Darkmode [UK]
Darkmode aka David Dodds first started producing music back in 1998 when he was studying a 2-year course in a BTEC National Diploma in Music Technology. In the 2nd year of his course he produced a CD for his major project, titled, Fish on Bricks. Some of the tracks were produced in his 1st year of the course using the colleges equipment. He used a Kurzweil K2000 synth and an 808 Drum Machine and recorded the tracks down on a 4-track porter studio. His lecturer gave him a referral for his CD as she didnt believe that he produced those tracks himself and said that he might have chosen the wrong profession. This comment made him more determined to pass the course and to make a career in music. After he finished the course he met Paul Smyth aka Suibom Serum during the summer of 2000 at a free party where Paul was playing at. Later .. becoming mates with Paul he gave him a copy of his CD. After listening to it, Paul, who loved it, encouraged him to pass copies of it out to DJs and live artists that played at Fastbreeder and Reverb, 2 techno nights that were being held in Newcastle at the time. After he handed out a load of copies of it out to artists he started getting good feed back from the likes of Andrew Weatherall, Keith Tenniswood, Regis who liked it that much he would listen to it in his car, DJ Bone and Jason Leach (Subhead). It was through Jason that David got one of his tracks from his CD onto the compilation album, The House of Wax, which got good reviews when it came out in March 2002. So being persistent had paid off. Darkmode produced his first release for testin out records in Nov 2005 titled "The Data EP" featuring remixes from Suade - Adapted Vinyl and London based electro producer Keith Tenniswood aka Radioactive Man. It gained great reviews in DJ MAG, M8 Magazine & on littledetroit.net & was on the top 10 playlists of Shelly Parker, DP-6 & it was charted & played by Ben Sims on his Split radio show. It also ended up on the Electro best sellers chart on Juno Download when it eventually got a digital release in Aug 2007. Darkmode is rapidly gaining a name for himself as a producer, DJ & Live Artist as he was top pick in DJ MAG Pick N’ Mix in 2006 for one of his live sets he posted up on their site & he was runner up in IDJ Raw Talent in March 2007 for a mix he sent them. Some of his material has been getting heavy support from Chris Fink, Jon Rundell, Submerge101 & Shelly Parker. He signed to Submerge 101's label Impact Mechanics back in Oct 2007 & appeared on a release with other artists called the Kung Fu EP. The release has gotten so much attention and has gotten so much publicity and play by big acts such as Dave Clarke,Ben Sims,Chris Finke,Judge Jules,Steve Poindexter and many others. 2008 was a busy year for Darkmode with 2 remixes & his own release Natural City on Bass Gun Records & also remixes & releases on Backwater Community Recordings, Elektrax Recordings, Stereophonic Recordings & 22 Digit Records. Darkmode has played along side established artists such as Radioactive Man, Ben Long, Phil Kieran, Marco Bailey, Ignition Technician & Bas Mooy..

Vector Commander [Brazil]
Alex Strunz has always liked electronic music, ever since he first heard groups like New Order, Front 242 and Depeche Mode.
The Vector Commander project begun in 2002 and takes influence from Front Line Assembly, A Split Second, Project Pitchfork, Nitzer Ebb, and Front 242 as well as several Techno DJs including: Speedy J, Chris Liebing, Sven Vath, Thomas P. Heckmann, Terence Fixmer, Christian Varella, Dave Clake, Adam Beyer, and Richie Hawtin.
Halfway through 2005 the Vector Commander project was changed to incorporate new fusions and sonorities leaving behind the analogical sound, but keeping always, the dark dancing atmosphere.
Towards the end of 2005, triggered by deep research into experiences, new equipment. New technology appeared in Alex’s LIVE PA with analogical lines but without any boundaries, but always with live intervention as a key factor. Thus was incorporated new effects and vocoders in the live situation creating a real Techno show.
From then to now, his LIVE PA hasn’t stopped and he has been at a fair few parties, clubs and Techno raves having at his sides DJs like: Speedy J, Inigo Kennedy, Vince Watson, Dan Physics, and Ade Fenton. He has also been at Brazilian festivals and European Web radios in different countries.

Knut [UK]
A wise man once said, "I've got my head right up Technos arse and I can't get it out." Never a truer word spoken.
Knut is 24 and lives in the UK. He has been producing electronic music for 3 years. He started off making hard techno influenced drum and bass in which one of the tracks featured a breakdown that slowed from 175 to 145 bpm. Something clicked in his head and he hasn't risen above 150 since.
In his music he tries to create a dark industrial soundscape around the heavy beats and pounding bass.
He likes nothing better than to be stood infront of a huge stack of speakers and let the industrial techno machine take over.
