About Me


mysterons began working together as children, recording home made 'radio shows' which they are still sampling today (Black as mourning). Making music, or at least noise, started during 6th form. Abusing the school studio, they indulged their passion for using expensive equipment in an inappropriate manner, pioneering such techniques as looping sections of a record using sandwich pickle, and modifying brass instruments…
An impromptu recording session in an abandoned bungalow sparked the two into working together again and their first track was picked up by Rob Da Bank on Radio One. A second session resulted in ‘Black as Mourning’, another combination of musicianship with off the wall sampling... and an Amiga. This track was also recently featured on Radio One’s ‘One Music’ show, and ‘Best of Unsigned’ podcast.
mysterons combine a healthy respect for traditional musicianship and recording techniques, coupled with a healthy disrespect for electronics and sampling; something shown to good effect on their recent ‘mixtape’, a high tech butchering of other people’s music featured in ‘DJ’ magazine, who summed up the pair as ‘Clever, thought provoking, but completely off-the-wall'.
Having received radio play from the UK to New Zealand, mysterons are currently working on new material, collaborations with vocalists, and a taking their music live with a disco drummer, live guitars, a gutted X-box and a modified shop till performance controller…
