Bitcrush is the escapist solo project of Mike Cadoo (ex-Gridlock member). Contrary to his work in Gridlock and his earlier solo project as Dryft, Bitcrush strives to fuse live instrumentation with experimental electronica’s glitch-centric production techniques. His debut album (entitled Enarc) on Component Records was, by the artists admission, a snapshot of his musical history thus far. Earlier this year a follow-up EP was released via n5MD sister website en:peg Digital entitled Shimmer and Fade. Shimmer and Fade featured heavily processed digital fluctuations blended with genuine percussion, shimmering guitars, interwoven dual bass guitar work and a sprinkling of vocals throughout. Bitcrush is continuing to expand upon this style of fusing emotive electronics and live instrumentation to create post-rock and downtempo music.

Alan Hawkshaw is a British composer and musician, playing the Hammond organ. He was a part of Emile Ford and The Checkmates in the 1960s, and The Shadows in the 1970s. He also composed a large amount of library music as well as many classic themes for radio and television. Many of these were later rediscovered in the late 1990s and subsequently sampled by numerous artists, as in “The Champ” by The Mohawks.

[Translated Review:] "Carontte is a band from Barcelona, Catalonia. They released their works by them selves and nowadays they have a Spanish label for their first full length release, but they still try to find a European distributor for further promotion. I think them worth it, because they produce a great kind of experimental and modern metal music with post-rock elements plus sludge vocals style. Their music is progressive with post-rock structure, deep harsh vocals and heavy guitar bursts. The album consists of almost an hour of quality music and unreal compositions. If you like Isis, Pelican, Rinoa, Russian Circles, Year of no Light, Heirs, At the Soundawn, Ocoai and Rosetta, this band could meet your higher expectations. Sometimes their up-tempo passages reach anbelievable high levels of music influence and inspiration. I could listen to them all day long."

Minus the Bear is an indie rock group which formed in Seattle, Washington, United States in 2001 and have released four albums and four EPs. The band is known for their amusing song titles such as “Hey, Wanna Throw Up?” and “Monkey!!! Knife!!! Fight!!!”. Despite this light humor, the band’s music is quite technical.
