"The situation is therefore essentially non-dualistic;
a multiplicity of centers in a state of

Heifetz



HEIFETZ wurde 2005 von Dr. Wu (Schlagzeug) und Arrrna Conda (Gitarre), die auch den dauerhaften Kern des Projektes bilden, als experimentelle Hardcore-Band in klassischer Besetzung gegründet.
Die anfängliche Affinität zu "härteren Stilen" im Umfeld des Crust ("Some Songs") wich einem Konzept der programmatisch / improvisativen Klangkunst von zartem Ambient bis gezielter Kakophonie ("Vendetta Luftzirkulation"), welches - nach Aufbruch der konventionellen Bandstruktur - stets durch ein Kollektiv verschiedenster Gastmusiker unterstützt, geprägt und erweitert wurde.
Die stilprägende Widersprüchlichkeit in der eigenen Ästhetik wird durch den visuellen Rahmen (Katzenfutterdose, CD-Covers, T- Shirts, Bühnenbild, etc), kontroverser Erarbeitung von Themen und exhibitionistischer Vernebelung unterstrichen und manifestiert.

Die Teilverdunkelung der einzelnen Akteure ist bewusst gewählt.

Fuck you very much.

Dälek



Dälek (pronounced 'Die-a-leck') is an alternative hip hop duo from Newark, NJ. The group comprises MC Dälek (vocals) and the Oktopus (production). They have often toured with artists from radically different genres, such as Godflesh, Isis, Prince Paul, The Melvins, De La Soul, and Lovage.
Dälek's music is dark, noisy and atmospheric, equally inspired by industrial music like Einstürzende Neubauten, the layered noise of My Bloody Valentine and the dense sound collages of Public Enemy. Their sound is often constructed through sampling and a musical base atypical of most hip-hop, making it difficult for people to classify their sound. They have been described as trip-hop, glitch-hop, and metal- shoegaze-hip-hop, as well as criticized for their broad range of sound. (Wikipedia)

Unique blend of industrial strength hip-hop and avant rock...musically somewhere between El-P, Cannibal Ox, Public Enemy, Techno Animal, Swans, Anticon and My Bloody Valentine.
Darkness guaranteed!

Atonal, dissonant and majestic (Under the Radar)

...the most innovative hip-hop crew on Earth (XLR8R)

Hexenbrutal



After raising first interest in 2005 the commission of Klubski Maraton took notice and Hexenbrutal played among other runners-up at the Koncertni Maraton 2006 in KUD France Prešeren.
Then in the next year they confirmed their unconventional musical concepts and added fresh ideas and a wider sonic spectrum. It basically still was a slow and intense musical affair, which evolves between drums, synthesizers, samplers and other electronic equipment and vocals. The contrast between meditative ambient passages and thundering assaults of controlled noise is liberating and surprises with its reversing co-effect, where the noise works ambient and the ambience hits your ears like a hammer.

Their non compromising musical position, which demands an increased effort at digesting the sound, also offers refreshing and liberating effects.

Iztok Koren: drums
Matej Kolmanko: synth, vocals, FX

Ovo



OvO is a project involving music and life.
Stefania Pedretti (also singer of Allun and solo performer aka ?Alos) and Bruno Dorella (also performing in bands as Ronin and Bachi da Pietra, former drummer of Wolfango and Bugo and manager of Bar La Muerte Records), together in life as well, decided to create OvO in order to go on playing and travel together. Actually, OvO is first of all a tour band, a specific choice which made them moving throughout Europe and North America from 2001 until present, with stops in Mexico and Turkey, performing more than 500 concerts in 6 years.
Their first album “Assassine” (2001) and the second “Vae Victis” (2002) as well were produced by Bar La Muerte and could boast the contribution of guests and friends. After the splits with Rollerball and KK Null, OvO definitively became a duo and the change was marked by the issue of their third album “Cicatrici” (2004), a co-production of Bar La Muerte and Ebria Records. In 2006 the work “Miastenia” was released under the prominent American label Load Records, the crowning achievement of several tours in the States.
After more tours in 2007, in 2008 they released a remix cd on Blossoming Noise, and recorded their new album at Seizures Palace studio in Brooklyn. It will be out in September on Load records.

Franz Fjödor



Franz Fjödor is the pseudonym of Dutch writer and musician Wouter Jaspers (Deurne, 1986). As Franz Fjödor, Jaspers flirts with The Dark; with self-made instruments he creates pieces of soundart in between droning soundscapes, depressed noise and dark folk. His style varies to his mood: from psycho chants to punk screams, from guitar oriented music to field recordings. Over the last year, Wouter played over 140 shows all over Europe, he toured in Russia and released several records on his label Vatican Analog from Tilburg, Netherlands. Besides this he has been active working on his new book, to be published in the fall of 2008. In october he will do a small worldtour through Europe and The United States together with Staplerfahrer. Next year he' ll tour Japan.

Besides his Franz Fjödor project Jaspers is also part of Meldy Peaches and 4daladiez, both featured projects on Vatican Analog. He also released cd's/tapes and several tracks on TIBproductions (NO), Kourlyk Records (BE), Black Syndicate (NL), Goldsoundz (NO), Dirty Demos (UK), Zeromoon (US) and Emerson, Lake and Headache (RU).

Sten Ove Toft



Sten Ove Toft is one of the leading artists in Norway's noise scene. Apart from being an active solo artist, Toft has also validated himself through projects like Ryfylke, Röyskatt, Waffelpung and others. He's also worked with Lasse Marhaug, Anders Hana, Stian Westerhus, Serena Maneesh and The Low Frequency In Stereo. At the end of 2007 Toft released his solo album "Lit De Parade" on his own label Roggbif Records. Ballade.no said it was a perfect cross between aforementioned Lasse Marhaug´s infernal noise and Helge Sten a.k.a. Deathprod´s dark, blurry soundscapes. This is reflected in Toft's performances, which he's had a lot of lately. In 2007 alone he toured the States for a month, the European continent for a month and Great Britain for two weeks. In total, he's performed over 200 concerts and has participated in over 50 releases, on labels all over the world.
