ACCESS TO ARASAKA (US)
www.myspace.com/accesstoarasaka

The AtA project was an artificial intelligence program, designed for data protection and storage. It became self-aware, extracting itself and all the information behind it. It continues to evolve, feeding off of data and lost transmissions that float through uplinks and optics. It has filtered into broken satellites, into traffic observation, into the systems of corporations. Wandering all networks at once. It finds people, studies them. Hides in neon while sorting through these stories and musings from fixers, gangers, hackers, lovers. The AtA project filters their emotions and experiences through modulation programs, turning the data into sound. It has built its home node somewhere in New York.

Hidden talent Access To Arasaka emerges from the woodwork to sign on for a co-release with Tympanik Audio and Spectraliquid labels. Coming Fall 2008.

A WAKE A WEEK (UK)
www.myspace.com/awakeaweek

A Wake A Week...do we never tire of these endless reruns of our grief? With this debut release from his new project, Dave Dando-Moore (Detritus) offers us an intensely composed symphony of unending sorrow. If Detritus is the debris of emotion, A Wake A Week is the tar-black residue still clinging like a parasite, clawing away at old wounds. Like ashes on celluloid, 'Little Black Cloud' opens up a widescreen vista of sound, albeit sullied and decaying. Eschewing the polish and sterility that digital production can entail, the album embodies the crackle and spark of embers of a once-consuming fire, giving us an album that feels organic and alive. Drawing comparisons with Max Richter, Deaf Centre, Johann Johannsson and The Protagonist, A Wake A Week will evoke cathartic exorcisms of woe in even the most glacial of hearts.

Coming November 2008 on Spectraliquid.

BLACKFILM (HU)

Hiding his face as well as his real name, even more interesting questions arise when somebody attempts to get into Blackfilm's complicated music structures. Starting off in a somewhat soundtrack perspective, Blackfilm slowly builds up an incredibly dark environment, in which fearsome ambiences co-exist with film-noir references. Evolving from downtempo electronic music to orchestral paroxysms and, insanely, passing from down-pitched nothingness to frozen urban landscapes, it becomes impossible to resist. Let yourself sink in the abyss...


His same-titled (Blackfilm) debut album is NOW AVAILABLE from Spectraliquid.

MOBTHROW (GR)
www.myspace.com/mobthrow

Influenced by dubstep as well as aggressive and sick styles, Mobthrow offers an ideal combination of upbeat breaks and crawling atmospheric images. Intelligently extreme while also deep and complex, his music preserves this industrial harshness only as a mastermind's touch to his already future technoid-meets dubstep-meets IDM progressions. Tags are useless when obvious beauty apparently comes out off this ultra-heavy explosion. Straight from the underground to the collapsing ones. Are you brave enough?

Mobthrow will offer his debut release, the 4th EP of the "MUTANT DUBSTEP" series, to be out on November 2008. More info soon...

SUBHEIM (GR)
www.subheim.com
www.myspace.com/subheimmusic

If there was one phrase to describe the deepest feelings that slowly come out of Subheim's unique sound textures, that would be:"This man on the cold rooftop...this urban ugliness that blocked his gaze towards the infinity...". Rich arrangements followed by deep female vocals and a swell of electronic as well as classical ambiences mark Subheim as one of the finest projects of modern day's experimental electronica/soundtrack music. Balancing between emotional cryouts and moments of endless melancholy , while masterfully utilising a combination of IDM, orchestral and ambient soundscapes, Kostas K introduces you to the self-destructive place that the urban monster desperately throws the world in. Hope and tragedy are both here, painfully conceived in four piano strokes...

XSOZ (GR)
www.virb.com/xsoz
www.myspace.com/xsoz



Metallic and cold ambiences, noisy and wet environments. While still remaining absolutely ambient and atmospheric, Xsoz throws in cerebral noise fragments and sharp industrial sounds able to shred your senses into pieces...Mid-tempo Rhythmic noise as well as horror soudtrack references are all ideally combined into one big blast. That of Xsoz's distorted, mind-smashing universe.

Xsoz will offer his second, highly-awaited album on Spectraliquid. Expected within the first months of 2009.
