Punch Inc. - Fight ClubThe only real requirement when listening to Punch Inc. is a simple one: volume, and lots of it. Crank those speakers as far as they can go and, if possible, do so within an enclosed space. The resulting reverberations and noise cross-contamination interferences that build up are spectacular: truly the only way to fully appreciate this recording.

Yuki Tendo - SaturnineCrystal clear, yet terrifyingly complex beats coupled with mechanised atmospherics. Haunting sound effects echoing over repetitive melodies. Exciting, sensitively structured sequencing that builds beautifully before floating back down to the grim inter-track silence.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_yukitendo_s.htm
Emmon - The Art & The EvilIf you like your electro poppy, upbeat and catchy, Emmon is the thing for you. Not really retro but more an updating and reinterpretation of the classic electro and synthpop sound. All the hooks and coolness are intact but redefined for a new generation.

Eric Oehler - Null DeviceStarted well over a decade ago by Oehler and college friend/main lyricist Eric Goedken, Null Device has gone from a slightly askew synthpop/EBM hybrid and evolved to a completely askew creative endeavor that combines so many styles of music and lyrical invention whose musis is, to say the least, exhilarating.

Mirko Hentrich and Carsten Stiller - Audiophob"Serving you with best industrial-ambient music since 2004." is the motto of this small experimental music label founded by Mirko Hentrich (of Spherical Disrupted) and Carsten Stiller (of Alarmen). For four years they have worked to do just that, both as a 'conventional' record label as well as, more recently, a netlabel.
