Dead Voices On Air

Spybey started his career in the North-East of England with post-industrialists Zoviet France in the late eighties before moving to Vancouver in Canada. It was here that Dead Voices On Air were formed. Spybey also worked under the name Propeller and was an original member of Download, who featured members of Skinny Puppy. Spybey was the voice of perhaps their most successful release, “The Eyes of Stanley Pain,” in 1996. After leaving Download he started a series of collaborations, appearing on over 50 albums in a five-year period.

Spybey has recorded and played live with a host of collaborators including Faust, Michael Rother (Neu!) and Dieter Moebius (Cluster), members of The Legendary Pink Dots, Mick Harris (Scorn, Painkiller, Napalm Death), Jarboe (Swans), Simon Fisher-Turner, Richard Sanderson, James Plotkin (Flux, Old, Scorn), Darryl Neudorf and Sugarpill (Abintra), Not Breathing, Pigface, Martin Atkins, Spasm, and Genesis P Orridge. He has worked with a number of record companies, including Kranky, Nettwerk, Invisible, Soleilmoon and Lens.

Of late he has formed two bands, Beehatch with Phil Western of Download, who released two albums for Lens Records in 2008 and toured Europe and Reformed Faction, a duo with founding member of Zoviet France and Rapoon mainstay Robin Storey. The band have released three albums, including their most recent, “I Am the Source of Light, I Am not a Mirror,” a triple cd for Soleilmoon Records and have played live in both Europe and North America.

Yet, it is his work as Dead Voices on Air that perhaps most accurately defines the essence of his sound and the techniques that he has developed in a career spanning more than two decades. In the mid nineties, he released five Dead Voices on Air albums in a three-year period, whilst also recording the first two Download albums, two Propeller records and a dozen collaborations with other artists. He then recorded what some describe as his pop record, “Piss Frond,” (“the most cohesive product I could ever imagine,” Ink Nineteen). He toured extensively to promote its glitched electronic successor, “Frankie Pett.” A live album was followed by “From Labrador to Madagascar,” in 2007. Lens Records released the double album, “Fast Falls the Eventide,” in September of 2009.

POO

Poo is an audio platform established back in 1998 by ::.: and Rentip. As a powerful darkdrone noise combo they became pioneers of the electronic noise scene in Slovakia.
Having put out several EPs and a full-length album, they have also performed live throughout Europe.
Poo is currently working on their second album. You can see them again live after almost two years, with brand new material promising an extraordinary sound experience.

Rentip

Rentip began experimenting with sound in Bratislava-based darkambient noise project Poo in 1998. Since that time, he has participated in numerous projects in a wide variety of styles, playing many shows and appearing in several compilations. He continued his solo work as Rentip in order to explore other musical ideas whilst mainteining Poo.
His latest translations from the world of sound he lives in will now be yours to hear as auditory oferings from his soon-to-be-released album.

PRLN

PRLN is producing since 1996, serching through different genres of electronic music.
PRLN’s music is largely influenced by minimal techno. This means do not try to search for melody or complicated state of art compositions. You will only find inustrial layers of calm, walls of grey concrete all enlightened by random sparks from torn high voltage wires. This is what is going to be left…Empty. Cold. Abandoned.

MAKKATU

Noisy minimal with roots in techno and more….

Urbanfailure

I heard system fault it was likely caused by electromagnetic error and today I encountered bug of technology pointless used of energy. I’d rather let urbanfailure try to deconstruct noise while constructing structure. My synthesis of feelings endeavors to transform rooted images. The realization of this concept is also a way to use sound as opinion. Your TV digital pudding raisins as an analog paradox deforming reality? Try not to think about what the past will be like!
