T. Raumschmiere [Mute/Shitkatapult, Berlin]

T. Raumschmiere's moniker is lifted from the William S. Burrough's short story 'The Dreamcops' ('Die Traumschmiere' in his native German) and is the alter-ego of the 'electro-punk' himself, Marco Haas. Having established his own label back in 1997, the superbly titled Shitkatapult, he has gradually gained a global reputation for punk injected techno/electro and been subsequently crowned the king of 'gnarz'. From his Berlin based bunker, T. Raumschmiere has continued to stick two fingers up to the tried and tested, ploughing his own 'stay-anti' stance with the heroic zeal of an electronic Johnny Rotten. From Cologne's Kompakt to Chicago's Hefty label, Marco Haas is now a full long player member of London based novamute and the 'Monstertruck Driver' shows no sign of breaking for hitchers.




Ectomorph [Interdimensional Transmissions, Ann Arbor]

Ectomorph have come to destroy your powercenters. The inequities of this system must be leveled. The power balance in your universe is wrong. We have come to right your many millennia of corrupt behavior. Beware! The group has developed a new approach to sound by delivering unique in-the-moment live performances, often with additional avant theater. The frequency of these performances has created a fluid communication of structure and improvisation, based around the core nucleus of BMG & Erika. After years of performing live together, the sound of Ectomorph's recorded work finally matches the fluidity of their live performances. Such performances have taken them around the world, from the Sonar Festival to the Love Parade, from the Knitting Factory to the Empty Bottle.




Dethlab [Toybreaker/GHB/Dorkwave, Detroit]

Influenced by a combined ten years of art school and fueled by a steady diet of fine chocolate, quadrouple espressos, bass synths and human flesh, Dethlab's Bethany (Toybreaker/God and His Bitches) and Michael (Dorkwave/Burnlab) play really good records really badly... and look good doing it.  With a penchant for thoroughly executed, and often self-parodying theatrics, Team Dethlab have played host to blood orgies, tea parties in abandoned factories and various other misguided uses of seemingly endless imagination and energy.  Expect sounds that will move both your ass and internal organs.
