FGFC820
BIO: Formed in 2004, FGFC820 is the harsh EBM project from well-known and respected New York City DJs, Rexx Arkana and Dräcos. Drawing on joint and separate influences ranging from old school industrial to modern gabber, Arkana and Dräcos combine to create a sound that is at once melodic and relentlessly rhythmic, "bringing the 'thump' back to EBM", as one reviewer recently put it.In addition to his 20 years of experience as both a DJ and promoter - having worked with everyone from industrial stalwarts Skinny Puppy and Ministry to newer stars Covenant and VNV Nation - Rexx Arkana is also the founder of the scene supergroup Bruderschaft. A collaboration of some of the electronic music world's top talents, Bruderschaft drew together, under Arkana's leadership, members of VNV Nation, Covenant, Apoptygma Berzerk and Icon of Coil in a charitable effort to benefit cancer research and treatment. As an artist in his own right, Arkana has also written lyrics and/or recorded vocals for such prominent underground acts as The Retrosic (New World Order), Neikka RPM (Storm of Hell), and davaNtage side project, Supreme Court (Mass Media Murder).Dräcos spent the last half of the 90s in Boston where he attended Berklee College of Music and graduated with a degree in music production & engineering. While in Boston, Dräcos also played the local club circuit as a DJ as well as performing live with Disciples of Astaroth. In 1999, Dräcos relocated to NYC where he began building a bigger name for himself as a DJ for the some of the scenes' most notorious parties. Dräcos also started Subsurface Productions to encompass all of his various projects, since he had begun DJing and releasing original tracks/remixes under his various aliases... such as his track "Sacrilege" which was recorded under his 'Von Strecker' alias and chosen to represent the gabba genre on the "Definitive - Elevated" album from England's 42Records.As DJs, it's not surprising their compositions inspire movement, nor that their messages - be them political or cultural - have been enslaved by the beat. ReGen Magazine recently wrote: "FGFC820 is perhaps the best example of pure, beat-driven EBM to be unleashed onto the scene in years. The rhythms pound their way into your psyche with militaristic grandeur, stomping like a Teutonic march the likes of which have been mostly lost in this new age of synthpop wannabes."
Diverje
Started by TOMMY T. in 1996....the band started as a metal/industrial hybrid and has mutated in a few ways since.Becoming more of a solid unit in 2000 with the album "On Skin" and bringing in a more EBM, club friendly sound with harder industrial, dark electro and noise influences as well. "on skin" and "regret" as well as "disconnect"CONVERTER mix, and "to hell" remixed by RAZED IN BLACK became big hits for DIVERJE in the clubs, and helped build a solid following. 2002 seen the remix double album of "2:40 AM" released, and this one brought in some very diverse and cool new mixes of "on skin" tracks, older tracks and some odd new stuff as well...including a DEVO cover!
EchoStream
The New York City based Echostream is singer/songwriter Ryoko and Producer Tony. The music is based around her beautiful voice, which mixes perfectly into soundscapes that are tailored just for her. With a style that spans genres and ages, Ryoko says she isn't interested in targeting any one group of people, and it shows! Echostream's music is wonderfully suited to people from all walks of life.
Angels on Acid
Angels on Acid was founded by M!K!LL in early 2003 with a heavy influence in EBM, Industrial, and Psychedelic Trance.The creative vision was to merge all of the dark, aggressive styles of the last 20 years into a new genre of music that he calls "Psybercore."M!K!LL began working with Metal guitarist The Omen in the fall of 2005 and released "THE Dominate E.P." in the spring of 2006. The Dominate E.P. was a milestone of diversity for their early experimentation of Industrial, EBM, Psychedelic Trance, Metal, and even Synthpop. And though the early stages of their style were born, the hunger for something more defined kept them digging for something deeper.In June of 2007 Angels on Acid successfully released their first full length album "Eyes Behind The Curtain." and began distribution with DSBP Records shortly thereafter. Surprisingly "Eyes Behind The Curtain" was well received by critics and began selling out of stock reaching orders as far away as Australia and Japan! That summer they also had to the opportunity to perform with international artist like Combichrist, Imperative Reaction, Assemblage 23 and Modulate.December 7th 2007 Angels on Acid's EBM epic "Misery Loves Company" was featured on the Alfa Matrix compilation Endzeit Bunkertracks act III along with other great artist like DAWN OF ASHES, NOISUF-X , LEAETHER STRIP, MODULATE, GRENDEL, SUICIDE COMMANDO, AYRIA, X-FUSION, VIRGINS O.R. PIGEONS, TERRORFAKT.By Late December of 2007 Angels on Acid became a proud member of the DSBP Records family and re-released their first full length album "Eyes Behind The Curtain" on the label. It's a fact that Angels on Acid has established themselves as one of the best up and coming artist in the EBM/Industrial scene today. On December 31st Angels on Acid headlined Single Cell's highly successful "Synthetic New Year" event along with Anders Manga and were featured on the "90 Minutes" underground music program on Charlotte's 106.5: The End, and portions of their performance were shown on the television program "Fox News Edge"They are now currently in the studio recording material for their next full length album to be released on DSBP Records in late 2008. This is only the beginning of what appears to be many great things to come.
Filth on Demand
F1LTH ON D3MAND is the brain child of industrial/club Poster-boy DJ Onesiktr1k, and the members of pioneering electro/rock band, Rollercoaster Pilot (RCP). Together they have forged their sound by taking modern electro dance and cyber punk influences‘, and replacing it’s heart with that of a true industrial monster. Their blend of old and new school synthetic backdrops, metal guitar mayhem, inventive percussive manipulation, and in-your-face vocals result in a sound that is truly all their own.
