Craig McElhinney

Recorded live in the studio by Georgia Martin in January 2009, You and Me Are Young and Brutal is the amazing debut album from Perth guitarist Craig McElhinney. Improvised glacial drone loops meet meandering doom improvisations as McElhinney performs the sound of bringing the mountains to the sea. See you in Mesopotamia, Tennis Prince.

Sofie Loizou

It all started when Sofie, age 15, borrowed an old synthesiser from a friend. Intrigued and beguiled by its puzzling menu layout and strangely labelled functions, she was destined to ask "what does that button do?". Thus began a long and sordid love affair with electronics and music. Visit Sofie's myspace page for more info. http://myspace.com/sofieloizoumusic

High Wolf

High Wolf uses loops, percussive sounds, fuzzy keyboards and obscure sunken melodies to create a ritual space that combines aspects of exotica, ethno-flux, drone and minimalism while skirting the kinda haunted forests of tone previously the domain of Spencer Clark and James Ferraro.

Tycho

Tycho is the music project of San Francisco based artist and producer Scott Hansen. Hansen began his foray into electronic music with 2002's The Science of Patterns EP which was followed in 2004 by his first full length, Sunrise Projector. 2006 saw the release of Past Is Prologue on the now defunkt IDM label Merck Records. In 2007 Ghostly International released Tycho's first single under that imprint, "The Daydream / The Disconnect".

The Bakery

The Bakery are an 11 piece band from Sydney, Australia. With a sound that is a mixture of funk, reggae and ska these guys have some balls. They have two charismatic female singers whose vocals are comparable to the great Gwen Stefani but with a little more soul, and a five-piece horn section. Naughty lyrics and a playful nature this band has a loyal following, and their debut album launch sold out The Basement in Sydney. Emily Collins: Vocals
Rosie Henshaw: Vocals
James Maybury: Trumpet
Dave Dziedzic: Trumpet

Radio People

From the salty tear-infected circuit boards of Cleveland, Ohio, comes 'Radio People', Sam Goldberg's synthwave commission for the ever-excellent Digitalis imprint. For the latter half of the '00s he's been a part of the same underground noise scene as Emeralds, running his Pizza Night cassette imprint and releasing a handful of rare tapes on Gneiss Things, Wagon and Weird Forest, among others. Radio People is a relatively recent handle he's been using for a trio of now out-of-print cassettes on Pizza Night, and this is the first vinyl product of that chemically imbalanced sound.

Joel Stern

Since 1998 Joel Stern has made electroacoustic compositions and free improvisations using field recordings, contact microphones, a sonic raygun, a baby moniter, trumpet, silent brass, found objects, a gong, processing, feedback, rocks, keys, strobe lights, pedals, taisho-goto, slide guitar, mbira's and kalimba's, trumpet, gecko, string and instruments and processes too obsure to mention.
As well as working under his own name, Joel plays in bands including Abject Leader, No Guru, impromptulons, Sunshine Has Blown, Gyanism.
