Eskimo Callboy

'Eskimo Callboy' don't have anything in common with people in the Arctic region or lightly clad male companions. You could imagine it, though. They are a 6-piece post-hardcore band from
Castrop-Rauxel, Germany. After Daniel, Pascal, Kevin, Daniel and Micha already reached some achievements with their old bands and among other things supported artists like Machinemade God or Callejón, they searched for a new challenge. At the beginning of 2010, they formed Eskimo Callboy along with Sebastian aka Sushi.

Chateau Marmont

Four Frenchmen, childhood friends, united in their love of synth music: dare we say it’s a tale of mystery and imagination, of friendship and self-discovery? Chateau Marmont’s story is half Stand By Me, half Solaris, half Logan’s Run and, yes, it doesn’t add up. They’ve known each other since forever, as children stranded in a hostile landscape dominated by hypertrophied bullies and pathetic louts. They found themselves and each other through synthetic music, so bright and remote in its promises of infinity and eternal bliss, so hard, cold and disturbing when its outlook turns dystopian.

Morgan Geist

This New Jersey native was initially inspired by England's take on the sound of Detroit, but eventually tracked techno back to its Motor City innovators. When he began listening to music, however, it was the sound of early-'80s synth heroes like Devo, Severed Heads and New Order alongside early hiphop, jazz and 60's Hindi film soundtracks. Geist released his first 12" (via Dan Curtin's innovative Metamorphic label) while studying at Oberlin College in 1994.

Aviators

Aviators have nothing to do with this, but its pretty funny.... Created in the Northern hemisphere of the unknown back garden, 8 million souls fought to the death. Only 5 survived. The heroic 5 took it upon themselves to stop all the raping and pillaging that was happening in Whaplode and formed a powerful bond known as 'The Qsnitzelschift' silent Q if you please, danke! Equipped with a guitar, necks, tye dye shirts, odd socks, odd length fingernails, a Bill Joel video, a green oil pastel and voices like angels on horses...

Haujobb

Haujobb (not to be confused with the demogroup of the same name) formed as a trio in 1993 in Germany, with B. Junemann being the third member to the current duo of Dejan and Daniel. Their first release was on cassette only, the now hopelessly out of print Drift Wheeler. This embryonic issue brought them to the attention of Off Beat records, who released their first CD, Homes and Gardens, later that same year.
