disko404 & COTN @ Four Elements Festival
Milanese [Planet Mu, Warp / UK] feat. Ben Sharpa [Pioneer Unit, Sharpaganda / ZA]
Amtrak [Bass or Die, Tiefparterre / Wien]
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)
> DrumÕs Not Dead (2006)

Ein Varietprogramm besteht aus einer kleineren oder gr§eren Anzahl von Darbietungen, die fr die gemeinsame Veranstaltung mosaikartig zusammengesetzt werden, wobei jede fr sich eine knstlerisch geschlossene Einheit mit Anfang und Ende bildet.
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.

BunZer0has been djing for more than 15 years and is one of the most respected personalities in the dubstep-scene.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Die experimentellen Bilderwelten von Florian Absenger aka. Naritia haben schon viele Veranstaltungen in Graz und Wien visuell bereichert. Abstrakte Fragmente, Figuren im Comic-Style und aktuelle Newsvideos jagen über den Screen bis sich der Pattern mit neuen Fragmenten wiederholt. Sein ganz eigener Stil macht ihn in der Visuals-Szene unverwechselbar.

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.

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".

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.

Housemeister
on “Enlarge your Dose“- Album Tour
[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.

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.
