Sabiani
Started to be interested in electronic music at the time, when the electronic scene in Slovakia was still in its infancy. He grew closer with this kind of music in the year 1999 in Switzerland, where he bought his first Yamaha synthetizer as well. In the following years, he started to collaborate with DJs Fero and Fedor, which actually meant the genesis of Wattaz promotion. Wattaz promotion organized number of various parties and the famous Slovak openair festival Rotor is their work too. Sabiani plays everything from house, electro, breakbeat to progressive psytrance. Nowadays, the variety of his records is quite uniqe. Therefore he is able to present sets, which are very rich in sound. If you like a progessive cybersound, youre going to love his performance. The greatest kick of this young man though is his own production. He is the author of some well made tracks released on several labels. Now he decided to start his own music label, Digital Paradox records is the result of this.
Minor Issues
An offshoot of the Sabiani‘s electronic production with live guitars on top. The varying rhythms ranging from ambient chill-out to trancy frenzies are peppered with additional soundscapes provided by the usual suspects, such as the trusted pair of TB-303 & TR-606 and further developed by the guitar, adding finishing touches of funky-bluesy feeling or hard & heavy riffs as required. The live set lasting about an hour can gradually pull the audience into the groove starting with smooth vibes and climaxing with all hands dancing. With the right alignment of celestial bodies, the show is even accompanied by a visual component of notable psychedelic qualities.
Perplex On
Perplex On is a electronic music project from Munich. Between Apparat and Tocotronic, Funkstörung and postpunk sounds of raindrops leaking through the cracks in the city, looking for the jumps to reality where dark psychedelic replaces the omnipresent pathos. The result is on the one hand black metal for digital sleep walkers, but on the other hand dream pop for existentialists.
Daixemo
Daixemo is a predominantly downtempo electronica fusion musician attempting to accommodate a symbiotic relationship between acoustic and electronic melodic elements in his compositions as well as world ethnic and cultural aspects of his personal musical experience and connections. He draws his inspiration from modern electronic music styles as well as various genres of music from all over the world.
Amorphine
Amorphine is one man project, simply put – me and my computer… My name is Martin Linda and I live in Prague in Czech republic in the middle of Europe. I compose computer games soundtracks and produce rock bands… while I work as a computer games programmer… .. beside that I try to project my ideas and dreams into the music for everyone who want to forget the everyday stress – and that’s what is Amorphine about. You can hear pictures of emotions that I tried to implant into arrangements and sounds ranging from trip hop to new age and chillout electronica or breakbeat. Soundwise it uses mostly software synths and samplers acompanied with several live performed and recorded instruments, vocals and effects. That all together is produced in my home studio. The Amorphine started in 1997 (originaly called Ruber Talpa) as an EBM project. Through the time it evolved more toward the trip-hop, downtepmo and chillout gengres. In 2009 I made and released album Emotion Pictures. In 2012 I made album Everyday Reborn and it is released by Digital Paradox Records.
