Hello humanoids, out on Friday 16th May 2008ROBO CAST 21Love Will Tear Us Apart
The best original electronica from around the globe is now ready for your listening pleasure.You can STREAM or DOWNLOAD the show for FREE from - http://www.robocastradio.podomatic.comHere's a list of the fantastic artists for this show: -ARTISTS / TRACKS / LINKSHALO EFFECT - Things Fall Apart
At the beginning of 90's, while the Grunge wave ruled everywhere, Alessandro Polinori and Federico Rosi gave birth to several musical projects wholy electronics named Puppets and Electro Alba, whose main musical reference was the great Depeche Mode. Years and years of concerts and demo-tapes led them to accumulate more and more experiences in the musical roman landscape and not only, until the bands split for inner reasons. Later on Alessandro Polinori resumed his musical activity in the electronic band Kaiser Soze (among other things winner in the Festival Feedback and protagonist in several DM Parties), while Federico Rosi had gone on with several other projects. When these band split, in the autumn 2001 the project HALO EFFECT born in Ostia Lido Rome, with the line up compound by Alessandro Polinori (synth&progr), Federico Rosi (synth&progr) and John Peverieri (vocals&lyrics), big fan of Depeche Mode and always present at dark and electronic roman clubs. The band's aim is to create an original electronic product even remaining clear the artstic references (first Depeche Mode and generally the german electronic music, synthpop, darkwave and EBM ). The lyrics are in english in the conviction that that language, together with german, is the best language that fits well with the electronic music, allowing at the same time to have an international product. The atmospheres go from synthpop to darkwave always marked by dark shades, even when the rates go faster. During their live performances HALO EFFECT play many Depeche Mode tracks, as a proper tribute to the band they literally adore. On this subject, the wonderful debut gig on april 17th 2003 is worth to be mentioned, when HALO EFFECT took part in the 1st Great Depeche Mode 013 Electric Zone Party before an audience of 600 persons in the historic roman club Black Out. The collabaration with the first italian site about Depeche Mode (www.depechemodeitalia.com) has allowed to Halo Effect to meet Marco Cattani who was involved, with his guitar, in the Black Out live show and now he is integral part of the band as guitarist and also synth&progr. The first demo "Past Continuous" was out in the August 2003 and it was good welcomed by the audience. From then on Halo Effect shared the stage with important bands of the international landscape as Melotron, The Cruxshadows, Greenhouse, De/Vision and Bloody Dead & Sexy, in DM Parties context, but above all in many events in which they showed original tracks. The live activity is gone on with many concerts in roman clubs and with fortunate concerts in Naples and in Igea Marina (Rimini). At the end of June Halo Effect have finished to record their second demo titled "Days Of Silence" that is possible to download from the site www.the-cure.it or directly in the audio section of the offcial band site www.haloeffect.too.it. At the moment Halo Effect are promoting their new work in their live shows together with, of course, some new Depeche Mode covers. Though the hard live activity that will lead them to open the concert of the italian historic band KRISMA, Halo Effect are now working on some new tracks that will take part in their first album.
THE STATICFIELD - Planet Erde (Planet Earth) http://the_staticfield.myownmusic.de http://www.myspace.com/thestaticfield 
About The Staticfield The Staticfield There is a new name occurring amongst the avantgarde of electronic music : The Staticfield. But what is The Staticfield ? The Staticfield is a musical project for redefining the character of ambient music. Non mainstream, just electronic music from the real source : the heart. The Staticfield stands for unique and special sounds with a deep flowing atmosphere, that’ll catch you in a hypnotical spiderweb of soundwaves and acoustic sensations. Emerging from nowhere, The Staticfield has already created an own musical sphere beyond all known modern standards, and leaves all categories behind. It’s a sound, newborn and dramatically authentic. Rootsy, by the real meaning of this word : with a deep sense for love and feeling. ERIK BJORN in collaboration with SHMUKZ GALAXY - Echo Roadtrip http://www.myspace.com/bjornsoul http://www.soundclick.com/erikbjorn + SHMUKZ GALAXY http://www.myspace.com/shmukz From Belgrade, Serbia Yugoslavia 
Erik Bjorn is a funk and soul singer/guitarist/songwriter from the midwest. Playing a hybrid of funk,soul ,r n b,hip hop, rock,blues and roots,psychedelic,and indie ... he has kind of created another style through defining his own interpretation of all those various forms of music(or at least attempted to do so).... make your own opinion.hope you like what you hear! Peace, E. News - Erik is working on full length studio album.To be released late summer 2008. FINE TIME - Indian Muslim 
"Fine Time consists of the two chameleonic musicians Tom Time (Drums, Percussions, Synths, Sequencing a.o.) and Phil Fine (Guitar, Bass, Samplez, Synths and Vocs). From time to time some guest-musicians like the gifted young songstress Charlène and "Mister Bubbleizer" TooFaze from the band Last Equinox joining the band. To pigeonhole this band is an almost impossible mission. Their repertoire stretches across New Wave/Age, Electronic-Body-Music, Ambient Sounds to the point of Reggae-rhythms. A sound that has not been heard since the 80's. They mix modern sequencer-sounds with samples and conventional instruments like drums/percussions, guitar or bass-guitar. The musical results of this fusion are absolutly unique. The whole thing is rounded out by ambitious, political and sociocritical lyrics, which seemed to be extinct since the 70's. An innovative project, which clarifies the change of the music-biz."!!! OUT NOW: !!!

GARY HUNTER (reworked by FUTURE DAZE) - The Glimmer Man
http://www.myspace.com/garyhuntermusic http://www.soundclick.com/garyhunter http://www.futuredaze.co.uk http://www.myspace.com/futuredaze.co.uk Fantastic John Foxx inspired track called The Glimmer Man by Gary Hunter. Gary (Manchester, UK) has been working via electronic communication with Ian (Redditch, UK) from FUTURE DAZE to create this new reworking of Gary's track. Ian has mixed the track, adding his own vocal version and additional synth elements, sweeps and effects. This little project has worked really well. Our first collaboration :)
Gary has recently completed the immence task for recording his own tribute CD to the wonderful Kraftwerk. Robo Cast Radio have lucky enough to hear the album in full and it's fantastic. Due to copyright "potential" problems we do not play any cover versions on the show. In some respects this is a shame as the album is fab.Below is a quick summary review of the album from Gary Wright of NEON (another Kraftwerk expert). I was lucky enough to be one of the few to recieve a copy of Gary Hunter's "Music By Design" CD a tribute to Kraftwerk. Being a huge fan of the dusseldorf maestros since 1975 I am always excited to hear other's interpretation of their music, so when I heard Gary was to do a cd I was hoping to get to listen. So now I can get to review it in all it's glory. In conclusion then. Gary's tribute to Kraftwerk is a fine piece of electronic music done by someone who is clearly a real fan of the Menshe Machines. His love of the original comes through in every one of these tracks and he should be very proud of what he has achieved here, I know I would be if it was me. 10/10 - Well done Gary......(Robo Cast Radio seconds that!!) The new FUTURE DAZE album MIXED SYNTHETIC MESSAGES is out now - http://www.futuredaze.co.uk/products.html JON TEKNIK - Radio Station http://www.jonteknikmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/jonteknik 
Several highly recommended CD's are available from the website - Intuitive Scientists e.p. CD, Tones From Home (1994-1999) CD album, Testing The Echo e.p CD 
Jonteknik has been creating electronic music since 1988 when he discovered Kraftwerk and Jean-Michel Jarre. Back then the music was created on an Amiga computer with a tracker program. Soon progressing through Cubase on the Atari ST and finally finding the joy of Apple Mac, Jonteknik started with Logic and now uses Pro-tools LE with a variety of soft synths and plug-ins. The first release came in 1994 on Desy Balmer's 'Nice & Nasty' label. This was the 'Tanzmusik e.p' created up in Manchester's 'Out of the Blue' studio, now sadly gone. Jonteknik joined forces with Kraftwerk enthusiast Mark 'Staggman' Stagg and Andy Sturmey who is responsible for many of Jontekniks CD cover images. Gaining respect from the press, such as Melody maker, Future music, Music Technology, MT and The Mix, Jonteknik was crafting his own sound around the heavy influences of those great pioneers from Düsseldorf. It was soon discovered by the world's coolest Belgian and writer/producer Pascal Gabriel who helped Jonteknik sharpen production skills. Pascal introduced Jonteknik to Claudia Brücken. They both corresponded by post. A simple demo was recorded around 1993 called 'Ohm from ohm'. Jonteknik also had the pleasure of meeting up with Holly Johnson in the mid 1990's. A few ideas were put together and there was a lot of music chat. Holly showed Jonteknik that songs worked with the right structure. An acoustic performance of 'Relax' and 'Love train' demonstrated this exactly! More recently Jonteknik worked with Paul Humphreys and Claudia Brücken on their 'Onetwo' project. Jonteknik co-wrote and co-produced several tracks and even dabbled with lyrics. One of the highlights for Jon was getting to program percussion and synths on a track that has Martin Gore from Depeche Mode on guitar! It was a hard time for Jon as issues beyond his control were making life complicated. To this day Jon holds the times of working with Paul Humphreys as a great memory, especially creating 'The theory of everything'.
Now Jon looks towards the future and as well as working with vocalists/writers on a brand new album, there are releases of older material being released to introduce you to the sound of Jonteknik.ISAVIS - Nightwalkerhttp://www.isavis.com http://www.myspace.com/isavisplanet

Hello people and welcome to my page, here is some form of a Biography to let you know some history about my musical self, im Gary Taylor, an Icelandic/English hybrid, based in Birmingham/Reykjavik, i started making music from an early age, inspired by the original music of the time, Punk, New Wave, Reggae, Electro Pop, Disco, Funk, playing drums on cardboard boxes and tins writing lyrics and singing with friends in my parents Garage (we thought we were a real Band), from there on i played on whatever Home keyboard, Piano, Organ i could lay my hands on, always dreaming of Synthesizers and Studios and being rich and famous (Not the case now i may add), over time i made music with my friends at home on simple old School Yamaha and Casio keyboards with added drums (you know the ones with a button for drum fills), we added taped recordings of cool phrases from Video Films of the day (yes it was the 80's and its called Sampling and Editing now), this was the start of my creative approach to music, i started DJ'ing around this period, Scratching, Mixing up Tapes and general madness on the Turntables which i still involve in my music from time to time, then came the 90's and i worked and played hard and bought myself my first Home Studio, i worked under the name of Solid Dawn and built up a good back catalogue of ideas and Demos all the time working harder on my DJ live set performances, this is where i really learnt what music was all about, people, gatherings, inspiration, new technology and attitudes and different approaches to making music, for me another perfect building block, then when the millennium came i started teaching myself more musical skill, production, engineering, everything about the musical process i could find out about, i also went back to college to learn more about music production, now i feel the time is right for people to hear my music and sounds, with the added confidence and mobility the Internet brings ive started my Alba Beat project up here on myspace, so there we have me in a nutshell people all up to date, im sorry this Biog didn't last that long or not, but i do hope you will enjoy what im doing here, keep in touch, Peace, Gary, Alba Beat.

The Colour of Time - No More White Roses
© 2008 J.H.C. O'Callaghan (634479776007) (format: CD-R). A collection of electronic techno rock pop making use of Theremin, electric violins and analogue synthersizers with Celic mystique and electronic art music. Available from CDBaby - http://cdbaby.com/cd/colouroftime8Emerging from rich, melodic waves of synth washes & echo laden vocals the Colour of Time's signature sound is a cerebral, mood driven mixture of styles. The audible influence of Tangerine Dream, Cabaret Voltaire & early Ultravox blurs into shadowy reminiscence of Dead Can Dance defining a sound which falls somewhere between the early output of labels such as 4AD, ON-U Sound and Waxtrax. Between 1998 & 2006 Jamie O'Callaghan has embarked on a musical voyage embracing a legacy of electronic & classical influences ranging from Debussy to Kraftwerk. With a strong musical background rooted firmly in classical origins his first solo work came from a symphonic / progressive rock angle receiving accalim in the pages of dutch prog-rock magazine IO. Inspired to continue along similar lines Jamie enlisted the help of Hans Schepens and around 2001 The Colour of Time was formed in Eindhoven. An intitial 'Queen's Day' live performance was followed by their first recorded album 'Jazz, but not as we know it'. COT's next studio outing, 'Let the machine talk' maintained a progressive edge with a nod to the cold, mechanical rhythms of John Foxx. Evidence of another strong influence on COT's music is present here. Another native live appearance at the Muzenval Theatre in Eersel was followed by the third album 'Amber Skies'. Emerging idealogical differences between Hans Schepens & Jamie O'Callaghan lead to a split in 2003 leaving Jamie to pursue COT as a solo project. 2004 brought the recording of 'Neon', a collection of sparse instrumental offerings edging toward the dancefloor. After returning from a solo tour of the Czech Republic COT performed electronic renditions of Debussy & Satie pieces at a charity event organised for victims of the atrocities of Beslan. Encore performances of Ultravox classics Hiroshima Mon Amour & Just For a Moment were well recieved by all in attendance. After the loss of a friend to cancer in early 2005 COT ceased production until Jamie re-established contact with an old colleague in the UK, John Curry. They collaborated to record 'Long Ago' produced in the Netherlands & the UK. Maintaining the characterisitic COT sound Long Ago has a broader oulook offering upbeat energy & thoughful moments. It also marks a return to vocal territory with compliments of sitar, violin & lusher production all round. John Curry has since remained part of the COT Line up. 2006 has seen a fresh line up for COT and 2 new recordings. Neon Winds, recorded in February, is an ep awash with ambient panoramas of vintage synth & hypnotic, female vocal drones. A substantial taste of the mellower moments glimpsed in previous releases. Memories of Water, completed in August is the newest collection of compositions and alongside Neon Winds possibly COT's strongest to date. Jamie O'Callaghan has recently composed 'theremin concertos with Orchestra' for the Theremin soloist Lady Sayoko of Japan. He is also recording new material for another musical project A Better Blue.
The Colour of Time are:
Jamie O’Callaghan: Voice, Theremin, electric violin/viola, electronics Sitar
Linda Swinkel: Voice

GIRLS THAT SCREAM - Offend Everyone http://www.myspace.com/girlsthatscream 
Girls That Scream began as a social experiment in 2004, when the government decided to run a series of simple experiments to clarify just how hard young people can party. After several hundred different party aids were administered, participants of the study were gathered in a dancehall. For the next thirty minutes, Girls That Scream were sent onto the stage to perform. The results of the study are said to be so terrifyingly disturbing they have never been released, to this day the government refuses to admit to whether these experiments actually ever took place. It is thought Girls That Scream have stolen the party aids and are planning something quite sinister and evil against the scene you know, the scene you love, the scene you eventually will abandon. SILVER FACTORY SUPERSTARS - http://www.silverfactorysuperstars.com http://www.myspace.com/silverfactorysuperstars 
Mark Johnson is one of Britain's brightest pop music hopes. His traditional English pop songsongs sear with melodies and captivate with heart felt lyrics. If you were to mix synthpop, epic orchestral swirls, an occasional guitar, then you will have Silver Factory Superstars. CRASH REPEAT - October http://www.myspace.com/crashrepeat 
Crash Repeat are a two-piece live electro band. Often improvising, they bring together a range of techno and 80's synth influences alongside busy rhythms, eclectic drum loops and weird vocals. Smitt and Crossen met in 2003 at one of Birmingham’s many depressing admin offices. Between shuffling papers they decided to collaborate on some progressive dance tracks and worked together on and off whilst Crossen, a keyboard musician and would-be producer since the age of 12, also made music for independent films and produced music for other bands. Eventually, in January of 2005, they joined up on a more permanent basis with two other artists to form electro-funk band ‘Jamaha Fut’. After a short run Jamaha Fut broke up but Smitt and Crossen, encouraged by their new sound, continued to work together under the name Crash Repeat. Stu has come a long way since his first 8 track sequencer and now spends almost every free minute programming new loops and sounds into an array of synthesizers and processors. When not dancing to Breakbeat or Techno, Smitt writes lyrics linked closely to his interests outside of the band, bringing together seemingly random subject matter, including everything from comic books to politics. During live sets they keep a loose improvised feel to the proceedings, Crossen develops the beats, bleeps and rhythms from behind his equipment whilst Smitt leaps about, energized by the music, keeping the crowd on their toes. They’ve played together now in a few placed across the West Midlands, recently taking part in a ‘Battle of the Bands’. Now they’ve got their eyes fixed on the dance-floors of Birmingham and the Black Country, eager to play for those with an ear for non-commercial, unconventional electro-techno. THE $HIT - The New Black http://www.shitmusic.co.uk/ http://www.myspace.com/shitmusic 
The $hit are the FIRST, BEST and ONLY Electro-Punk Casio-Crunk Fuck-Rock Glitch-Pop Disco-Metal Post-NintendoCore beat combo in the world... EVER! Armed with an array of cheap electronic instruments and an even cheaper wardrobe, The $hit have dragged their shambolic live show kicking and screaming across the UK - from triumphantly storming Oxford's TRUCK FESTIVAL to causing chaos at a London fashion week catwalk show and generally kicking the brains off kids all over the country, destroying stages with the likes of MC LARS, TO MY BOY, TRASH FASHION, SIMON BOOKISH, and GOLDIE LOOKIN CHAIN, leaving a trail of tinnitus and a number of very unhappy soundmen in their wake. Their first demo, recorded with only a minidisc player, an Argos mic and an Atari ST, was placed in the top 5 of PLAYLOUDER.COM's singles of the week, and future demos received radio airplay from RADIO 1 and KERRANG! FM. In the summer of 2006, their debut album 'Lock Up Your Ghettoblasters!!!' - recorded in a ramshackle home studio and released on their own DIY label - Shit Music - was released to rip-roaring reviews across the internet, national press and fanzines across the globe. Oh, apart from two people who hated it. Now, as they release their new EP to the world, The $hit are rocking HARDER, FASTER and LOUDER than ever before, and the foursome of Brian International, Queen Phuz, That Bloody Cat, and... um... D@V£ are getting ready to absolutely pwn brains all over the world. It's time to get with the program... before the program gets you. Various released are available to buy from the site.

Uploaded by futuredazeAMONGST THE PIGEONS feat FRANK TURNER - Larkin About http://www.melon.org.uk/atp/ http://www.myspace.com/amongstthepigeons 
From humble beginnings Amongst The Pigeons grew forth from the internet forums of yesteryear. Music took hold and recognition was quickly gained on the airwaves of Radio One thanks to Rob Da Bank. A successful EP ’wings wings: beat’ was released in Summer 2005 which included Firefly and the classic la la la la la laa song. Shorty after this CAT went into a studio to work on new tracks. Hiding Began. That solitude will soon be over when the 1st LP proper will be released towards the end of 2008. It features not only blips and beats but some rather special guest vocalists. Currently running with a working title of ’music to brush your teeth to’ its gonna be a good old listen.
DANIEL LAMBERT - If We Combined http://www.mp3.com.au/DanielLambert http://www.myspace.com/lambertsound 
The Entranced Compilation EP, can now be heard in full at, Dan’s mp3.com.au, where the tracks can also be downloaded individually. Click on "view all" in the player to access the EP. They’ll be a zipped direct download of the entire EP up this weekend. This wasn’t written as an EP, so as the title says, it’s an assortment of tracks written for whatever reason. I opted against re mastering it, and the tracks are all in their original form, so levels may vary etc. I kept it raw, and just threw them in there. This EP contains 7 of the better known tracks to have at one time or other appeared on my myspace page last year, along with the brand new "Entranced - one in a million rmx".
The track listing is:
1. Entranced - one in a million rmx
2. The World
3. More Rope To Hang Me
4. Entranced - musSck RMX
5. Trust
6. All I Had To Work With
7. There It GoesGARY HUNTER - Stranger In A Room http://www.myspace.com/garyhuntermusic 
had Gary has had a very keen interest in music for many years. Synthesizers have fascinated since I first heard them on records by Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, OMD, Ultravox, The Human League and Depeche Mode. It was in the late 80's when I decided to write my own songs. I formed a studio band with a good friend of mine Ray Naughton and things clicked into place very quickly and we wrote and recorded around 20 songs in a similar style to OMD & Erasure (Vince Clarke has been a big influence with my Synthpop music probably, the biggest influence of all). They were very raw recordings made on a cheap Amstrad 4 track recorder. From there I progressed on to using an Atari computer and sequencer software packages alongside a Drum Machine. I recorded more electronic pop material and also some video soundtrack music. I wanted to develop my skills in creating music utilising computers and have recorded about 8 or 9 Cds of material using Samples, Drum Loops and Drum Machines. The music in this field covers Dance, Trance, Chill-out & Hip Hop styles. This side of my work has been recorded under the name The Definition Of Sound. It is a collection of material I am very proud of. I have over the last 2 or 3 years returned to Synthesizers and re-recorded a lot of the material I did with Ray to a much higher standard and in addition I have written numerous new songs and done some cover versions. One cover version I have done is a track of OMD's called "Of All The Things We've Made". This was included on an american release tribute album called "We Love You 2". I am very proud that my version of the song was worthy of inclusion on the CD. My latest project is an interesting one as I have decided to record an album of Ambient/soundtrack Music and decided I would only use layered strings, Choir sounds and piano. It has resulted in me learning Cubase, a programme I have wanted to use for some time. So far 15 songs have been written and I am currently working at mixing those. Moby's ambient music has been the key influence with this material. I decided to send in 3 of the tracks to the BBC for inclusion on a natural history programme and whilst I was n't successful I did get through the first stages which I am very pleased about. The three songs sent to the BBC were called "The Long Goodbye", "Quiet Splendour" and "Broken Flowers". Gary recently produced various cover versions and artist inspired tracks from the likes of Krafterk, Gary Numan and John Foxx.

Synthetik – (Album)
CD - CDSTUMM228 - Released 25th June 2007
Track Listing - 1. International Space Station 2. Headphones and Ringtones 3. Breathing 4. Like a Bird 5. Synthetik 6. Blackie 7. Rain 8. Gloopy 9. Tokyo (we want to go to) 10. Satin traffic 11. Liquid Gold 12. What We DoABOUT KOMPUTER - Komputer is the project of two London-based synth-meisters: Simon Leonard and David Baker. The band have been writing, mixing and producing for 11 years now, and show no signs of slowing down, as the release of their new album "Synthetik" attests. Their sound is rigorously electronic and their tracks deal with such diverse subjects as: Russian cosmonauts, rubbish compactors and mobile phone ringtones. Musical antecedents and influences include Kraftwerk, Georgio Moroder, Syd Barrett and Brian Eno. Komputer has played and continues to play live gigs at festivals and clubs throughout the length and breadth of Europe; most recently in Turkey and Sweden. All the band's releases have been on Mute records, and it is their pleasure to have such excellent stable-mates as the likes of Motor, Depeche Mode, Laibach, Nitzer Ebb and Wire.
Komputer's debut album, “The World of Tomorrow" came out in 1998 and was a glorious assemblage of top-notch electro songs, conceptually a reaction against Oasis’ glorification of The Beatles, with Kraftwerk as heroes. Due to the band’s strict quality control, a further 2 albums worth of material never saw the light of day. Eventually their second album, "Market Led" was released in 2002. It was a glitchy, crazy slice of mittel-european electronica and owed its depths to the likes of Murcof and Pole.
"Synthetik", the third album, gradually evolved over a long period of time, the tracks being tried out in live sets then discarded or reworked in the studio. It finally matured into a return to the more traditional Electro sound of the first album, with the incorporation of a more experimental and contemporary electronica approach throwing the genre a few curves along the way. Enjoy.
Synthetik (2007) 'electronica at its most optimistic' > Market Led (2002) 'the year's most brilliantly scintillant and earnestly playful electronic album', 'sounds like the kind of music Robby The Robot from 'Forbidden Planet' would make' > The World Of Tomorrow (1998) 'kraftwerk's illegitimate offspring', 'endless doppelgangin' pleasure'

KREED.INC – Phib PJ ROSE – UpperABOUT PJ ROSE - “Manifesto” es el nombre que titula al primer material discográfico de un joven y prometedor artista que hace algunos años viene colándose en la escena electrónica mundial: PJ Rose. El disco se encuentra conformado por ocho canciones bailables que rozan por momentos el pop y lo alternativo, orientado tanto al reproductor casero como al dancefloor.
PJ Rose comenzó como un proyecto electrónico en el 2004. Eran necesarios sonidos innovadores que pudieran afectar de manera positiva a la cultura local bailable, fue así como dio a conocer sus primeras producciones en un EP editado en el 2005 que al día de la fecha está agotado. Sus recitales en formato electrónico comenzaron a producir buenas vibras a través de Buenos Aires y concretaron en el interés de artistas que lo tomaron en cuenta como un remixer que prometía mucho, en especial por su corta edad. Fue así como se encargó de remezclar a bandas nacionales como Intima (Hypnotic Loop Records) y Koolture (Eternal Sunday Records), ambos remixes editados digitalmente, al tiempo que participó del compilado Mata de la peluquería Prana. Este fue un pequeño gran paso que dio antes de remixar a los barceloneses The Pinker Tones quienes lo incluyeron en su disco de remezclas “More Colours!” editado en Argentina por Alerta Discos y en más de 50 países alrededor del mundo, compartiendo créditos junto a Zeta Bosio, Kinky, Capri y Daniel Melero entre otros.PROJEKT NEMESIS – On The Bring

Peace, ENews - Erik is working on full length studio album.To be released late summer 2008.SUBLAGRIMAL - Wall Of LamentationsLA GUERRA Y LA MUSICA INDUSTRIAL En principio se tiene que entender que la Música Industrial, parte de un concepto de hacer "música" con ruidos industriales de máquinas, las cuales fueron creadas por el hombre para obtener un mayor rendimiento en la vida cotidiana de los individuos y en las empresas. Se puede decir que la economia del mundo esta regida en el presente por las maquinas y podemos retomar que desde la revolución industrial en el siglo XVIII, esa a sido una formula que se ha utilizado en favor de las producciones en serie, acercandose a la perfección del producto y evitando un desgaste de Materia Humana. De la misma forma la Musica Industrial puede llegar a tener un alcance cercano a la perfección, donde el seriado se puede comparar con el transfondo ironico de la mercadotecnia musical, y tambien podemos retomar un menor desgaste de materia humana.EMBERG - March Of The Mechanoids

The main frame was : As I lost everything I became nothing more than a protocol.I used to feel so lonely i thought I became just a kind of flux of data a useless forgotten and odd protocol
sending 0 and 1 into the void. Then i took the name i'm wearing now : Data Uni†SKINMACHANIX - Overflight
SkinMeChaNIx began life in August 1999 as a short lived but prolific collaboration between T-Bass UK's Dave Hughes and avant-garde sound experimentalist, Skin. The objective was to get back to basics, to reclaim some of the joy of creating original music and to work with some new and previously untried techniques. The end product, we feel, was something very special indeed - dance rhythms fused with throbbing retro sequences and fiery electronic soundscapes, strong melodies and challenging arrangements, all welded together to form a magical melange and occupying a territory which was perhaps unique in the UK synth music scene.
Sadly, the SkInMeChaNIx collaboration folded very quickly and the session tapes remained untouched for three years before the project was finally resurrected in January 2002. However, because of a number of engineering issues, the early demo tapes proved virtually useless and so David Hughes began the task of re-recording and rearranging the source material to form the basis of a more commercial release.
These efforts proved highly successfull and the debut album from The Secret Life of Angels was released in September 2002. The album made its debut at Jodrell Bank Planetarium that month and the audience reaction was very positive and enthusiastic. After quickly gaining a number of excellent reviews and a great deal of airplay around the world, SkinMechanix continues albeit in a solo capacity.
Live concerts are now a regular feature. So far, SKinMechanix have performed at three concerts in the Awakenings series, two as the headline act. The disc Fallen Angel was recorded at the Awakenings concert in February 2005 and features both live and studio pieces. Fallen Angel was released as a limited edition disc in December 2005 and was sold out completely within two days. A revised version Fallen Angel: The second coming is current in preparation.The band remains highly active with new material emerging throughout 2006 and 2007 though no formal release date has been given for the new album.About Infection MusicThe company began life in 1999 as an outlet for interesting, melodic and accessible electronic music. T-Bass UK joined the roster in the same year and were immediately followed by avant garde outfit SkinMechanix. In 2001, the company branched out into designing its own musical instruments. The first instrument to emerge from nearly 4 years of R & D is the Zeit Step Sequencer. Check out http://www.infectionmusic.com/instruments for more information.

About The Peach Tree (Melbourne Australia) - The Peach Tree is the solo project of musician/writer/producer Angus Maiden. He believes in freedom of copyable information and encourages everyone to download his tracks for free. The project began began circa 2003 as school friends Angus Maiden and Michael Cooney's concept of a band; a band that would break genre barriers and reach across the music spectrum to touch a whole host of different individuals. The duo began writing songs together after they finished school and practised sporadically, but the dream of being up there on stage delivering their message always seemed faraway. Although both Cooney and Gus had their own songs that they brought to the table and also had songs that they wrote together, they never got around to recording anything together. Meanwhile a fire burned in Gus for their music to be heard, and in the next few years he actively recorded new material that he had written solo, and began to put it up on the net. But Cooney was skeptical of putting stuff out there that was frankly unrefined and amateurish. Gus, not wanting to filter what he felt was good, raw, plaintive material, put up the music he had written and recorded across a range of sites including mp3.com.au and Last.fm, almost as soon as they occured. From 2003 to 2006 the two kept their dream that they would form a "proper" band and start delivering their songs to local audiences. They continued to jam and officialy recruited new members, but never fully coalesced into a cohesive entity. Members of the "band" at one point reached 5 members: Cooney (guitar, vocals), Gus (guitar, vocals), Erin (bass), Sarah (synth, piano) and Bourkey (drums), but as people do, they all led busy lives and slowly, they dispersed. Angus kept at it, though, and today The Peach Tree can only truly be defined as his own solo project. He has released four albums and two EPs under the name. His sound derives from the massive range of influences he is exposed to, and includes everything from pop melodies to dance tracks, death metal epics, and rockin' blues tracks.

A brief history of SUGAR FIRE by Richard Dalby
In 2005, I was invited to take part in an 'Electronica Fest', and this sparked off a new period of writing, collaborating on several tracks with Grenadan born drummer & poet, Judah Allen. I was honoured to perform alongside two Classical Indian vocalists, Sarvamangala Shankar & Rashmi Manjunatha. Shantha Rao, the highly respected classical Indian dancer, also performed to a re-mix track featuring the vocals of David Sylvian. Their grace and sublime performances made it an incredibly special concert. In April 2006 I performed at the 'Concert for Tibet'. The line up again featured Judah Allen, as well as Mick West on trumpet and electric guitar. 
Richard Dalby, with the Khenpo of Shechen Monastery, Nepal, handing over donation raised from the 'Concert for Tibet' CD. I recently released my debut CD called 'Concert for Tibet'. It features performances from the 'Concert for Tibet', as well as 'Bhajan' with Rashmi & Sarvamangala's astonishing vocals, re-mastered studio tracks, and re-mixes by CalderValium& Chemical Monkey. All profits from the concert and CD are donated to humanitarian projects within Tibet. This CD is availble from the SUGAR FILE MYSPACE page.

ARTISTS / TRACKS / LINKS
PHI SEQUENCE – Falling
Falling
My most well-liked and well-received track on Soundclick. I thought about what it would be like to suddenly be pried from the belly of a plane and thrust out into the open a few miles from the ground. What would it sound like if you fell this great distance plummeting towards earth.
Band Page: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/phisequence
About – Phi Sequence
Solo, environmental, spacey, ambient, and dreamy, with some good beats and a little funkiness thrown in for good measure. Sometimes described as chaotic and manic. Always created out of love for form and ambience. You might like it, you might not. But you're always welcome to delve under the surface and see.
CIRCA – I know It’s Nothing
http://www.myspace.com/circapop
About circa
"circa" is the song based synth pop and 80's music influenced side project of "co-ordination." "circa" seemed to be the ideal name for this project as the songs were written and produced anytime between 1994 and now. In fact, some were written in 1994 but never sung until 2005 (when vocal auto tuning software was cheap enough to convince you that I can actually sing).
NASH THE SLASH – Shock Treatment
http://www.myspace.com/officialnashtheslash
Shock Treatment is from the 1999 album Thrash.
About Nash –
Nash the Slash has been creating his unique concept of sound and vision for over twenty years. His first live presentation of music to film was a performance to the surreal silent film Un Chien Andalou at the Roxy Theatre in Toronto.
Nash the Slash was born of silent film. The name comes from a killer butler encountered by Laurel and Hardy in their first film, Do Detectives Think (1927). Nash the musician has gone on to create the music scores for such recent cult films as Roadkill and Highway 61, both directed by Bruce McDonald.
Between experiments with film and music, Nash the Slash became a familiar name to music fans through his association with the pop electronic group FM. Having co-written the hit songs Phasors on Stun and Just Like You, Nash established his credibility as a versatile artist. His talents have been recognized with a U-KNOW (later called CASBY) award for best instrumental artist as well as a Juno nomination for best new male vocalist. Nash's profile was raised on the international stage when he toured the world with the likes of Gary Numan and Iggy Pop. Other high-profile shows include opening for The Who at C.N.E. Stadium in Toronto to a crowd of 70,000 people and opening for The Tubes at a sold-out Maple Leaf Gardens.
Nash has recently recorded new music for the silent film classics The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919), The Lost World (1925), and most recently his highly successful soundtrack to Nosferatu (1922), which he performed at the SKIF Music Festival in St. Petersburg, Russia. Nash continues to do unique film scores for other silent film classics, such as the original Phantom of the Opera.
Nash has released numerous solo albums, the best known being Children of the Night with the hit single Dead Man's Curve. Other albums include Decomposing, the first record playable at any speed (reviewed in Playboy Magazine, 1982); and American Bandages, a collection of all-American classics such as We're an American Band, Who Do You Love, and Psychotic Reaction.
You can find a detailed biography (1975 - 1979 / 1980 - 1989 / 1990 – 1999 / 2000 - ????) on the website http://www.nashtheslash.com/news/
New CD was released in March 2008!
IN-A-GADDA-DA-NASH
A collection of old cover songs for a new generation! Nash won't say why he did these songs, and few people can name the original artists. Suffice to say, the songs all have that 'Nash Touch' that brings out the raw essence of each track.
The songs are being added one at a time on http://www.myspace.com/officialnashtheslash Get a sneak preview of In-A-Gadda-Da-Nash now!
Coming Soon - Re-mastered ‘Blind Windows’. Nash's first recordings (1978-79) pumped to the max!
Nash Is Hot For Cold Blood!
Nash is currently composing the music soundtrack for a new crime re-enactment TV show called Cold Blood'. There will be 10 one-hour episodes and this project will take at least six months to complete. The show premieres in Canada on Global and in the UK on Channel 5 in September 2008.
KINETIK - Modem Musique
http://www.kinetik.fsnet.co.uk
http://www.myspace.com/kinetik1974
Kinetik were formed in 1994, evolving from the remains of Elektro-Kinetik, a band who had made a name for themselves through some well received sets at the Blackpool Kraftwerk Conventions in 1993 and 1994 where they played a selection of the Dusseldorfer's best loved tracks and attracted much praise from the attendees and electronic music press. Colin Jordan was born in London but moved to Pembrokeshire, Wales in 1984 to escape the big city bustle. Electronic Music had already made a big impression on him via the discovery of J.M. Jarre's 'Oxygene' in 1977 and soon discovered other influential artistes such T. Dream and Klaus Schulze. After purchasing a Korg MS10 synthesizer in 1980, Colin quickly built up an arsenal of (mainly analogue) gear and formed his first band 'Axxent Opaque' in the early 1980's. In 1985 Colin met up with Shirleyann Davies, a Pembrokeshire based woodwind teacher at a local music club in Tenby, West Wales. Shirleyann at the time was a successful woodwind soloist often playing on both radio and Welsh T.V. The two surprisingly found they shared an admiration for Kraftwerk and electronic music (Shirleyann had also purchased a Korg MS10 in the early 80's !). Spurred on by this, the pair began to collaborate on their own brand of music which eventually led through Paul Wilkinson, a mutual friend to an invitation to perform a set of Kraftwerk material at the conventions in Blackpool. Elektro-Kinetik was thus formed and was joined initially by David England (a much acclaimed artist who still contributes to Kinetik's CD artwork and computer graphics) as a guest on electronic percussion for the 1993 convention. In 1994, Simon Darvell, a music technology student stepped into David's shoes playing percussion and electric guitar ( ! ) for the following year's convention which pioneered the band's technique of synchronising computer generated images to their live music.
Kinetik's latest studio album MODEM TIMES (KCD10), based upon the
themes of communication and digital technology, is available to buy from their website.

Wide Open Mind 2008
Being connected. The world evolves at the same time as your own connections, to form complex network. Parts connect parts and elements of all kinds and all of it is shared.

It will be spread all over the environment and landscapes in all shapes, sizes, canvas or technologies. . 2008 is necessary to expand not only music itself though, but ideals of multi-cultural interaction.

Being acknowledge and noticed by several producers, promoters, radios and music-influent people as a big thing happening on the electronic music scenario, Wide Open Mind goes far beyond. This unique trio is formed by Paulo Tome (Main Producer), David Veiga (DJing and Sampler) and David Markan (Djing and Sampler) and has as part of the crew Jaime C (Designer) who is responsible for all of the Art Design and visual identity of Wide Open Mind. Mellow-mood, extremely musical, and soft-intentioned but yet with a Dancefloor aesthetics in mind, Wide Open Mind’s album tracks echoes around the world respectfully and independently on radio shows as BBC Robo Cast radio (UK), Ibiza Global Radio (ESP), Monday Jazz (LIT), Develop Radio (GER), 09 Sessions (UK), All FM (UK), Urban Landscapes (US), Sick Trumpet (UK), B sides (US), Migrations radio (Montenegro), Smooth Lounge Radio (US), Nova Radio show (Greece), Fusionova(ESP), IbizaSonica (ESP), NAB radio (USA) amongst others of the most important Nujazz, Lounge, IDM and Experimental radio shows in Europe and across the world.

- ZOON VAN SNOOK - The Gloaming
http://www.myspace.com/zoonvansnook
About Zoon Van Snook
After pending some time smear testing peacocks for the Lebanese government, I realized at the age of 24 that the truth was stranger, that is to say less prevalent, than fiction. I interpreted this to mean that it is fine to lie and subsequently bullshitted my way through the interview and before long they trusted me enough to leave me alone with the bodies!.......prison, is indeed, also stranger than fiction. A short period of my life was spent as a cartoon tramp in an attempt to try and solve the social issue of 2 dimensional sexual apathy among the flat-less. Up until this point, my life was like a badly written screenplay for a film about fuck all". The personal failings documented above (Taken from ‘The Chronicles of Zoon Van’ by T. Mallon) have led to and informed the compositions you are currently listening to. After prostituting his keyboard wares to numerous bands in the South west, the summer of 2007 saw ZVS taking bold measures in stepping out alone. A passion for Genre-Spanning melody, field recordings, found sound and electronics combined with the utility of guerrilla techniques (encompassing household objects) has spat ZVS face first into the sphere of criticism in the creation of affably sinister sonic sketches and ambionic audio montage. Currently working or collaborating with Malakai, Canola Tenderfoot, New Acoustics, Diego Chavez... So roll up for a musical journey of jousting and Onanism.
AGE OF JETS - Castrol GTX

A leap into the unknown
Mark Richardson of Age of Jets
Try and picture the love child of The Beta Band, Blur and Devo. Yes, that Devo. Welcome to the Age of Jets.
This electro-pop quartet, fronted by thirty-five year-old Hull, England native Mark Richardson is anything but ordinary. Compa- risons to Brian Eno and German electronic duo Kraftwerk created a buzz around the band four years ago that booked gigs at various venues throughout England, spurred the beginnings of a small following and got them signed to London's Damaged Goods, a label also home to The Buzzcocks and Adam and the Antz. So with all this momentum, what Richardson did next, may come as a surprise. He moved to Japan and became an English teacher. "I came to Japan with the mindset of staying here," says Richardson, who has been in Osaka just over three years working as a high school ALT.
"I became interested in the history of Japan a few years ago. Since Japan and England are both island nations, I think that there's a similar mentality, yet a different character in both places." As Richardson prepared to leave behind his family, friends and job as an interior designer, he also had to prepare for the daunting task of leaving behind his second family, the former members of his band, who had inspired him to get into music in the first place.
"I always knew I wanted to be up there on stage," says Richardson, who only started playing guitar at the age of 25. "I was really fortunate that the friends around me went to record shops and looked for music that wasn't run of the mill." It was this early influence with experimental music that inspired Richardson and his mates to form their first band ten years ago called Summerbee, named after an English football player. While rummaging through the apartment of former Summerbee band mate Paul Sarel, Richardson found a stack of fictional band posters that Sarel had created as a hobby. Among those posters was one titled Age of Jets. "I thought it was a cool poster and we were looking for a modern name that reflected a modern sound," says Richardson.
Thus the Age of Jets was born. Though the Jets first album Go Go Gadget Pop was mainly guitar-driven, Richardson's move to Osaka meant that plans for a second album would have to be put on hold. The result has been as Richardson describes it: "a darker, moodier album with an 80s retro feel, reflected greatly in the catchy new single 'Robotboy'. "I've got a fascination with robots," laughs Richardson. 'The whole idea of robots controlling so many facets of our lives inspires me and fits in with our sound." The current Jets are now looking for a label in Japan to release their sophomore disc, Music by Numbers.
Richardson chose to come to Osaka over Tokyo for its friendly reputation and being from a town of 300,000 himself, he also preferred a smaller-town vibe. However, selling an electronic band in a place where language barriers are a constant factor has proven to be a challenge. "As a foreigner in a foreign country, it is harder to promote your- self," says Richardson. "There is a bigger audience here, but it's harder to capture." But Richardson and his band mates keep plugging away because for them music is "more than a hobby." The Jets are trying to maintain their original fan base in the UK and raise their profile in Japan, so they can play festivals like Fujirock or Summersonic. With a solid base of songs for their follow-up album, new friend- ships with established Japanese bands like Tokyo's Polysics and a few upcoming gigs in the New Year, it looks like the future is bright for this young band. And Richardson is enjoying the journey.

For Those who don't know who the real Fardoche is, it doesn't really matter. But this Fardoche is a French Quebecer producer-slash-mouse-clicker-slash-bedroom-knob-fidgeter with no extravagant story to tell, beside that he loves red wine & cheese. About The music, Some say that his stuff sound simply f***** weird, other say that it sound like a softened vinyl that was found under the sun in a back alley. Nevertheless, his sound is not clean as electro house nor nasty as French crunchy electro but perhaps a better creative term to name it would be: electro-farm. And to push the analogy further, it would be electro-dilapidated-old-farm style, with all its flaws and faulty features that an old farm can hold next to a dirt road. Disfunctionnal, unique and charming. Fardicge like to use computer generated voice(c.g.v.), beatbox, moog & sampler like characters in his tunes. C.g.v.'s are treated respectfully like real comedians. They sound a little bizarre but are friendly and very cooperatives to delivers Fardoche absurd stories on the imaginary stage. It's a nice and unorthodox way to discover the Quebec French humor culture. If you don't speak French, no worries, Fardoche will translate the pertinent dialogs to text on his the next coming album that he's presently working on. Fardoche is also working on other projects under different aliases doing all sort of electronic music. But that’s an other bedtime story. MACHINE BOY - Slave 2 Mind http://www.shotguncharlie.co.uk/machineboy.htm http://www.myspace.com/machineboyuk 
:: About Machine Boy :: Machine Boy have been creating electronic music for a number of years, Machine Boy music has been used by various tv & production companies including BBC, Chan 4 & 5, Central/Carlton, Chilli Media, Black Diamond & in the USA by the likes of MTV. Machine Boys albums are now available to buy at ITUNES. The ep called DEPRESSION EP thru Incubator Records Includes the huge lyrical/vocal talent of USA Seattle basedpoet/artist Lorian Elbert (RIP), giving the Machine Boy sound a whole new dark (surreal) edge. The story goes on seeing one of Lorians poem books Machine Boy knew these words would work perfectly with his soundscapes. Kind words & airplay from DJ legend/icon John Peel (RIP)...god how much do we miss Johns shows ! ;-( more recently airplay for Machine Boys 'Action Figures' from the likes of top radio one jock Huw Stephens and airplay, positive vibes from BB6music's Tom Robinson plus continued support from Gill Mills TOP podcast iCast and Machine Boy being included in BBC Radio One's TOP unsigned podcast have all helped build the Machine Boy fanbase. Machine Boy also create animated video's to promote his music, the first being a video for the track 'Depression' and the video instantly picked up airplay on the mighty MTV, more recent animated promo's such as 'Action Figures' have also been given airplay from MTV2 in various programmes such as '120 minutes' etc. Serious airplay from tv, including MTV Real World, Road Rules and various extreme sports programs/films has only made the whole Machine Boy project more mouthwatering. Machine Boy have also been doing work with producer/writer Ian Wallman (B15 Project) and a song for the 'more sonic adventures...' album has been co-written with Ian, titled 'Despair'. The Full album is now available and goes again (as the ep) under the name of 'Machine Boy featuring Lorian Elbert' and has the full title of MORE SONIC ADVENTURES FROM MACHINE BOY FEATURING LORIAN ELBERT.

KOMPUTER - Liquid Gold http://komputer.org.uk http://www.myspace.com/komputermusik Synthetik – (Album)
CD - CDSTUMM228 - Released 25th June 2007
Track Listing - 1. International Space Station 2. Headphones and Ringtones 3. Breathing 4. Like a Bird 5. Synthetik 6. Blackie 7. Rain 8. Gloopy 9. Tokyo (we want to go to) 10. Satin traffic 11. Liquid Gold 12. What We DoABOUT KOMPUTER - Komputer is the project of two London-based synth-meisters: Simon Leonard and David Baker. The band have been writing, mixing and producing for 11 years now, and show no signs of slowing down, as the release of their new album "Synthetik" attests. Their sound is rigorously electronic and their tracks deal with such diverse subjects as: Russian cosmonauts, rubbish compactors and mobile phone ringtones. Musical antecedents and influences include Kraftwerk, Georgio Moroder, Syd Barrett and Brian Eno. Komputer has played and continues to play live gigs at festivals and clubs throughout the length and breadth of Europe; most recently in Turkey and Sweden. All the band's releases have been on Mute records, and it is their pleasure to have such excellent stable-mates as the likes of Motor, Depeche Mode, Laibach, Nitzer Ebb and Wire.
Komputer's debut album, “The World of Tomorrow" came out in 1998 and was a glorious assemblage of top-notch electro songs, conceptually a reaction against Oasis’ glorification of The Beatles, with Kraftwerk as heroes. Due to the band’s strict quality control, a further 2 albums worth of material never saw the light of day. Eventually their second album, "Market Led" was released in 2002. It was a glitchy, crazy slice of mittel-european electronica and owed its depths to the likes of Murcof and Pole. "Synthetik", the third album, gradually evolved over a long period of time, the tracks being tried out in live sets then discarded or reworked in the studio. It finally matured into a return to the more traditional Electro sound of the first album, with the incorporation of a more experimental and contemporary electronica approach throwing the genre a few curves along the way. Enjoy. Synthetik (2007) 'electronica at its most optimistic' > Market Led (2002) 'the year's most brilliantly scintillant and earnestly playful electronic album', 'sounds like the kind of music Robby The Robot from 'Forbidden Planet' would make' > The World Of Tomorrow (1998) 'kraftwerk's illegitimate offspring', 'endless doppelgangin' pleasure' CONTACT FOR GIGS AND PRESS:- komp@blueyonder.co.uk THE STATICFIELD - Walking On Clowds http://the_staticfield.myownmusic.de http://www.myspace.com/thestaticfield About The Staticfield The Staticfield There is a new name occurring amongst the avantgarde of electronic music : The Staticfield. But what is The Staticfield ? The Staticfield is a musical project for redefining the character of ambient music. Non mainstream, just electronic music from the real source : the heart. The Staticfield stands for unique and special sounds with a deep flowing atmosphere, that’ll catch you in a hypnotical spiderweb of soundwaves and acoustic sensations. Emerging from nowhere, The Staticfield has already created an own musical sphere beyond all known modern standards, and leaves all categories behind. It’s a sound, newborn and dramatically authentic. Rootsy, by the real meaning of this word : with a deep sense for love and feeling. GARY HUNTER - I Remember You http://www.myspace.com/garyhuntermusic About GARY HUNTER - Synthesizers have fascinated since I first heard them on records by Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, OMD, Ultravox, The Human League and Depeche Mode. It was in the late 80’s when I decided to write my own songs. I formed a studio band with a good friend of mine Ray Naughton and things clicked into place very quickly and we wrote and recorded around 20 songs in a similar style to OMD & Erasure (Vince Clarke has been a big influence with my Synthpop music probably, the biggest influence of all). They were very raw recordings made on a cheap Amstrad 4 track recorder. From there I progressed on to using an Atari computer and sequencer software packages alongside a Drum Machine. I recorded more electronic pop material and also some video soundtrack music. I wanted to develop my skills in creating music utilising computers and have recorded about 8 or 9 Cds of material using Samples, Drum Loops and Drum Machines. The music in this field covers Dance, Trance, Chill-out & Hip Hop styles. This side of my work has been recorded under the name The Definition Of Sound. It is a collection of material I am very proud of. I have over the last 2 or 3 years returned to Synthesizers and re-recorded a lot of the material I did with Ray to a much higher standard and in addition I have written numerous new songs and done some cover versions. One cover version I have done is a track of OMD’s called "Of All The Things We’ve Made". This was included on an american release tribute album called "We Love You 2". I am very proud that my version of the song was worthy of inclusion on the CD. My latest project is an interesting one as I have decided to record an album of Ambient/soundtrack Music and decided I would only use layered strings, Choir sounds and piano. It has resulted in me learning Cubase, a programme I have wanted to use for some time. So far 15 songs have been written and I am currently working at mixing those. Moby’s ambient music has been the key influence with this material. I decided to send in 3 of the tracks to the BBC for inclusion on a natural history programme and whilst I was n’t successful I did get through the first stages which I am very pleased about. The three songs sent to the BBC were called "The Long Goodbye", "Quiet Splendour" and "Broken Flowers".
Gary has other exclusive songs available to listen to at:
www.soundclick.com/garyhunterGary has recently completed the immence task for recording his own tribute CD and a remix version of the wonderful Kraftwerk. Robo Cast Radio have lucky enough to hear the albums in full and they are fantastic. Due to copyright "potential" problems we do not play any cover versions on the show. In some respects this is a shame as the albums are brilliant. Below is a quick summary review of the album from Gary Wright of NEON (another Kraftwerk expert). I was lucky enough to be one of the few to recieve a copy of Gary Hunter's "Music By Design" CD a tribute to Kraftwerk. Being a huge fan of the dusseldorf maestros since 1975 I am always excited to hear other's interpretation of their music, so when I heard Gary was to do a cd I was hoping to get to listen. So now I can get to review it in all it's glory. In conclusion then. Gary's tribute to Kraftwerk is a fine piece of electronic music done by someone who is clearly a real fan of the Menshe Machines. His love of the original comes through in every one of these tracks and he should be very proud of what he has achieved here, I know I would be if it was me.

Atelier Nouveau – Blue Day
From - FML075 - ATELIER NOUVEAU - Blue Day (ep)
http://www.ateliernouveau.eu
http://www.myspace.com/ateliernouveau
Duo of producers/musicians born out of the ashes of a rock band, The Pocket Rockets, split after releasing three cd's and appearing in several rock compilations in Italy, Usa, Argentina, etc. The first demo was put very roughly together during late Summer 2005, but they decided to turn it into a real project only in November. Craig is in charge for the vocal duties and recording, engineering, mixing and mastering; he also writes all the lyrics and melodies. Giorgio is involved in all the midi-related parts of the music, including playing synths, keyboards and programming drum sequences, as well as composing the musical parts of the songs. Work flows definitely in a very smooth and natural way since they spent the last 8 years playing together, respectively guitar and bass. The influences are varied: their favourite listens include Italo Disco, synth pop, new wave, disco and house music, especially the work of producers as Giorgio Moroder, Trevor Horn, Bobby Orlando, Pete Waterman, Patrick Cowley, bands such as Human League, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, Gary Numan (especially his "Bill Sharpe period"), Kraftwerk and also bands which got their biggest popularity in the late 70s, as Sparks (Moroder-era), Buggles, Flash and The Pan, M, New Musik, but the list could go on for ever and ever...

From - FML021 - ASTROSTOP - SUPERSTART (EP)
http://www.astrostop.net
Last born of the Italian excellence, these three goodfellows (Obodobo Bamboolino, NomenOmen Tarabùm, Johnny Schiavazzo) named their band Astrostop to feel like the notorious hall of famer Space Wanderer (S. W. from now on), the man who rode the stars with the banjo on his knees. Obviously they decided to develop a sound as far as possible from the S. W: model. So they substituted a microkorg for banjo and began to wait for the due enlightening.

The album "How Dare You" was recorded quickly and received record company interest and the track "Thank God For Doors" was released on Shifty Disco Records in the summer of 2005. The Audacity's sound has been described as "electric rock. Their lyrics are certainly not run of the mill. The Human League site's webmaster described "How Dare You" as being "the album the League Of Gentlemen would make!"
The band has remixed various tracks for the Human League and other electronic bands website.
The band is currently re-writing tracks with a view to playing live in the near future. New tracks are also being recorded. A new album is well underway and sounding very BIG! New tracks will appear on MySpace soon!

MACH FOX – Build It Down (Single Mix)
From FML073 - MACH FOX - Build It Down (EP)
http://www.machfox.com
http://www.myspace.com/machfox
Among the lifetime residents of Abyssville are those rock and rollers whose faith in the liberating rebellion of Electropunk music gets crossed up into a personal need to defy convention and authority - all authority. Clinging to icons whose cools convey a fearless sense of adventure, they are buffeted by the rigors of a lifestyle that would embalm a vampire and propelled by audience expectations of superhuman hedonism and indulgence. Mach FoX is the quintessential Electro-Rocker, a glam punk who digs the roots, a true believer in the machine backbeat. A man who lives the music as if it means something, and gives himself over to it in a near fatal rock ritual. An Electropunk who dresses in his habit defiantly, disgustedly- like a close-fitting tattered mesh shirt, Mach and machines have become as inseparable as Mach and his old hat and goggles. Time and again, he hauls himself through the fire to prove that he is no myth- but a keeper of the flame. If Marc Bolan was the godfather of glam then Mach FoX will most certainly sire the child of Mpls. Electropunk.

Jens Wortmann was born in Erkelenz, Germany in 1979. He has been producing electronic music of various styles, ranging from Electro to Techhouse and minimal sounds, since 2003.
'Pantherklub' concentrates on Electro-music and is inspired by classic wave-music from the early 1980s. The name says it all: Like panthers the tracks sneak up to the listener only to devour him in the end. Rocking minimalism that's only waiting to finally break out like a volcano – that's the species Pantherklub bred in their laboratories. An electronic petting-zoo. Only it's with real panthers. Don't miss it!
