full-length work, Feed Me Weird Things (on Richard "Aphex Twin" James' Rephlex label), was a dizzying, quixotic blend of superfast jungle breaks with Aphex-style synth textures, goofy, offbeat melodies, and instrumental arrangments (Jenkinson samples his own playing for his tracks) that recall vaguely jazz fusion pioneers such as Mahavishnu Orchestra and Weather Report. A skilled bassist and multi-instrumentalist, Jenkinson's fretless accompaniment is a staple of his music and one of the more obvious affiliations with jazz (although his formal arrangements are often as jazz-derived as his playing).
Jenkinson grew up listening to jazz and dub greats like Miles Davis, Augustus Pablo, Charlie Parker, and Art Blakey. The son of a jazz drummer, Jenkinson followed in his father's footsteps, playing bass and drums in high school. Introduced to electronic music through experimental electro-techno artists such as LFO and Carl Craig, Jenkinson soon began assembling the rolls of disparate influence into amalgams of breakbeat techno and post-bop avant-garde and progressive jazz. Claiming a closer affinity with jazz than jungle (although he draws from both equally in his music), Jenkinson's EPs as Squarepusher and the Duke of Harringay (Jenkinson moved to Harringay from his Chelmsford birthplace) were initially disregarded as misplaced perversions of jungle's more obvious compositional principles, but found ready audience in fans of post-acid house experimental listening music. He inked a deal with Warp in 1995, releasing the Port Rhombus EP and three others through a variety of different labels. His full-length debut, Feed Me Weird Things, appeared in 1996, followed a year later by Hard Normal Daddy.
Critical acclaim for Jenkinson's work peaked with 1998's Music Is Rotted One Note, for which he became a one-man fusion group -- multi-tracking himself playing drums, bass, and keyboards. The following year, he released two EPs (Budakhan Mindphone, Maximum Priest) and another full LP, Selection Sixteen. Go Plastic appeared in summer 2001, featuring the closest thing to a hit Squarepusher had ever seen, with the single "My Red Hot Car." Subsequent releases such as 2003's Do You Know Squarepusher and 2004's Ultravisitor found him refining his fusion of composition, programming, and musicianship, characteristics that were also heard on 2006's Hello Everything and 2008's Just a Souvenir.

& Support: Bochum Welt live [Rephlex / IT]
Italian electro/techno composer Gianluigi Di Costanzo is the name behind the Milan-based Bochum Welt, whose smattering of atmospheric acid and electro releases have been quick in establishing him as an artist at the edge of post-rave experimental electronica. Inspired by the '70s Dusseldorf scene through such figures as Ralf Hutter and Florian Schneider (both of Kraftwerk), as well as artists such as Brian Eno and Ryuichi Sakamoto, Di Costanzo released his first work as Bochum Welt on the Italian Trance Communications label starting in 1994, at the age of 21. Focusing mostly on acid and more typical floorbang techno, Di Costanzo worked as often on atmospheric electro and ambient, little of which saw release until many years later (most notably on the Phial EP). Though Italy is hardly a stronghold of techno experimentation, Di Costanzo's early Trance twelves, as well as a collaboration with labelmates Zenith attracted the attention of Aphex Twin Richard James, whose Rephlex imprint reissued several tracks from the Bochum Welt back-catalog as the Scharlach Eingang EP in 1995. Di Costanzo followed up his Rephlex debut the following year with a full-length for the label, Module 2; Desktop Robotics followed in 1997, trailed two years later by Martians and Spaceships. He has also released material through his own label, Kromode, and the Swiss Axodya label.

Qwerty [Rottenrow / HR]
Funk Guru [confusion / HR]
Simon/off [Plainaudio]
tetsuo [disko404]
retro / future / acid / smilies / love
Since the late 90s Qwerty has released several albums of experimental electronic music as both Qwerty and Spleen on Phthalo (LA), Piehead (Toronto), Kitchen Sink (NY) and Egoboo.Bits (ZG/HR). The Concrete Acid EP for Glasgows Rottenrow released in 2006 was his first vinyl release and featured 4 concrete-solid electro acid-influenced tracks, both dancefloor honed and jittery percussive. 'Concrete Acid' reached top 20 electro bestsellers on Boomkat and top 10 Warpmart recommendations, and was presented on the popular Breezeblock show (BBC Radio 1). One of the radio shows which featured Qwertys DJ mixes in more than 20 countries worldwide was the legendary Solid Steel show (Cold Cut/Ninja Tune).
Als ein Drittel der oesterreichischen (Brueder) Band Winterstrand, begann Simon/Off 1998 Breaks und D&B aufzulegen. Schnell entdeckte er verschiedene Terrains von IDM, Minimal und Breackcore, auch als Produzent. Seine erste Solo 12inch erschien 2005 auf Houseverbot, gefolgt von einem Album auf dem Netlabel Kikapu Records. In engem Kontakt mit einer Netlabelszene, war sein naechster Schritt die Veroeffentlichung seiner Musik in digitalem Format auf Labels wie Miga, sowie als ein Netaudio-Only-Mix auf dem deutschen Mixotic Imprint.

Leon Switch
Since establishing a production partnership in 1999, Leon Switch & Kryptic Minds have witnessed phenomenal success with every release, and continue to go from strength to strength, ameliorating with every release. Their co-owned labels: Defcom Records & Osiris Music UK is a prominent and much revered institution in the drum & bass scene. Record sales on tracks: 'Take the pain away' and 'No Escape' were sky high and both helped to set a high president which other labels found hard to follow. Simon & Leon extended their collaborative arms further than Defcom Records, crafting a number of both original and remix tracks to be released on a variety of imprints: Penetration, Renegade Hardware, Metalheadz, Tech Freak, Freak Recordings Liftin' Spirits to name a few. It seemed the name: Leon Switch & Kryptic Minds was everywhere.
2007 saw the release of their highly anticipated 'Lost All Faith' Album' hailed by meny as DnB Album of 2007. Here they showcase their diverse talent crossing over into other genres, such as Orchestral and Down Tempo.
Simon & Leon are currently working on their second album due for release in 2008. They also have many 12" single releases lined up for both Defcom Recrds & Osiris Music UK.
DJ Hidden
Coming from a small city in the Netherlands, it did not seem as though there were many people around doing the same stuff like DJ Hidden. Mutual friends kept hinting about "this other guy that does stuff with a computer" and eventually DJ Hidden was introduced to Eye-D.
They decided to team up and in 1996. first Outside Agency and the first (and last) X-Factor hardcore records made their way to stores and both records became "underground hits".
Releasing records provided a welcome boost in the amount of bookings for DJ Hidden. Besides playing vinyl, The Outside Agency even decided to do some live shows which were edited into a videoclip that was aired multiple times on national television.
In the late nineties, the initial glory days of the darker side of hardcore/gabber came to an end. Drum N Bass, breakbeat and IDM became more appealing and, while DJ Hidden kept producing and releasing hardcore, he now also started to experiment with these "different takes" on electronic music.
In 2003 Genosha Recordings was born and ever since, the duo (along with various highly talented producers from all over the world) has been using the label as an output for their unique blend of industrial hardcore mixed with drum n bass and idm elements.
DJ Hidden made a track record of over 90 releases including lots of vinyl 12" singles and two full-length CD albums, not counting a large number of compilations featuring licensed tracks.
New plans include projects such as DJ Hidden (drum n bass/breakcore/IDM), Semiomime (IDM, experimental) and of course The Outside Agency (hardcore); all exploring and expanding a soundtrack of thoughts and emotions by combining elements that are dark, cinematic, atmospheric, melodic, and percussive.

B.L.O. [disko404, COTN / Graz]
00Piano [COTN, disko404 / Graz]
Bass macht sexy...
Mit Dubstep explodiert in den Clubs ein Sound, der in seiner Zerworfenheit und Energie derzeit eine der aufregendsten und formenreichsten Spielarten der elektronischen Musik darstellt. Dabei steht Milanese an vorderster Front als internationaler Vertreter der neuen experimentelleren Generation, der zwischen Grime, Dubstep, Jungle, HipHop, oder Electro Booty oszilliert. Bseste Bsse, Soundscapes und glasklare Produktion zeichnen ihn aus. Ursprnglich releaste er auf Warp (UK), legte bei Partys wie Megadog und in der Free-Party-Szene auf und hat ein Gespr fr die Fusion verschiedener Styles wie kaum ein anderer.
Ben Sharpa, als fhrende Kraft in Sdafrikas Undergroundszene formierte er Mitte der 90er die Kult-Crews ãGroundWorksÒ und ãAudio VisualÒ. Seine Musik und Texte handelten meist von sozialem Bewusstsein, Politik und dem Kampf ums berleben. 2003 gewann er den landesweiten Freestyle-Battle, was ihm zu nationalen Ruhm verhalf und auch im Ausland einen Namen verschaffte. Neben etlichen Shows mit internationalen Gr§en, war er 2006 mit Wordsworth (EMC) und Jonzi-D Headliner des Tri-Continental HipHop Festivals. 2007 entdeckte ihn die BBC Radio 1 DJane Mary-Anne Hobbs und beschrieb ihn als "one of the most inspired and agile lyricists in the world today"

big MAMA, Wire Globe, Wide Open Eyes Shut & Feinkost Royal praesentieren:
LIARS [Mute / USA]
The Scarabeusdream [Wire Globe / A]
Der Alte [Feinkost Royal / A] zvonko [disko404, elevate / A]
Liars sind ein Experimental/Indie-Rock-Trio, bestehend aus dem Australier Angus Andrew (Gesang, Bass) sowie Aaron Hemphill (E-Gitarre, Moodswinger, Schlagzeug) und Julian Gross (Schlagzeug) aus Los Angeles.
Die Band wurde 2000 von Andrew und Hemphill in New York gegruendet. Die beiden suchten kurz nach Gruendung per Anzeige zwei weitere Bandmitglieder fr die Rhythmussektion, die alsbald mit Pat Noecker (Bass) und Ron Albertson (Schlagzeug) gefunden waren. In dieser Formation nahmen Liars ihr erstes Studioalbum auf, das ihnen grosse Aufmerksamkeit insbesondere in der New Yorker Dance-Punk-Szene verschaffte. Zwei EPs folgten, bevor Noecker und Albertson aufgrund kreativer Differenzen die Band verliessen und durch Andrews alten Freund Julian Gross ersetzt wurden. Fuer die Aufnahme ihres dritten Albums zog das neue Trio dann nach Berlin, wo es auch heute noch angesiedelt ist. 2007 erschien nun das vierte Studioalbum der Liars, das sich zwar vom Konzeptgedanke der letzten beiden Alben wegbewegt, jedoch nicht minder komplex ist und wohl zu den wichtigsten Veroeffentlichungen im Bereich Experimental Rock gehoert.
Liars Diskographie:
> They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top (2001)
> Atheists, Reconsider [Split EP mit Oneida] (2002)
> Fins To Make Us More Fish-Like [EP] (2002)
> They Were Wrong, So We Drowned (2004)

Knifehandchop
Billy Pollard became known as Knifehandchop after releasing his first album at age 18. He has been consistently producing fresh, new music ever since, and you can always count on each release sounding different than the previous one.
His style blends elements of electro, hip-hop, house, techno, booty, and dancehall reggae to produce songs that either fit into one of these genres, or blend them together to create something unclassifiable and uniquely his own.
Early in his musical career, Knifehandchop released a string of popular and illegal 7Ó records and CDs for British record label ÔIrritant RecordsÕ. These records used un-cleared samples scattered over huge beats, which resulted in loads of mainstream magazine attention, being covered by Mixmag, Muzik, URB, XLR8R, Vice Magazine and more.
Since that point, he has becoming a longtime staple of kid606's Oakland-based Tigerbeat6 records, releasing his two most recent albums through them.
In 2003 Knifehandchop recorded a live session for the late John Peel for his immensely influential radio show on BBC Radio 1. Mary Anne Hobbes of the Radio 1 Breezeblock show is also a huge supporter of Knifehandchop, and a session was recorded for her show in 2004. These radio sets were recorded during extensive tours of Europe, America and Japan that included huge festivals or dirty raves, depending on the occasion.
After ÔHow I Left YouÕ was released, Knifehandchop changed his focus from releasing full-length albums to making singles and 12Ó records featuring a new sound that is tailored to the dance floor. His first production in this regard was the much-hyped booty anthem ÔDirty New YorkÕ on Tigerbeat6. Modeselektor and Knifehandchop have also teamed up for a split release on Shockout records called ÔWeed Wid Da MackaÕ which features vocals by famed Jamaican dancehall star Ninjaman. This was followed by a huge electro remix by Knifehandchop of the smash UK single ÒThou Shalt Always KillÓ by Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip on Lex Records.
While recording these new techno-dance records, Knifehandchop has also been throwing a series of successful over the top parties in Toronto called Math Hooker.
DuranDuranDuran
Duran Duran Duran is a breakcore band consisting of Ed Flis, Michael Chaiken, and Tony Gabor. Philadelphia-based Ed Flis is the main working member and does most live shows by himself.
Like most breakcore Duran Duran Duran's music is reminiscent of the rave music of the early 1990's. However, Ed Flis admits to not being heavily influenced by the rave scene himself. Evident in both his music and his performance persona, four of his defining characteristics are heavy metal, illegal drugs, hip-hop and pornography, especially homosexual pornography. Flis often performs in a Rainbow Brite outfit with clothe pins attached to his genitalia, claiming that this inspires him to "rave harder and longer."
Duran Duran Duran's music is more a reaction to the IDM's staleness than a direct continuation of early rave. As he puts it: "Rave is cheap, tossed-off, drug-damaged and rocking. IDM is pretentious, boring and not fun.
In January 2005, Duran Duran Duran's full album "Very Pleasure" was the first release of Jason Forrest's Cock Rock Disco label. The album takes from hip-hop, rock and ragga and samples from 80s hits like Ace of Base, but also metal like Slayer. With a painting of two naked men frolicking in a field on the cover and song titles like "Manrammer", the album reflects Ed Flis' pseudo gay propaganda, intended to shock a more mainstream audience.

Noisia
Evolution, intelligentes Design, goettliche Intervention unhabhaengig von Vernunft oder Verstand, es gibt keinen Anlass die Tatsache anfechten zu wollen, dass die Natur einen Schritt vorwaerts gemacht hat und Noisia das Ergebnis ist. Ob sie die Dancefloors auseinander nehmen oder weniger destruktiven Drum & Bass liefern als ihr Alter Ego Drifter, Noisia produzieren Musik die alles moegliche ausloesen kann und bestimmt nur noch besser wird.
Dieses Trio ist so talentiert, dass ihre Tracks in den Sets so ziemlich aller Drum & Bass Elite DJs, sowie einer ueberwaeltigenden Mehrheit gewoehnlicher Sterblicher, auftauchen. Weiters ist die Nachfrage nach ihren DJ Sets so hoch, dass die Hysterie die vorher nur Pendulum auszuloesen im Stande waren, nun von einer Masse an Noisia Fans rund um die Welt geschuert wird. In China wurden loyale Anhaenger gezwungen in den Untergrund abzutauchen, da die immer groesser werdende Fangemeinde fuer das kommunistische Regime Anlass war, sie als Sekte zu klassifizieren, die eine Bedrohung fuer die Kontrolle des Staates darstellt!
The DJ Producer
Active since 1990, Luke DJ'd at the majority of early large scale raves in UK including Universe, Dreamscape, Helter Skelter, Rezerection, Pandemonium. From these early outings, he gained recognition and reputation and since then has been DJing round the globe solidly for the last 15 years and appearing at events such as Breakcore gives me wood, Thunderdome, Bangface and Glade Festival. His passion for high powered, super precise, rapid beat mixing stems from his early passions of electro and hip hop. Recording since 1994, Luke has released on labels worldwide including Rebelscum, Social parasite, Deathchant and Planet Mu. In the last couple of years his releases and remixes appeared on The Third movement, Epiteth records and Killing sheep, to name a few.

Kode9
is one of the dubstep scene's leading lights. His label, powers as a tastemaker and his DJ sets have won him acclaim all over the world in recent years. He has followed the freshest wave of the hyperdub virus into the 21st century, a mutating sound, as much influenced by Jamaican dub and dancehall, Berlin's dub techno/microhouse as London's jungle, drum'n'bass and uk garage scenes. He is currently pushing a distinctly South London sound, playing a mixture of dancehall influenced bass heavy post-garage, variously known as dubstep, and grime. Today he is leading dubstep dj (check the acclaimed Dubstep Allstars mix series released on Tempa and http://kode9.blogspot.com/2007/05/mix-for-sonar-festival.html) and among the most unique sounding and interesting producers. Kode9 is an oldschool dj with a polished mixing technique and he knows exactly how the scene is moving; he controls the different trends and he's alert about its current possibilities and its future prospects. While he plays nothing but the newest upfront dubs, Kode's also been DJing longer than some youngers have been alive, following the sound through from old school to jungle, 2step to today. Widely recognized as the most creative producer in the genre, and the head of it's most respected label, Kode9 is the axis upon which much of Dubstep has turned. His dubstep, condensed in the glacial "Memories of the future", compresses a thousand and one ideas attached to science fiction ideology, evokes a dubious and slightly esoteric tomorrow, like if space-time continuity could be altered any minute.
He is also the founder of the pioneering dubstep label Hyperdub, releasing artist such as Burial, Warrior Queen and The Bug among others. He has released tracks on Aphex Twin's Rephlex label, pioneering dubstep label Tempa, Domino, Souljazz, Planet Mu and his own Hyperdub imprint and has recently remixed artist such as the Junior Boys, Badawi and Dabrye feat. MF Doom. In 2006 he mixed the Dubstep Allstars Vol.3 CD compilation on Tempa records with vocalist Spaceape and released their debut album, 'Memories of the Future'. His track "Backward" was used on the official soundtrack from Alfonso Cuarn's masterpiece "Children of men". He has been a resident at ÒForwardÓ,dubstep's founding club night, since its inception, and his dj sets have helped spread the South London sound internationally from Australia to America. Steve Goodman is a lecturer in Media Production and he runs the MA Sonic Culture at the University of East London. Currently he is writing a book entitled 'Sonic Warfare' on the intersection between war and sonic culture.

Shitmat
The King of Mashcore returns for yet another journey through the sound of mashed up gabba rave hardcore, Shitmat style... As the name suggests, his new album ãGrooveriderÒ is highly influenced by the uk rave scene and sees Shitmat move to a more serious, hard jungle sound with less random samples (although Tina Turner, Britney Spears, and The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe still manage to ma an appearance). Another classically rungleclotted, ass kicking selection to follow up the 9000+ selling Full English Breakfest, Grooverider is set to destroy dancefloors worldwide and is a must for the discerning breakcore connoisseur.
Elemental
North London based producer Elemental started dabbling with production in 1994 with a Roland D5 and Atari ST at school. He later invested in an Akai S2000 sampler and a PC, the rest as they say, is history. In the nineties he predominantly focused on DnB and experimental Electronic music. At 18 he put out his first DnB release off his own back, and was also one half of Breakbeat duo 'Elemental + 3D', releasing several tracks on their own label 'Runtime Recordings' in 2002. But it was when he found the darker, bass heavy garage sound that his attention was drawn towards the early incarnation of Dubstep, upon hearing the likes of Search & Destroy on Rinse FM, he found the sound he had been looking for, dark, heavy syncopated beats and bass. Since finding Dubstep, Elemental has been focused on bringing his unique sound to the masses, undeniably hard yet dubbed out, dirty bass and hypnotising rhythms. He has had many releases from Destructive, Hotflush, Pitch Black and Halo Beats, and more recently, his seminal track 'Soulfire' featured on Tayo's Fabric mix cd. Elemental also DJ's, and was officially the first person to do a Dubstep 'Live' gig, using Ableton Live on a laptop, mixing up tracks and components of his productions to rapturous audiences across the world, no set is ever the same twice.
'ZILLA' / King Cannibal
Zilla's work on his own brand of super-evolved mixes attracted attention from all corners leading to performances on the Solid steel radio show, the honour of being the first unsigned act to play at Strictly Kev & D.Ks Solid Steel clubnight, 4 sets with Buddy Peace at Dedbeat 04 in the course of one weekend and a number of European dates. Warp Records stepped in and invited Buddy Peace & ZILLA to compile a retrospective of the label, released late September 2004 as part of the 'WARP VISION The Videos' DVD.
The Warp Vision Audio Visual / Resfest Tour followed, as well as invitations to play at Glade Festival, Trash, The Warp Summer Ball and The Poke Xmas Rave. Invitations to remix started multiplying as ÔZILLAÕ perfected his twisted industrial take on dancehall, dubstep & drum n bass, and in late 2006 he was asked to produce an EP for kid606's Shockout label. Recieving massive support from Amon Tobin (Ninja Tune), Combat Recordings and Rag And Bone Records, the EP quickly became two, both of which are due for release in 2008 under 'ZILLA's brand new new alias KING CANNIBAL, alongside other releases including work for Combat Recordings.

Qwerty
Since the late 90s Qwerty has released several albums of experimental electronic music as both Qwerty and Spleen on Phthalo (LA), Piehead (Toronto), Kitchen Sink (NY) and Egoboo.Bits (ZG/HR). The Concrete Acid EP for Glasgows Rottenrow released in 2006 was his first vinyl release and featured 4 concrete-solid electro acid-influenced tracks, both dancefloor honed and jittery percussive. 'Concrete Acid' reached top 20 electro bestsellers on Boomkat and top 10 Warpmart recommendations, and was presented on the popular Breezeblock show (BBC Radio 1). One of the radio shows which featured Qwertys DJ mixes in more than 20 countries worldwide was the legendary Solid Steel show (Cold Cut/Ninja Tune).

Reich und Schoen (Originaltitel: The Bold and the Beautiful) ist eine US-amerikanische Daily Soap, die seit dem 23. Mrz 1987 auf dem US-Sender CBS ausgestrahlt wird. Mit mehr als 5.000 Folgen und 300 Millionen Zuschauern aus ber 130 Lndern gilt die Endlosserie als erfolgreichste Soap weltweit.
Hintergrund
Der Ursprung der Serie liegt in der ebenfalls sehr erfolgreich ausgestrahlten Soap "Schatten der Leidenschaft" (Erstausstrahlung: 26. Mrz 1973, aktuell bei ber 8.500 gesendeten Folgen in den USA), von der "Reich und Schn" als Spin-Off von den Erfindern der Soap William J. Bell und Lee Phillip Bell konzipiert wurde.
In Deutschland wurde die Serie erstmals im April 1988 unter dem Titel Fashion Affairs auf Tele 5 ausgestrahlt. Ab dem 2. Mai 1989 lief die Serie unter dem Titel Reich und Schn auch bei RTL plus. Whrend Tele 5 die Sendung im Oktober 1990 aus dem Programm nahm, strahlte RTL die Soap - abgesehen von einer siebenmonatigen Unterbrechung im Jahr 1991 - durchgehend bis Mai 2000 aus, bis sie im Zuge einer Umstruktierung neben anderen Soaps wie Springfield Story, Zeit der Sehnsucht und Sunset Beach aus dem Programm genommen wurde. Im Januar 2002 fand Reich und Schn schlie§lich ein neues Zuhause im ZDF, wo die Serie zunchst montags bis freitags um 10.50 Uhr in Doppelfolgen ausgestrahlt wurde. Spter wechselte sie zwischenzeitig ins Nachmittagsprogramm (15.15 Uhr), doch aufgrund geringerer Einschaltquoten platzierte man Reich und Schn erneut im Vormittagsprogramm (nun ab 11.15 Uhr).
Parallel dazu war die Soap ebenfalls auf dem oesterreichischen Sender ORF 2 (Montag - Freitag, 13.40 Uhr - 14.25 Uhr) zu sehen. Ende Mai 2007 bernimmt der oesterreichische Privatsender ATV die Soap vom ORF mit Episode 4.452. Das ZDF erwarb erst kuerzlich weitere 400 Folgen, die nahtlos an die derzeitig ausgestrahlte Staffel im Herbst anschlie§en. Hierbei handelt es sich um die Episoden 4849 - 5249, also Folgen, die bisher noch nicht einmal in den USA zu sehen waren (Stand im Juli USA: Folge 5100), bzw. noch nicht produziert sind.

dubstep jungle acid dnb rave madness!!!
Milanese
Extend, Milanese's first full length album (released in September last year on Planet-Mu), dropped amongst fans of grime and dubstep styles like a asteroid from the far reaches of the sonic universe. Championed by Mary-Ann Hobbs and featured on her Warrior Dubz compilation alongside the likes of The Bug and dubstep pioneers Loefah and Digital Mystikz, there is no denying the excitement surrounding this new UK style.
Yet musically it only loosely fits the format of these genres, melting hard edged industrial techno percussion with sinister rave basslines, and the sort of deliberately haunting b-movie samples that usually pervade dark drum'n'bass tracks. Snare drums stretch and dissipate into white noise while searing basslines collide viciously with the heavily disfigured vocals of the Virus Syndiate, resulting in a sound which can only be called his own.
While it might be his first album, Extend is certainly not his first release. The world first heard Milanese in 2004 through a release on dance-oriented Warp subsidury Arcola, leading to the mini-album 1 up later in the year, leaving a substantial dent in the electronic music world.
Having had his busiest year yet in '06, this year shows no signs of a reprieve. Milanese has gained a reputation for his floor destroying live sets, putting him on festival and promoters 'most wanted' lists far and wide.
Latest news: A follow up to Extend is set to hit the shelves later in the year through Planet-Mu entitled Adapt, appropriately featuring top notch adaptions from the likes of Clark and Distance alongside some awesome new material. Hold on to your face!
Ceephax Acid Crew
Ceephax Acid Crew is the revered moniker of Andy Jenkinson, younger brother of the all mighty Squarepusher. A massive talent encompassing an old school acid sensibility crossed with the energy and innovation of Rephlex's "Universal Indicator" series, plus a melodic and moody experimental side that is revealed in his mellower moments. A true original.
He is currently releasing music on Aphex Twin's 'Rephlex' label, along with other respected labels like Planet Mu, Bug Klinik, Firstcask and Breakin
Andy travelled all over the world with his unique setup of vintage hardware, raving up the masses into an acid frenzy that delights with a nostalgic edge and a total dedication to the dancefloor.
X&trick
Running a label, setting up shows and touring, touring, touring ... this all seems to be X&tricks everyday life.
Born and raised in some small town near the Belgian coast, X&trick started dj'ing and organising parties in the later nineties.
A few years later he started his own label / party org called 'Bug Klinik', which is currently releasing music by worldwide artists and
setting up shows and raves all over Europe which sometimes get over 1000 visitors. X&trick became a constant force when it comes to bringing highly respected artists along with new talents over to Belgium and Europe.
That kid loves music and loves to make the girls go wild. His live and dj sets cover a wide range of styles like IDM, Breakcore, Jungle and Dnb.
Known for his busy tour shedule, X&trick played hundreds of dates all over the world, boosting up the dancefloor at some of the most respected clubs, raves and festivals like Bangface (London), Elevate (Graz), Milk (Japan), Nuits Sonores (Lyon), Overkill (London), BGMW (Belgium), Fri-son (Swiss), Dark*Est (Romania) Sai Festival (Ireland)...to name just a few..
He releases worldwide on labels like Bug Klinik (B), Suburban Trash (DE), Terminal Dusk (USA), Bee (F), Puzzling (B),...
and has allready started to write new material, so you better keep your eyes open. The story has just begun......
Greyone
Greyone an up and coming Belgium drumnbass producer, started producing in 2004 at the age of 17. His tracks are hard & fast with loads of effects , with a big amount of basskicks and sharp reeses that pierce trough your ears.
The intension of his production is to shock people and to spread out the sickness of future Darkstep. In 2006 he got signed by Witness Records . Not much later greyone caught the eye of some more labels. In the summer of 2006 he signed into Nightmare Recordings and Mindsaw Recordings .
In 2007 greyone starts dropping his bombs on Livesets , plays next to big producers and signed into "Bug Klinik Records" from Belgium !
Now he's focusing on further sick production and Liveset performance . With a fast learning skill and hughe improvement of his tracks Greyone is getting one of future's most wanted !
Wolloff
eine aliasing-freie wavetable-resampling Technologie dient als Basis für dunkle Athmosphären in Mitten von melodischen Bass-Generatoren, die durch bis zu noiseartiger Vervielfältigung mit unkontrollierbarem Panorama und Detuning für die nötige, pausenlose Substanz im dichten Jungle-Himmel sorgen.
DJ K-os
K-os aka Arne Debruyne was always interested in a lot of music. Anything thrilling got his attention.
After a few years of partying in Belgium, K-os joined the Peacefull Species collective, mainly known as promoters/organisers of quality electronic music events. Back then K-os also started buying vinyl & decks and dj-ed techno, bleepy/acid & hardtek.
Being advised/influenced by friends like X&Trick & the Cyclone shop, he soon developed a great interest for more experimental music, including Jungle, Breakcore and IDM(?). He became a serious vinyl collector, digging a large variety of genres/artists. Labels like Rephlex, Warp, Planet-Mu, Skam, Schematic, Hymen () meant a lot to him because of their diversity, eclectism and high standards.
Having played at a lot of parties and known for his surprisingly mature sets, K-os has become an experienced DJ who fits easily in any line-up.
Some time ago, K-os also joined AppAratus and - together with Yeti has been brewing some interesting plans for the (near) future.
He also played several partys outside Belgium (Ireland, U.K, Suisse, Holland).
In 2006 he has been asked to join the bugklinik sound collective.
"Music has changed my life" he says, "When I'm mixing, I'm the happiest specie on this world. I never get bored.

Lifted Music & Anger Management are proud to present two of America's most recognized and respected drum'n'bass artists: Evol Intent [Atlanta, GA, USA] & Ewun [Rochester, NY, USA].
As you all know by now, Evol Intent have been doing their thing successfully for quite some time. They have always proven themselves as gifted, innovative producers in the studio and devastating DJ's on tour. This time behind the decks representing the Atlanta GA, collective is DJ Knick. Expect to hear plenty of the trademark sound they've pioneered as well as brand spanking new material off their forth coming LP on Evol Intent recordings entitled "Era of Diversion".
This is Spor's debut European Tour and it is certainly about time! Ewun has exploded into the dnb spotlight since his first release back in '05, and he hasn't lost any momentum since. He's proven his skill and diversity in the studio with big tunes like "Screw Up" on Lifted Music, "Reality Check" on Human Imprint, and "Phone Tap" on Evol Intent Recs. He's also proven his impeccable dj abilities on his steady stream of stateside dj bookings. Fresh out of the studio, Ewun will be offering some sneak peeks off of his forthcoming EP: "Wun Nation" due out on Evol Intent Recordings in the coming months.
Ewun & Evol Intent have been touring North America for over 2 years both together and separately. They have collaborated on countless musical projects over the years. Many of which have been signed to some of the industries most prestigious labels. It is our pleasure to offer this tour to the European scene to witness for yourselves what has earned them the success and made them the sensations they are today in the global drum'n'bass community. Promoters act quickly dates are filling up extremely fast!

Otto von Schirach
Take Electro Bass Noise, Gore Grind, IDM Glitch, Calliope, Breakcore Gabber Jungle, Gangsta Rap, mix them all together and what you get? Otto Von SchirachÕs Maxipad Detention of course!
Otto, der romantische Zehenschnueffler ist ein waschechtes Kind des Staates Florida. Mit deutschen Wurzeln und entfernter Verwandtschaft mit Baldur von Schirach, ehemaliger NS-Reichsjugendfuehrer und verurteilter Kriegsverbrecher. Doch mit all dem hat er nichts am Hut. 1978 geboren, lebt Otto in Miami inmitten von hispanischen Nachbarn, und seine Vorlieben sind offenbar ganz anderer Natur.
Ein Blick auf seine Webseite zeigt persoenliche Fetische wie eben Fue§e, Latex oder hohe Hacken. Daneben generiert er Musik am heimischen Mac. Elektronika der definitiv anderen Sorte. "The Gangster Of DSP", wie er auch von anderer Seite schon betitelt wurde, tobt sich exzessiv am Schnipsel-Sampling verschiedener Sounds aus, er fabriziert verzerrt-verstoerendes DSP-Gebroesel, digitales Hardcore-Geknusper mit nicht selten dunklem Anstrich. Auch schon mal Darktronics genannt. Manchmal scheint es, als wolle er seine Hoerer bewusst vor den Kopf sto§en. Zu seinen musikalischen Vorbildern und Einfluessen zaehlt Otto von Schirach unter anderen Mr. Bungle, Phoenecia, Kool Keith, Easy E, ... und das sind noch die bekanntesten.
Viele seiner bisherigen Veroeffentlichungen erscheinen auf Schematic, einem in Miami beheimateten Indielabel. Aber auch in good old Europe kann Otto von Schirach eine Fangemeinde vorweisen. Dazu zaehlen Ellen Allien, die einen seiner Tracks auf ihre Weiss-Mixcompilation einbaut, und Miss Kittin, fuer deren erste Single "Professional Distortion" aus dem "I Com"-Album er einen Remix beisteuert. Daneben arbeitet von Schirach mit Skinny Puppy zusammen. Fuer ihre Platte "The Greater Wrong Of The Right" uebernimmt er Programmierung und Sounddesign. 2004 begleitet Otto von Schirach Skinny Puppy auf ihrer US-Tournee und veroeffentlicht im Herbst des gleichen Jahres sein viertes Album "Global Speaker Fisting". [quelle: www.laut.de]
Beat Loaf aka Balazs Pandi plays drums for 13 years, played accordeon for 6, and got recently into contemporary electronic music. He«s currently playing in chief rebel angel, human error, hippikiller and the keszei/prell/halmos/pndi quartett, but also doing lots of collaborational stuff... -he runs fucktothemusic booking agency for 6 years, and books the club suess fel nap and some other stuff at trafo, house of contemporary arts.
miyara supasaiyajin
vor kurzem verschlug es miyara supasaiyajin nach oesterreich, nicht des mozartkultes wegen, sondern der liebe halber. wie lange er hier ohne aufenthaltserlaubnis verweilen kann, ist ungewiss...solange alp.traeume x_esstieren wird er trommelfaelle loesen, Schurken demaskieren und oede breax auffrisieren. Gaebe es ein Genre mit der bezeichnung nappy s/m.art:core, er waere ganz weit vorne angefuehrt, gleich neben seinen vorbildern nannymaniac und der njl, frei nach dem ethos "break da core". duerfte er ein instrument sein, waere er gerne eine mpc mit einem integrierten theremin, die traum-wandlerisch sampelnd durch den aether wirbelt...doch ist er nun ein mensch, im naechsten moment verschwunden, zum zombie erkoren, den tod ueberwunden um mit ihnen zu tanzen, die ganze nacht nur schranzen.

Jon Gooch a.k.a. Spor obtained his name from one of the first set of samples he collected, entitled 'Spore Tactics', and a favorite piece of artwork by a friend, Karl Kwasny. However he soon dropped the "e" from the word to balance the arrangement of letters when displayed in a graffiti style. After a school friend introduced Jon to the world of Drum & Bass he began experimenting with software to create his own music.
Spor quickly attracted attention from big names in Drum & Bass, and finally secured a deal with one of the most revered labels in the industry; 'Renegade Hardware'. Much of his work was released through this label, and soon Jon began DJing sets. He has also released work under the name 'Final Reckoning' with Codex. Spor has since then been traversing the globe playing his music at clubs across the world. After a sucessful partnership with Renegade Hardware and Barcode Recordings, and a releases with Teebee's Subtitles Recordings, Spor and long-time friend Chris Renegade from Renegade Hardware launched Lifted Recordings with fellow dark Drum & Bass producers Unknown Error, Evol Intent and Ewun.
Vex'd are Jamie and Roly from London. Since putting out their first two releases on the Subtext imprint, Vex’d have gone from strength-to-strength, releasing their 2005 debut long player Degenerate on Mike Paradinas’ Planet Mu. The groundbreaking album instantly propelled the duo into the electronic music hall of fame - receiving plaudits from music journalists and radio Djs, winning over fans worldwide and setting the standard for quality electronics. Vex’d are currently wrecking heads and feet at clubs up and down the country, appealing to the disparate factions of drum and bass, breaks, dubstep and ambient with their signature sound, as futuristic as it comes and representing the next generation in forward thinking dubstep.

[Bpitch Control, Boysnoize / Berlin / DE]
“Musik ohne Lücken” war der Grund, warum Housemeister DJ werden wollte. In früher Jugend begleiten ihn Ikonen, wie die Pet Shop Boys, 2live Crew, Technotronic und klf.
Ende 1994 kommen dann Plattenspieler ins Haus und er beginnt mit der Mixtapeversorgung von Freunden, vorerst ... nun... pausenlos als DJ und mittlerweile auch als Liveact international unterwegs, bietet er nach eigenen Angaben: „Hypnotische Klangforschung im Tanzbereich mit Avangarde.Punk.”
Von seinen Sets kann man sich Techno und Elektro im besten Sinne erhoffen.
Das meistert er mit voller Hingabe zur Musik, und lässt den positiven Funken überspringen, den jede Party ausmacht.
Als Produzent auf Labels wie BPitch Control seit Jahren fixer Bestandteil der weltweiten Elektro/Minimal- Community.
Sein erstes Album “Enlarge your Dose“ ist im Oktober 2006 auf Boysnoize erschienen.

DMX Krew
[Rephlex, Breakin’ Records / London / UK]
Vier Alben, die auf Aphex Twins Rephlex Label veröffentlicht wurden, zahlreiche Singles für Rephlex, Breakin', Pharma und Gigolo Records, aber auch Remixe für die Gentle People, Biochip C, LeCar uvm. stehen für die Vielfalt in Ed DMX´s Schaffen. In letzter Zeit wurden vermehrt Brücken nach Detroit geschlagen - es folgten Produktionen mit DISCO D. und DJ NASTY, zwei jungen Vertetern der Detroiter Ghetto-Tech Szene. Ansonsten hat Ed ordentlich mit seinem eigenen Label Breakin´ Records zu schaffen, produziert unter diversen Pseudonymen für etliche Labels und tourt ganz nebenbei durch die Welt um als DMX Krew Partyvibes zu verbreiten.

Vicious Circle
[Renegade Hardware, Defcom / London / UK]
Inspired by the futuristic techy styles of the late 90’s coming from the likes of Bad Company, Konflict and the Virus/Prototype camp’s, Vicious Circle set about crafting there own distinct sound and networking with artists worldwide. Arriving at the Miami Winter Music Conference in March 04 armed with a handful of cd’s, the crew were pleasantly surprised to find their early work getting heavy Dj support from some of the scenes biggest names like Pendulum, Technical Itch and Keaton. Upon returning to the UK it was clear that now was the time to take the next step
..
So into 2005 and so far its been a big one the Circle, kicking off with an appearance in ATM magazine and an hour long guest slot on BBC Radio 1xtra adding to the already growing hype surrounding the crew. Releases’ wise its been a busy year too kicking off with ‘Apparition’ (Feat EBK) on Kryptic Minds Defcom label, followed by the minimal tech funk of ‘Doomtrain’ on Renegade Hardware’s ‘Guerrilla Warfare LP’ and the crews twisted remix of breaks don ILS single ‘Cherish’ on Distinctive. Also about to drop are ‘Shadrock’ feat. Corrupt Souls and ‘The Grudge’ with Chase & Status both on Renegade Hardware and of course the massive club smasher ‘Hellrazor’ with Universal Project on UP Recs.

Dylan
The Sultan of Sickness, Dylan needs no introduction when it comes to drum & bass. The past few years have seen this top DJ and Producer go from absolute strength to strength, not only producing consistently, but consistently good; proving him to be, without a doubt, one of the hottest talents in the scene.
Dylan began back in the Electro era buying records and mixing them up on a couple of budget turntables, He then followed the music and studied all the different genres, evolving from Electro to Hip Hop to House and finally, his life…Drum n’ Bass! Taking the obvious first step, Dylan played on the London pirate radio scene with long time friend B Key for many years. His shows were legendary, with exclusive track selections and plenty of added humour to keep the listeners entertained (…Dylan is definitely known as the prankster to his friends!). Dylan decided to turn his twisted mind to the production side of things, scraping the money together for his first studio set up, and started to master the sampler and computer with B Key. They would spend every hour possible getting to grips with the equipment, and soon had some tracks complete - which they played to Danny Breaks. This lead to the debut releases of Kosmos “Tighten Up” and ”Liquid Beats”. By then, Dylan had definitely caught the bug and hasn’t looked back since. He has continued to produce killer after killer including the anthem “Need You” with Ink, The“Inferno EP, Dominion and Penitentiary to name a few. Releasing on renown labels such as Metalheadz, Renegade Hardware, Outbreak, Cylon, Timeless, Moving Shadow, Droppin’ Science, Architecture, Musica, Biotic, XXX and has collaborated with a slew of top producers in the scene including Technical Itch, Friction, Paradox, as well as his own projects ‘Faith in Chaos’ alongside Robyn Chaos, and ‘The Four Horsemen’ together with Loxy, Keaton, and Ink.
Venetian Snares
Sein Äußeres lässt eher auf einen Hartmetaller schließen. Manch einer hält ihn allein wegen seiner Haarpracht und aufgrund des Bartwuchses gar für einen (rein) optischen Wiedergänger von Jesus Christus. Dabei bewegt sich Aaron Funk mit seinem Schaffen in ganz anderen Gefilden. Zuhause im kanadischen Winnipeg arbeitet Funk an Stücken experimenteller Elektronik, die für die IDM-Schublade geradezu prädestiniert ist. Einer angejahrten Etikette, die allerdings nur oberflächlich einer Umschreibung der Musik von Venetian Snares dient. Sein Sound bewegt sich auf der Basis eines geladenen Spannungsfelds von Hardcore-Jungle und Hochgeschwindigkeits-Drum'n'Bass.
Ein ungestüm erscheinendes, detailliertes Klangdesign mit einer bisweilen dunklen Atmosphäre, einem Sample-Irrsinn aus wild aneinander gereihten und verschachtelten Breaks, hektischen Snares aberwitzigen Basslines und grotesken Rhythmusmustern, deren produktionstechnische Mutationen fast schon manische Ausmaße annehmen, so dass die Bezeichnungen Drill'n'Bass bzw. Breakcore der Sache weitaus näher kommen als man zunächst denkt. In etwa vergleichbar mit Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Doormouse oder Duran Duran Duran. Was andere über ihn und seine Musik denken, darum schert sich Aaron Funk nicht wirklich. Es ist ihm schlichtweg egal. Seine Lebensgefährtin und seine Katzen liegen ihm da schon viel näher. Er zieht sein Ding durch und konzentriert sich aufs Produzieren.
Der Name Venetian Snares ist im Übrigen seinem speziellen Augenmerk für ein ausgeklügeltes Arrangement der Snaredrum geschuldet, die eine wichtige Rolle im Aufbau seiner Tracks einnimmt. Venetian Snares, venezianische Trommeln, so die Bezeichnung für ein Preset, das Funk für sich entdeckt und zum Programmieren nutzt. Seine musikalische Sozialisation wiederum wird zu Beginn durch das Klavier der Großmutter beeinflusst – der junge Funk geht jahrelang in den Klavierunterricht, ohne davon überzeugt zu sein. Wie das halt so ist. Ebenso gefallen ihm Titelmelodien diverser TV-Serien und der kanadische Sänger Gordon Lightwood.
Außerdem gibts da noch seine damals Punk hörende Mutter (D.O.A., Subhumans, Ramones, Dead Kennedys). Kein Wunder, dass Aaron Funk später Sachen wie Suicide und Joy Division hört und als Teenager in Punkbands spielt. Im Alter von 17 fängt er an, selbst Musik zu komponieren.
Mit dabei: eine Ladung Ghettoblaster und verschiedenste Geräuschen von Ampelanlagen, Mülleimern und anderen Gegenständen, die Klänge erzeugen, und die Funk zuvor in einer Art Fieldrecording auf Tape gebannt hat und mit seinem Recorder-Park unter großem Aufwand zusammenschustert. Das ändert sich, als er sich zunächst ein zum Sampeln geeignetes Delay-Pedal und dann einen Amiga 500 zulegt. Zusammen mit seinem Kumpel Dan experimentiert er mit musikalischen Entwürfen. Mittlerweile entstehen die Tracks von Venetian Snares vollständig am Rechner. Seine erste Platte "Shiver In Darkness" erscheint 2000 bei Isolate.
Als Mike Paradinas, Macher von Planet Mu, die 12inch "Greg Hates Car Culture" von Venetian Snares hört, verpflichtet er ihn für sein Label. Ab 2001 folgt jährlich mindestens eine Albumveröffentlichung auf Planet Mu bzw. Hymen. Damit ist er in der glücklichen Lage, durch die Musik seinen Lebensunterhalt zu bestreiten. Mit Klängen, die wirklich nicht jedermann Sache sind. Und das spricht wiederum für ihn.

Eye-D
Eye-D is a Dutch drum & bass DJ/producer from Goes, a small town in the south of the Netherlands. Eye-D released his first drum & bass record on Kultbox Records in 1998 and he has been one of the most successful producers from the Dutch scene ever since; with releases on seminal labels such as Ruff-Teck and Citrus and numerous collaborations with DJ Hidden, Black Sun Empire, Noisa, Counterstrike and Evol Intent. Eye-D's productions have resulted in many record releases on a variety of international labels and plenty of DJ performances across the globe. Eye-D's background in hardcore/gabber results in some unique flavoring in both his DJ sets and his tracks. Expect his sets and tracks to be hard-edged but still very effective on the dancefloor.
Started out as a hardcore producer in 1992 and didn't really get serious about DJ-work until 1996 when a promoter asked him to play a DJ set at an event in Amsterdam. Although he had done live PAs before, Eye-D initially wanted to stay away from spinning, but he was instantly hooked after his first set. Eye-D has since played at events across the globe in Austria, Belgium, England, France, Germany, Luxemburg, Poland, Scotland and the United States.
He has produced for the following record labels: PRSPCT Records (The Netherlands); Evol Intent Recordings (USA); Ruff-Teck Records (The Netherlands); Citrus Records (The Netherlands); Piruh Recordings (The Netherlands); Soothsayer Recordings (USA); Def Wish Records (UK); Semiconscious Media (USA); Fear Records (USA); Ghetto Safari (USA); Low Res Records (USA); Black Monolith Breaks (USA), and Kultbox Records (USA).
Shroombab
Barbara Wimmer alias Shroombab, in Österreich aufgewachsen, entdeckte etwa 1996 ihre Liebe zu Drum’n’Bass. Kurz darauf begann sie für das deutsche Breakbeat-Magazin als Redakteurin und startete ihre eigene Radio-Sendung „electronic vibes“ bei Radio FRO. Im Studio beehrten sie regelmässig Gast-DJs, die ihr die Inspiration gaben, sich selbst ins DJ-Handwerk zu stürzen. Anfang 2000 traf sie auf MC Terra, mit der sie die Junglistic Sistaz gründete, anfangs eine Drum’n’Bass-Crew, jetzt eine erfolgreiche Datenbank für weibliche Drum&Bass-Akteure. Bald darauf bespielten die zwei Ladies Clubs in ganz Österreich und auch Europa. Mittlerweile stand Shroombab in 24 Ländern weltweit und mehr als 700 Clubs hinter den Turntables, meist als Headliner, aber auch als Support für Acts wie Dillinja, DJ Storm, Makai, Bad Company, Mickey Finn, sowie Fauna Flash. Sie ist bekannt für ihre abwechslungsreichen Sets, mit einer Mischung aus deepen Basslines und atmosphärischen Breakdowns.
Abgesehen von ihrer Tätigkeit als DJ und Journalistin, ist Shroombab auch als Musik-Produzentin umtriebig. Seit 2000 arbeitet sie an ihren eigenen Tunes. Ihre erfolgreichsten Produktionen stammen aus ihrer Zusammenarbeit mit Polarity, einem Produzenten aus Mannheim, mit dem sie bis 2004 ein Team bildete. Im März 2002 startete Shroombab das Label „High Tension Recordings“, welches ihren Sound international verbreitete. Wenig später konnte man ihre Tunes in Sets von Andy C, Nicky Blackmarket, Aphrodite u.a. Drum’n’Bass-Grössen hören. Die jüngsten Tunes wurden von Labels wie Urban Takeover (UK), Protogen Rec. (GER), Urbadon Rec. (USA), Thermal Rec. (USA), und Trickdisc (A) gesignt.

DJ Scotch Egg
Brighton noise musician and promoter Shiez 2000 was kept busy for many years with circuit bending Casio keyboards and pouring drinks for his next door neighbour SHITMAT. Not long ago he was contacted by a manufacturer of microwaveable delicacies (who shall remain nameless) needing some underground noise music credibility for their latest range. However, overindulgence in the heavily treated foreign foodstuff left Mr. 2000 with a bad attitude and much excess aggression. Concerned, ADAADAT's resident music therapist encouraged him to channel this negativity into live performance. DJ SCOTCH EGG was born. 2 Gameboys, a Megaphone and a shouting Japanese Man. He's not a DJ; he's definitely not Scottish and he's probably not an egg.
Tim Exile
Born in 78, played violin for a bit, sang in choirs, acted in plays, played in orchestras, was a good boy apart from getting caught smoking once, DJed for a bit, got into messing around with synths/tape machines, FX etc which was way more fun than DJing, jacked in the DJing, got a sampler, made house, made odd-beat, made drum & bass, did a degree in philosophy, released various drum & bass tunes between 99 and 2004ish on labels such as Moving Shadow, Beta Recordings, Renegade Hardware, Frequency, heard my music on the wireless, decided I was a 'musician', did an MA in electroacoustic composition, made karaoke backing tracks in exchange for bread, rent and fine English cheeses, made some music designed especially for things that move inside a television, got into making tweaked out music which was way more fun than drum & bass, jacked in making drum & bass, released an album of tweaked out music on Planet Mu (Pro Agonist, 2005), moved to Brighton for salty water and pooing seagulls, made a machine for improvising and performing tweaked out music in a manic gabbaret style which was way more fun than making tweaked out music in a studio, jacked in making tweaked out music in a studio, programmed some more machines that did cool things, recorded an album of entirely improvised and tweaked out music from all the gigs I did round Europe/The World last year which comes out in May 2006 on Planet Mu entitled 'Tim Exile's Nuisance Gabbaret Lounge'.
N>E>D
Official Warp DJ and Overkill head honcho, N>E>D has been performing laptop DJ sets around the world for the past 6 years. Ned has played many of Warp showcase audio-visual mega raves and spits on your worthless excuse of an acid party!
Ultre AV
Ultre is Finn McNicholas, a 24-year-old musician from Northern England who started his musical career performing in "loud bands" in the independent music scene. His evolving interest in sound design and composition spawned an obsession for creating solo computer compositions with the hope of becoming a film composer. Computer animation, graphic design and digital media proved to offer a complimentary avenue for artistic expression.
Over a period of ten years, Finn has progressed playing home made instruments hewn from metal and wire, composing music for TV, PSP, short film and performing audiovisual shows throughout Europe. Ultre has already made an impact on the live circuit playing his energised and beautiful sets with the likes of (Chris) Clark, Tim Exile, Freeform, Carsten Nicolai and Max Tundra. He has performed live visuals alongside Squarepusher, Aphex Twin and Plaid with Flat-e. Finn's animation work is used as a part of the on going Warp works & 20th Century composers tour which has reached Europe's most prestigious venues.
Flat-E
This exciting collective have a knack for producing stunning film work, animations and graphics has led to them being forerunners of the VJ scene in the UK and Europe. With a fresh approach to live visual production, the Flat-e/Warp collaboration has entertained in clubs and concert halls of Britain and Europe. Be sure to watch their films on http://www.flat-e.com/category/film !
