Fischerspooner

Fischerspooner is an electroclash duo and performance troupe formed in 1998 in New York City. The name comes directly from the last names of the band members; Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner. Spiking extremely retro electropop tendencies (recalling Kraftwerk, early Depeche Mode, and Gary Numan) with a modern approach to programming, Fischerspooner produces a quirky, robotic, and strangely subdued kind of dance music. Their albums can be seen as soundtracks to their stageshows, as opposed to recordings which are performed live.

Audionite

Audionite is the stage name and project of Szymon Rabowicz, a 25-year-old from Berlin who started his career as a producer and began making music seven years ago. He discovered dance music very late so he refuses to stick to the rules and rightly so, what with his already huge span of influences. For a producer who grew up listening to Hip Hop and R&B, his sounds are far from the block parties in Brooklyn and are much more at home in the underground clubs of Berlin.
