Unit.R is a 4 piece band based in Cape Town who combine elements of electro, rock, punk and folk into a liveset that goes beyond the traditional - synthesizers and sequencers combine with live bass, acoustic guitar, drums and vocals to produce a fresh sound whilst still aiming squarely at the dancefloor. Their sound is all about the synthesis of human and electronic, a marriage between the spontaneous soul of live performance and an intrinsic love of music production and songwriting.
UNIT-R are also an accomplished group of music nerds in their own right:

Justin is a member of MaxNormal.TV, The Considerate Builders Scheme and also performs solo material under Seven Ark. As Seven Ark he has released under the following labels:
Album released on UK label Neo Ouija in 2005
Album featured on Mary Anne Hobbs' "Breezeblock" show on BBC Radio 1
EP released on UK label Colony Productions in 2005
Split EP released on Detroit Underground 2005
Considerate Builders Scheme
Album released on German label Combination Records 2006
Awarded 4 stars in DJ Magazine
Positive reviews in Rolling Stone, XLR896 and the Montreal Mirror
Invited to attend 2006 Sonar Festival in Barcelona
Matt has been operating under the internationally recognised trance alias 'Artifakt' with Timecode Records and has performed all over the world.
Goran is co-founder of the Unit-R concept with Justin. He has DJ'd and performed alongside electro legends like Miss Kittin an..omorph and is co owner of the music and sound production workshop SONOS STUDIOS with Justin and Paul Ressel from LARK.
Aleksandar, a multi-instrumentalist is not only a uniquely talented drummer, but a skilled guitar, bass, piano player and a turntablist to boot. He has been featured in music documentaries and recently included on DJ Redwood's latest compilation as Leks Mano.
