Rough-edged laptop electronica from Sydney, Australia since 1999. Halfway between Eno and Oval, with a kind of punk energy that pulls the thing along. Fantastic. Lots of releases on Tigerbeat6, Fals.ch, Sirr, Fat Cat etc. Assembler, a mini-album for the uber-coolische label and design house Fallt is available to download free.

Tzolk'in is a collaboration project between the belgium musician Sal-Ocin(Empusae)
and the french project Flint Glass(aka Gwenn Tremorin ). They both wanted to do a conceptual creation inspired by Mayan mythology and the ritual calender Tzolk'in. As their passion and knowledge grew, a ritual, mythical soundtrack emmerged. The music has elements of ambient, industrial, melancholic sadness and of course elaborated rhythms to enhance the
athmos-fears!

Zola Jesus is the endeavor of a solitary girl named Nika Roza Danilova to simultaneously combat and invoke the approaching apocalypse using the only weapon/offering she has: her voice. After a decade of opera study and a musical awakening involving such varied inspiration as Billboard bubblegum, classical arias, no wave, avant industrial, she was able to thread her influences into a sound uniquely her own.
