runningonair

Runningonair (Joe Evans) has been writing music since the early ‘80s. The driving force for much of his music has been technology; at first created on reel to reel, progressing through to 4 track cassette, then midi studio and now produced on computer based DAW. The connection extends beyond production into the themes within the music. Found sounds, often technological in nature, are employed to enhance the soundscape. The results are often open to multiple interpretations.

Daniel Dexter

Daniel Dexters connection to the music can be pursued back into the 80's. After he became enthusiastic at first for Punk, he discovered gradually the fascination which radiated from the new electronic music. Particularly both the measure-compatible and radical Melange from pop- and machinelike sound of acts like Kraftwerk, New Order or Depeche mode shaped him strongly. This fascination found its continuation in the 90's with the new electronic Pop Acts such as Daft Punk or the Chemical Brothers. Both his own productions and DJ sets reflect all these influences again.
