Charanjit Singh

In 1982 the Bollywood session musician CHARANJIT SINGH imported with much pain some of the latest synthesizer equipment into India. A good investment as Bollywood composers liked to feature the latest sound in their songs, and with these keyboards Singh spiced up numerous Bollywood recordings. But apart from that, in the late nightly hours after the studio recording were over, Singh set out on his own, wholly original project.

Toffeetronic

Toffeetronic is the brainchild of English musician Matt Gunn. Matt began his musical journey in the late 80’s in sunny Doncaster where he and his brother would experiment with reel to reel tape loops, Casio keyboards and guitar pedals. Most of their equipment was picked up at boot sales for under a pound and yet they made some pretty ‘out there’ & cool stuff (especially for a couple of school kids!).

Blood Moon

"Possibly one of the most genuinely involving noise projects I've come across recently... Each piece sounds like they've laid their hands on the instruments for the very first time and are mightily pissed off about it... Blood Moon sound something like early King Crimson if they had been twenty years later and spent most of their time undergoing experiments with Electro Convulsive Shock Therapy... Sonic colour mixing through liquidisation."
