iTAL tEK

is 22 year old Brighton based Alan Myson. Signed to Planet Mu records Alan has cemented his reputation as one of the most exciting young producers in electronic music today. His productions merge heavy industrial Dubstep and deep electronic textures to create a personally touched sound that can both tear up dance-floors and be enjoyed wholly as a listening experience.

2007 saw the release of two massive sell-out 12"s Blood Line and Deep Pools that gained a legion of fans and resulted in many live shows all over Europe. Following this success his debut album Cyclical was released on Planet Mu in the summer of 2008. It received much critical acclaim and DJ support resulting in Alan being asked to contribute a guest mix for Mary Anne Hobbs' BBC Radio 1 show. After the album's release he played at many of Europe's top dance music festivals including Glade where The Guardian newspaper featured his performance as their highlight of the festival from a new artist.

After continued Radio 1 support Mary Anne Hobbs also featured his track "Archaic" on her compilation album "Evangeline" which has gone on to achieve great success.
2009 sees the release of a new Ital Tek EP "Massive Error" and a second album for Planet Mu with many more worldwide tour dates throughout the year.

Badun s

adventurous, and narrative music is the product of three people (Oliver Duckert, Aske Krammer & Hjalte Møller).
Since 2002, Badun has been exploring the intriguing territories of electronica, jazz and improvisation. Focusing on the energy of live performances while probing the secrets of homegrown sound recording.
Their non-repetitive idm and the free spirit of seventies fusion becomes cyber jazz.
They are releasing an EP in March followed by their second album Last night sleep in May 2009 on Mindwaves-Music.

Karsten Pflum

With three full releases and a bunch of EPs in his
bag, Karsten Pflum pays a tribute to the glorious times of IDM, without
loosing the focus on the future of the genre. Pflum explores the
boundaries of heavy bass driven dubstep, frantic jungle and breakcore,
combining extreme ambiences with hard complex rhythm programming and
treatment. His liveshows have been rocking around Europe for a good
number of years, and his tunes have been played on a diverse number of
radio programs.

Bjørn Svin

is the enfant terrible of techno and electronica in
Denmark. For 15 years he has been pushing the boundaries of the scene,
being extremely active as a producer, DJ and live performer. He has had
a number of hits in Northern Europe, like "Mer Strøm" and "Mand Over
Bord". These are still rave anthems in the clubs and radios. At the
moment Bjørn Svin is focusing on a very melodic yet danceable style,
with an extreme quality for sound and detail. Live he is an
unforgettable experience - a machine virtuous and a crazy physical
appearence.

Sofus Forsberg

is one of the fathers and driving forces behind the nordic
electronica movement. Since 1998 he has provided the world with
beautiful emotional melodies, intricant beats, and superb production.
He is very active playing live, and has guested prominant festivals
like Sonar and Electro Bunker. Sofus Forsberg have 2 albums and
numerous remixes behind him and is now gathering material, reinventing
himself in the joy of modular synthesizers and drummachines.

ChillinBerlin

is a DJ-Team known to present the freshest
high quality electronica: from earthshaking dub step basses, over mind tweeting
idm glitches, up to dirty but dance floor-moving minimal beats.
Their spectrum may appear wide, but as intense music nerds, both bring a profound
knowlege of all kind of experimental downbeat.
Always influenced by, but never limited to the
electronic music style of the undergound of their home city Berlin.

Rumpistol: click here

Rumpistol
started as a musical solo-project in 2001/2002 and released his
critically acclaimed debut album in 2003.The album received airplay by
the late John Peel at his legendary BBC Radio 1 show, and several tracks from the album were licensed to different compilations.
Apart from producing music, he also run the label Rump Recordings, has performed live at festivals such as Fusion (D), Roskilde Festival (DK), Amsterdam Dance Event (NL) og Electric Picnic (IE) and has played numerous of concerts in North Europe, Mexico and Russia.
This year he finished his great third album 'Dynamo' wich will be presented on this event.

Quotes from DYNAMO reviews:

'Dynamo marks a triumphant return to the field, filled with warm electro-acoustic timbres and patchwork beat.' - (Boomkat)

'With
'Dynamo', Rumpistol has made a flowing and totally inviting albumthat
will captivate all but the most heartless of listeners. Itsglistening
melodics, brooding atmospherics, oozing basslines andcomplex
micro-orchestral arrangements gel with such harmonic intentthat the
power of the end result is nothing short of enchanting.
Highlyrecommended to all who require a shining beacon to get them
through thedark depression of Winter.' - KS (Experimusic)

'While the new album is very much in the vein of his past work, it'snow
cohesive like never before. The disparate influences he taps into mold
together beautifully; experimental and pop sensibilities mergeinto a
wonderful sound that demonstrate the careful precision ofChristiansen's
craft. Where a lot of electronic releases have flopped this year,
Rumpistol is set to steal the limelight.' - (The Silent Ballet)

Bjørn Svin: click here

Bjørn Svin is a live performer and producer of experimental electronic dancemusic.
He started making music in 1992, and released his first record in 1995.
Since then he has produced several albums and 12”s, as well as music for films.
In the late nineties he became a 'techno pop-star' with the hit “Mer Strøm #2”, and reached cult-status in most of Scandinavia.
Bjørns
music can be described as a kind ofrave-hip hop-fusion-techno-jazz with
a positive energy connected through repetitive but still quite complex
beats.
What sums upBjørns work is a personal energy rather than
a certain style and some would claim that his music belongs in the
electronica category, rather than being plain dance techno.

Bjørn himself says:
'I do narrative dance music. Music with tension, energy and drama.
Music that aims to be not music; I am tired of music being only music. It is too straight for me..
I want music to trigger my imagination.'
Other People said:
'I saw Bjørn Svin live at Roskilde Festival
this year and it was one ofthe best live performances I've ever seen.
Not only does he make great music, he also dances around, getting a
real good contact with the audience. Often most live-sets gets kind of
boring after a while but not this one. So if you have the chance to see
Bjørn Svin, don't miss it.'

Sonar 04 (BAR), No/1 release 02, Nordberg Festival (SWE), Germany Tour 03, Jazz Juice (Århus), Ekko Festival (Bergen), Psycrowdelica 07 (DE), John Peel show 04.

Sofus describes his music as follows:
'I'm
one of the old-schoolers of danish electronica where minimalismish
melodies, and cut-up found sounds were my trademarks. Now I try to
incorporate more improvisation and generativ sequencing into both
composition and performance, to make music of the vast streams of data
that floats around.
At the moment im creating some kind of rave listening music. Repetitousand complex. Something you can both dance and chill to.'
We look more then forward to this Set!

Drone: click here

Mr. Hifi Break Pop calls himself a “lonesome beatwarrior, always on the lookout for things that make you go ‘what the fuck was that?’...”
Drone produced a sparkling hi-def album for Upitup Records in 2007 which was announced as follows:
'Like a magician, Drone cuts up his lovely assistant Tracky B in his intro, before massaging your eardrums in a total of 10 tracks. Furthermore, Drone has the ability to make blind people see with their ears!
Married to his water-cooled computer,our German Wunderkind has created one hit after another. Never before has Upitup sounded fatter, faster, sci-fier, amazinger, awesomer.'
Feel free to download this masterpiece here and experience Drone live with fresh tunes on the 7th December, first time in Berlin.
