Sideshow

There are 4 or more bands under the name Sideshow: 1) Sideshow was the band of Caulfield founder Bernie McGinn. Originally the band had went under the name of Peer Puppet in the late eighties but decidedly changed right around the release of their first 7 inch. That 7 inch is initially what started Caulfield Records. On top of being the band responsible for the label, they were also a pretty fine sounding one as well. Along with fellow members Paul Tisdale (drums) and Rich Higgins (guitar), Sideshow would release three full-length albums during their time together and a couple 7 inches.

Morgan Geist

This New Jersey native was initially inspired by England's take on the sound of Detroit, but eventually tracked techno back to its Motor City innovators. When he began listening to music, however, it was the sound of early-'80s synth heroes like Devo, Severed Heads and New Order alongside early hiphop, jazz and 60's Hindi film soundtracks. Geist released his first 12" (via Dan Curtin's innovative Metamorphic label) while studying at Oberlin College in 1994.

Daniel Stefanik

Born in the rather provincial area of Riesa-Großenhain, Daniel came in contact with electronic music in the middle of the nineties, falling in love with Detroit techno. Discovering his preference and talent for deejaying he soon started playing at various parties and clubs around, among them Tresor/Berlin and Strasse E/Dresden. As his capabilities at the turntables were near to perfect, he realized that playing records done by others doesn't satisfy him enough.

Eva Be

Eva B has released nice jazzy and dubby stuff on the nujazz label Sonar Kollektiv outta Germany. Inspirations come from sounds like Rythm N Sound, Cinematic Orchestra, Rockers Hi-Fi, Earl Zinger Berliner Eva Be is a producer who commissioned beat poets to spit rhymes over her smoky, minimal beats, and the end result is something like Digable Planets meets Herbaliser meets Soulstice.
Eva is much more concerned with exploring the interface between dub and electronica - using the opportunity to play with boundaries between genres...
