Numerous artists share the name Miles. 1) Miles Whittaker is one half of Demdike Stare and Pendle Coven and has recorded in the past under the aliases Millie and MLZ. After almost 15 years writing music, "Facets" is the first release Miles is putting out under his own name and marks a turning point of sorts in his production style, or rather, in its sequencing. It brings together different ends of his production style...
This is a quite unique collaboration, an unexpected one between the italian composer Teho Teardo and Blixa Bargeld, leader of Einstürzende Neubauten and former Bad Seeds. They first met during the realization of Ingiuria, a theatre pièce and right after that they collaborated on a song for a soundtrack, "A Quite Life". That song started the whole process of writing and producing an album together where songs and more experimental pieces could find a common ground.
So no one really knows who VHS Head is. And as with these maybe/maybe-not "disguised" artists, half the fun of listening is trying to figure out whose giant green head is floating behind the curtain. We know VHS Head hails from Blackpool, his debut EP Video Club just dropped on the Manchester-based electronic label Skam, and that Club's "Rent Responsibly"-- an Art of Noise-inspired chunk of chop-and-splice funhouse funk-- is ostensibly more engaging than the discussion surrounding the identity of it's creator.
Slovakian electronic music duo currently based in London has been playing along since 2001. Their abstract music is characterised with glitches and broken and industrial sounds. New LP "Z okna ucha" is avaiable through Urbsounds Collective (www.urbsounds.sk) with which this duo is connected.
22 years old Supabeatz (born Alberto Sansò) comes from Italy.
He started producing and programming in 2001. In 2006, Alberto produced some fresh electro tracks as Supabeatz and got in touch with Ninfa (Hypotron Records//One Eyed Fish). Ninfa knew that she found a talented young guy and signed the first Supabeatz album, 'SEXY HI FI' to Hypotron//Irma Records.
With his first single 'SEXO PERFECTO' Supabeatz came out on Hypotron Records on 12" and the track was remixed by Bloody Beetroots and En Masse (parallel project between Supa & Meno, another young italian producer).
Jackson & His Computer Band is the musical alias of Jackson Fourgeaud, the acclaimed French producer and DJ. A Parisian to the core, Jackson currently resides in Berlin where he is working on his second album and preparing an eye-opening live show.

Atsuhiro Ito (伊東篤宏) was born in 1965. He launched his career as a visual artist in the late '80s, and in '98 began presenting sound performances at art exhibitions and so on. Ito made use of fluorescent lighting (which is also an element of his art installations) in the creation of an original musical device called the optron. He continues to refine the instrument while approaching sound and music from a contemporary-art-based perspective.
