https://crazylanguage.bandcamp.com/album/cl-045-pictures-from-the-past

Since the early 90Žs Huron has been involved in the electronic music scene, first as a DJ and later producing his own stuff. Highly detailed and clearly embedded in the electronica scene, Huron creates gorgeous spaces through high quality textures and beats, nice dsp-influenced techniques and glitches plus beautiful soundscapes which usually express melancholy combined with a slight and subliminal touch of darkness. As co-founder of Crazy Language, a netlabel focusing on experimental audio like IDM, Glitch, Electronica, etc. he underlines his passion for advanced electronic music and art.

Debut live set from Brighton's Microbes. Alongside championing punk, noise and freaky sounds with his label Cutting Room Records, John Wheatley occasionally creates his own sonic works as Microbes.

DVNT
(Darkfloor Sound, Future Music FM)
https://soundcloud.com/dvnt

Host of the long running Mantis Radio on Future Music FM, and the dominant force behind the acclaimed Darkfloor website - is a man of many talents. With a penchant for the darker, twisted side of techno, electro, DnB and other grimace-inducing bass heavy noise, Mike has been at the cutting edge of techno for the last few years. Culminating in the emergence of his record label Darkfloor Sound - pushing the work of Ontal, David Meiser, Phat Chex, Savagen, Lag + Forest People, Vacated, Matt TDK and Ruins. Expanding and bridging the sounds he champions on Mantis Radio. Expect sharp grime, industrial noise, rich and relentless bass weight, Boards of Canada, and the uncompromising techno backbone you'd expect.
