O for Odetta
Describing O for Odetta as ‘electronic soul music’ just wouldn’t do justice to the variety of styles she easily combines. She recently started to handle the microphone but the echoes of the many years of making instrumental IDM are still prominent in her music. She seamlessly blends styles like dubstep and pop into her own tasty little stew, and dedicatedly seasons it with nothing less than her heart and soul. Oooh...

Thiaz Itch
Born near 1999, half-way between crude-hardcore and infantile naivety, this unstable toon tells the musical stories of his coloured and pixellized universe. By his eclectic influences and his sound research, he intersects marrowy atmospheres and diabolic rhythmics, metal aggressiveness and puerile happiness, for finally producing a musical flow in constant mutation. Imagine a cyclone-toy that blows any wave of sound, air-processing it and organizes it in time..... He joined the great label Bedroom Research (North-France) in 2005 (with the EP "Beďnn Puss1"), and decided to create his own label Proot records with Tep and goto80 in 2007, so that funny, happy, funky and original music has its own place.

Two girls, One cup
Two girls, one cup was formed in 1989 by the unrelated brotherz Juice and Juicy as a Belgian aswer to the British new wave scene. Tight beats in tight pants, looking trough a pigskin window while going at the speed of light, ants in your fat momma's pants, hey, you're not supposed to touch that! 2000 lightyears in a cup,... and on and on, their hitlist has become inmeasurable in size and length, kind of like the universe, dig? The track on this record, 'ride the red wave' dates back from the fall of 2007 when the brothers announced they had converted to the church of scientology in search for their inner alien self. The track is firm and strong, yet tender as an early spring flower sitting on a river bank, the sun sets in deep pink, that special feeling you like, swells, it grows and grows and flows, until it squirts like a river beneath your feet. In other words: this shit is wack!"

Ucture
Ucture was 16 when he met Bourlion The Great and his fabulous turntable band. And The Great said to him: "hou hi wawha humbatatara!". So he understood that the most beatiful sounds are locked inside cheap metallic boxes and bottles of sulfuric acid.
Then he decided to record his childhood vibes and this resulted in incredible bassline experiments!
When he was 25, he started to release materials from the past, officially approved by prehistoric monsters.
Today he produces mysterious hidden sounds...

Wevie Stonder
Wevie Stonder began in 1979, when at the age of six, Alan Boorman & Richard Sothcott began their musical quest by recording a group of chickens down an old army telephone into a tape recorder, & playing it back while hitting a 4 string guitar & a biscuit tin. By July 1993, they were armed with an Amstrad 3 track studio 100, Johnny Guitar and a Casio pt82. The first recording session with this new equipment soon resulted in a failed cover version of Stevie Wonder´s "I just called to say I love you", and marked the birth of Wevie Stonder. After inserting the resulting cassette into Brighton music library, recorded on the b-side of a Steve Reich LP (giving it it's own dewey decimal number), stonder soon began to expand. By 1994 Chris Umney had joined, and several years of recording over the same 3 track cassette ensued. There quickly followed a short-lived artistic career featuring live music-theatre performances such as "Carrot the Dog Opera" and an international mail art exhibition "The History Of Dogs".
It was through all of these experiences that the group discovered their own true "Cack" style, and ventured onwards over the following years to produce many great and varied works. In 1999 Wevie joined SKAM records, an event described by some as the biggest setback ever to have hit the label. The release of their first EP "Eat Your Own Ears" * then followed: a compendium of styles including Cack, advanced music and dog interviews, receiving world-wide acclaim and 1 out of 10 in NME. A new member, Henry Sargeant (Actor), became a permanent feature & disturbing interactive live element, with his ever growing props box & legendary 3 foot pissing cock hat. Shortly afterwards Nadir al-badri also joined the ranks, gracing Wevie with additional tuba, midi trumpet, minature fretless bass, & occasional bee costume. He can often be seen at wevie gigs dancing like john travolta whilst encouraging the audience to speak into a tube. Wevie is a collective with Al at the healm during the writing & recording process, and at the rear during gigs, when Chris, Henry, Nanni, and sometimes Rich or Matt are the front men. Usually a 4 piece line up, sometimes a 5 piece, And even a 6 if you really want it bad. The wevie live show consists of many things other than purely the music: onstage fighting, films, competitions, audience participation & a number of wigs are often just as much a part of the set. Wevie Stonder are fresh from working on their new album THE BUCKET, and are now ready to bring their show of freaks to a town near you.
