The “Cyberpunkers†project is the child, born in 2006, of the passion for Cyberpunk culture of two young Milan DJ’s. The format aims at giving a fresh start to this style through four different yet connected forms of art: electronic music, fashion, design and photography. In a nutshell, a transposition of the Cyberpunk world in modern clubbing. The concept, in its embryo phase, kicked off with “Sex machine†and “Cyberpunkersâ€, two tracks released by popular French label “Excess Music†and immediately featured in the playlists of such DJ’s as Pete Tong, Carl Cox and Eric Prydz, raising much attention and curiosity towards the mysterious duo.Through several performances at famous clubs, “Cyberpunkers†(as referred to by their own audience) drew lots of interest and ended up being much taked about for both their original look, made of masks behind which their true identity is hidden, and for the originality of their shows, which are marked out by the use of two consoles at once and powered by several audio machines. In the months to follow, Cyberpunkers shared the stage of the biggest electronic European festivals with such worldwide stars as Faithless, Skye (Morcheeba). Kruder & Dorfmeister, Stereo Mc, Sebastian (Ed Banger) and many others. Such a tight schedule did not prevent them from doing important remixes for Tom Stephan (Superchumbo), D.Ramirez and Urthboy; these works introduced to the new productions: "Breathless", "1984 e.p." and “Game Overâ€, all tracks that are still in the bags of the world’s top DJs Cyberpunkers’ debut album is scheduled for an early 2009 release via Motivo/WeLoveMuzik – the project’s partner label – and anticipated by the single “Is Alternativeâ€, produced during summer/fall 2008.
