Arktau Eos

Born out of the vision of its creators in early 2005, ARKTAU EOS has become a sentient frame capable of capturing fleeting moments of oneiric activity, where essential gnosis manifests itself in blazing hieroglyphs... It is a ghastly and wondrous parade of cryptic images and sounds, which a given recording is a reflection of, thus becoming a new gateway for the perceptive listener. Equal parts stellar and serene, subterranean and disturbing, ARKTAU EOS remains in constant evolution...

Man From the Meteor

A 4-Piece formed in 2010 from Melbourne, Australia, influenced by a plethora of acts (Tool, Deftones, Soundgarden, The Butterfly Effect, Cog, The Tea Party), with a unique sound consisting of soaring operatic vocals, meaty guitar tones, walloping drums & bass, and songs that alternate between lush soundscapes to bone crunching riffs, with intense peaks and troughs. All of which is displayed on their debut single

Sex Worker

Still waters run deep but wild waters run deeper. Both when fronting San Fran free-punk body-music trio Mi Ami or performing angst-dance psycho-dramas under his solo alias, Sex Worker, Daniel Martin-McCormick always succeeds in generating total motion (and emotion) and breaking the fourth wall. His vision of tranced/anguished rhythm questing hits an apex on The Labor Of Love, his LP debut under the Sex Worker guise, and we’ve been soaking in its dark arts for months. Pulsing, lo-fi kraut electronics bubble and sputter under hazy arcs of weirdo vocal smear.

Lys

There are at least two bands called LYS: 1)
LYS is Lithuanian capital-based ambient/drone project. Project's music gets into depths of a strange static-movement of the sound, earlier used to be more IDM/electronic/experimental orientated.

There were some handmade CDr's and internet releases, but now LYS is preparing to release a debut full-length album. EARLIER :

Baseck

Baseck started DJing when he saved up lunch money and sold Nintendo games to buy his first mixer and thrift store turntable at age 13 in 1994. He was soon introduced to scratching and turntable trickery and has been hooked ever since. Baseck has a style made up of breakcore, broken beats, droning atmospheres, and slaughtering noise to create a beautifully fucked collage of sound.
