In recent years, Birmingham has developed a potent electronica scene,
breeding artists such as Plone, Broadcast, Pram, Magnetophone, Scorn, Sand,
Tele:Funken, The Modified Toy Orchestra, Dreams Of Tall Buildings, PCM and
Mike In Mono. Innovative artists need innovative record labels. The current
Birmingham scene is bristling with vital new set-ups that are dedicated to
the music's confrontational byways, without relinquishing its funky pulse...

Black Galaxy features Nicholas Bullen whose abrasive work in Napalm Death
initiated a new musical genre known as 'Grindcore' and later a member of the
dark, isolationist and dub-influenced Scorn. In collaboration with Simon
Mabbutt they fuse cold and alien galactic soundscapes with minimal warped
bass and glacial rhythmic underpinnings to create nocturnal sonorities.

kREEPA mix electronic and acoustic elements to create improvisations that
explore the dynamic interplay between acousmatic synthesis and instrumental
approaches. (Members of Sand)


ZX Spectrum Orchestra (feat. Brian Duffy + Mike in Mono) its capability to
create a more unconventional sound is limitless. Everything you will see and
hear is derived from a steep and logistic learning curve. Peek, Poke and
Merge. Brian Duffy / Modified Toy Orchestra works with electronic sound toys
that have been rewired and reconfigured to create a series of musical
instruments each creating their own new electronic sounds which oscillate
between the familiar function of the toys and new sounds far removed from
the original function.
Mike In Mono (UK Halfeaten Records) aka Mike Johnston is better known as
member of Birmingham's kitsch electronica trio Plone (Warp). His ever
growing fondness for 'spoken word' is now a relished element in the
mike-in-mono show.

Esquilax are a shiny party plastic new wave avant-garde pop terror group
-possessed by Devo, raised by Agoraphobic Nosebleed.


A sample of forthcoming  treats at the Supersonic Festival due to take place
on 15th/16th July 05 at the Custard Factory Birmingham.
