Cujo

Cujo was the first project of Amon Tobin, before he signed to Ninja Tune and started going by his own name. Cujo was scrapped after Adventures In Foam, which was released September 1996. Adventures In Foam was re-released by NinjaTune in 2002 as a two-disc version containing a half-dozen previously unheard tracks. Their press release stated this was because Shadow Records had "been circulating a version of the record with a changed tracklist, different (and unapproved) cover art and mis-titled tracks".

Loka

Hailing from opposite sides of the Mersey pond, Loka’s music provides a soundtrack for a world where ambiguous morality and perverted desire fraternize with an uneasy thoughtful calm. By turns seductive, sleazy, unsettling and evocative, Loka’s multi influenced aural excursions tell tales aplenty, but not necessarily with a happy ending.
After early encounters highlighted a mutual passion for soundtrack scores, electronica and late sixties improvisation, Karl Webb and Mark Kyriacou immediately set about working on material that would form the basis of their forthcoming album.

Da Lata

Da Lata was originally founded by musician and producer Chris Franck and DJ Patrick Forge in the summer of 1996. The idea for the project was to blend afro-brazilian influences with modern dance sensibility incorporating both acoustic and electronic elements in the music. Early experimentation came in the form of remixes rather than original material which proved to be a great way of honing the sound and at the same time gave exposure to the name.

The Death Set

Whilst originally forming in Sydney, Australia in 2005, The Death Set (also spelt TheDeathSet or The DeathSet) have traversed the world delivering their high energy club punk. Now based in Baltimore, America they have extensively toured in the DIY, punk and club circuits with a sound that uniquely attracts audiences in all those scenes. Core members are Johnny Siera and Beau Velasco, utilising just two highly distorted guitars and microphones for recordings, with a third member being their post-casiotone, electronic club backing beats.
