Audio Electronic
Best known for his live electro project Cybrid, with releases on Belief Systems and Exact Science, Gustavo Lanzas brings his love of Electro, Acidhouse, Jack Trax, and Detroit-influenced Techno to the mix.
Drawing from 15+ years of experience as a producer, and an appreciation for the dancefloor classics, audioelectronic is a musical experiment to get back to the roots of electronic dance music. Favoring hardware drum machines and samplers, Gustavo blends rhythms, basslines, and synthetic melodies into a danceable mix. Retro music for the dancefloors of the future.
Solenoid
Solenoid is a Portland (Oregon-USA) based electronic music composer who has explored a variety of genres. Informed by electro, new wave, jazz, disco, noise, metal, classical, and avant garde music, his releases do have common elements when seen as a whole. Tracks usually feature playful and funky percussion and melodic progressions with some signature warbly synthesizer sounds. Solenoid's music develops a kind of baroque 'maximalism' (where most electro/techno/house/disco defaults toward minimalism) much in the vein of early Detroit techno (1st wave)
Titles make references to film, sci-fi, technology, literature, synthesizers and musicology. 90's releases lean toward shuffling, skittering funk with 80's influences, occasionally exploring non-4/4 rhythms. The first 3 albums contain work compiled from a period several years earlier and are often identified with the first generation of US "IDM" artists, though the spirit of experimentation is more akin to free jazz and prog-rock ideas of time signature and melodic structure rather than sonic experimentation. An early issue of Grooves called Solenoid "the American answer to Mouse On Mars".
As part of a free-improv duo, Office Products, and as Mr. Pharmacist, his experimentation of purely sonic ideas is explored under other project names. Post-2002 releases do reintroduce some 'difficult' noise/experimental elements while simultaneously going for more straightforward house/techno sounds.
Much of the percussion programming of Solenoid's music contains detailed accents that suggests a live drummmer. Solenoid is known to use a drum pad when playing live or dj'ing.
SciFiSol
SciFiSol (Christina Broussard), has nurtured a love affair with electronic music through the years combining analog synthesis with her voice in live electronic collaborations and performances. Her current self-produced solo project is an experimental collage of soundscapes that tell a story of mystery and dreams, fusing her love of the obscure with a desire to create innovative and expressive music.
Her creations embody her own unique style of electronica-- driven by complex rhythms and textures while floating upon ambient, emotional overtones, and featuring her voice interlaced throughout.
Resident DJ, The Perfect Cyn, will be laying down the musical concrete for the night! |
