About Me

A two piece, Boy/Girl Electronica act based in Winchester. Playing live in Winchester/Southampton/London/Brighton and Bristol. check out their website..www.thestemproject.co.uk (up NOW).................

About the band...
Their initial idea was to take Kate's Folk induced lyrics, distorting and twisting the ideas with trippy, cut n paste beats and electronic wizardry from Matt.
We have since seen them developing there styles further, creating a hybrid of sonic delights
The Stem Project seek to demolish genres, finding inspiration from a vast selection of musical styles, (to name a few...) Electronica, Folk, Soul, Breakbeat, Trip Hop, Electro, Folk, Dub and Jungle.
The duo fuse provocative, soulful vocals with imaginative beat programming, Matt threads intricate melodies/deep basslines and a twist of glitch!
Their eclectic, sexy electronic sound continues to penetrate the minds of those simply not content with mainstream music
Since the release of their debut album available from their website (paypal coming soon!) they have been adventuring into the harder, more twisted side, listen to some of the tracks off their NEW ELECTRO/BREAK E.P coming out soon...
They will also be releasing a third ALBUM in the near future, more details to follow...
They wish to play in more venues all over the country, and reach out to a wider audience.

They are also planning a tour 2007 in association with Sinistry of Mound, playing venues up and down the country, also including some of the most talented local artists; Jay et Al, rude_NHS, Unwanted Oscillations, Micro.com and Hiphop Turntablist/Producer Chuckie Steel_ /P
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Some favourable reviews.......
"Their sound is always alluring, complex and intriquing, yet, as immediate and satisfying as smoking crack.."
(on our first album..) "like DJ Shadow on the decks for Portishead, or Massive Attack remixed by Squarepusher,..the thing that strikes you is just how good it is...and IT IS GOOD!"- Taken from outofthevoid.co.uk, album review by Kill Blinton (Sinistry of Mound/SOM Radio)
"Circuitboards and short-skirts..."- rude_NHS"lucious vocals, stunning beats..I can't believe these guys aren't signed, simply, must see Electronica"- The Railway Inn
