Illingsworthgenre: electronic
added: Sep 18 2009

48 hours of samples, Twitter, insomnia, poor dietary habits, and general discomfort combine to form....Twitterverse Traveler....A journey through strange sounds and random events. The basic framework of each beat was constructed during a 48 hour period. These joints came from a pool of over 20 beats that formed during those tumultuous two days. Many of the joints underwent a bit of tweaking but, the feeling of being on a disorienting journey remains. All love goes to friends, family and DETROIT

added: Aug 27 2009

The Ninth Tentacle are a psychedelic jam-band that sprung up in the early 21st century with the mission objective to provide unusual and interesting soundscapes to take listeners on a ride through the mind. Tunes are built using guitars, synthesizers, drum machines, ethnic instruments and any other bits and pieces left lying around. The emphasis is always on exploration and a healthy disregard for the conventions of the conventional music industry.

Boreqgenre: electronic
added: Aug 12 2009

Boreq (previously known as Terra Perfida) has been producing tracks ever since he was twelve. Turning knobs, experimenting with sounds and creating as much noise as possible. Naturally, he ended up making breakcore. But his path to producing breakbeat-oriented songs wasn't straight. Starting with plain hardcore in '07, he made his name as Dj Bozevuist. After 'Project Bozevuist' had ended another project started... and another and another. Hopping from genre to genre, trying to master it all. This wasn't possible and only by experimenting he found out which genres fitted him. Hardcore left his life and Drum&Bass entered it. Hard basslines were (and still are) the trademark of his music. Who doesn't like a good Cebera Saw? And finally after all these years Boreq started making breakcore. This was begin '09. Now still he is making this type of music, along with Techno, Hardstyle, ambient and Drum&Bass. And some tracks that can’t be put into a genre at all.

Ed Carvalho / Project Mind7genre: electronic
added: Jul 05 2009

My name is Eduardo Carvalho, aka "Ed" or, when I save my songs... "Ed Carvalho". I'm starting Project mind7 as a "band" name. Even though I'm the only band member. This project is about speaking one's mind through music... my ideas or simply my moods. Project MIND7 ( a mind set ) I was born and raised in Brazil. In my native language, Portuguese, the number seven is "sete" (sounds like the word "set"). I decided to add a little of my roots into this project name... so since I added the number seven... to my view, I have a "project mind set" where "set" is just the sound of seven in Portuguese. My music style is more "New Age" / "Experimental" using synthesizers and sound samples.

added: May 31 2009

At the age of 5 i learned how to rowdie. At the age of 8 they put me behind the drums in a band just for fun. At the age of 13 i began playing the guitar and bass but got bored playing in bands at the age of about 17. At the age of ** i discovered that with my Amiga (witch i bought for the graphics) i could make music. Then came the PC. 16mb 840mbHD 90Mhz. After making a couple of track's and making the movie Tayoka, i got distracted for 10 years by party's, work and woman. But those days are over. Now i have al the time in the world to program and make music when ever i want to. All i have is a recycled P4 2.6ghz with 24bit soundcard and a couple of terrabytes. 2 CDJ-500S, a crappy mixer and a medium Kenwood soundsystem. I lost everything i owed twice, but i REbuild my homestudio in the last 2 years.

Shyftgenre: electronic
added: Mar 02 2009

Born in Stillwater, Minnesota, United States. Currently resides in Mahtomedi, Minnesota. This is Shyft's gabber/hardcore/breakcore/drill'n'bass project. Distorted heavy bass kicks, thick synths, and powerful melodies are the aim here- unless it's chopped up progressive percussion. Shyft started playing with music composition at age twelve and production at age fourteen. Stubbornness and impatience cause this artist to learn music programming almost entirely first hand and through trial and error. Experimentation is responsible for the final mix of many tracks. Influences come from many places, and not just the gabber or brain dance scene. It ranges from techno, trance and house genre classes to organic genre classes such as folk and metal. Shyft's musical philosophy focuses on a continuous struggle to make tracks sound better, clearer, and more crisp, as well as breaking down boundaries of genre in terms of both composition and production.

Lacklustergenre: electronic
added: Jan 29 2009

Esa has been composing instrumental electronic music for close to 14 years, and has become a permanent bubbling-under/upcoming artist, which is one of the reasons he has agreed to test out our Starving Artists concept. His material has often been seen in the same playlists as material by Kettel, Plone, other early warp artists such as Aphex Twin and Plaid. The most used reviewing phrase is "early 90s warp / artificial intelligence / beautiful armchair listening techno with a detroit influence". He is one at the fore-front of people releasing music for free via net-labels and otherwise, and has also branched out into physical releases in the past decade. You are free to download anything you like on this page and enjoy it. You are, however, allowed, nay, requested to, if possible, burn these materials to a cd-r or a dvd-r or notify a festival organizer or a venue owner of these tracks - that would be swell. Or, if you feel like it, you could just donate a dollar or two thousand. millio [...]
