S.K.E.T. is a powernoise project from Rostock / East- Germany that began in 1994.
We’ve worked on different projects in a range of musical styles, including ebm, electro, noise, ska and neo-classical.
The City of Rostock was a member of the old Hanseatic League.
Formerly it had three dockyards, one of which was in the middle of the city. This dockyard lay directly on the Warnow river. We grew up on the other side of the Warnow.
since late 90s the two solo projects heimstatt and yipotash from dresden/germany moved on separate ways on exploration of musical structures. soon their ways crossed and a perpetual exchange of ideas and musical elements followed.
2001 has been year one of the bundled component called heimstatt yipotash: at march 30th the first gig in chemnitz had been played. due to very intense collective work various completely new interpreations of older songs and -of course- lot of new songs have been produced since then.
Precursor in the electronic scene, Roger Rotor practices his talent in various bands and collaborations.
His eponym project, between techno and industrial, evolves to a more and more rhythmic, repetitive, straight and definitely dance-floor music. Roger Rotor's official website: http://www.roger-rotor.ch

There are three bands called Sonar: an ambiental psychedelic rock band from Hungary, a Belgian industrial act and an italian house/trance act. about the Belgian one:
During the last ten years sonar has become one of the most well-known and appreciated rhythmic-industrial projects. Countless releases and high-energetic live performances assured their top position in this genre. For those unfamiliar, Sonar's sound can be described as synthesized outbursts, strategically placed samples and droning bass pulses, corseted in strict driving beats and minimalistic sequences.
"A single bullet in the head of freak. Music about corruption, terrorism and war." Exocet was launched in 2008 by the versatile labelfounder/producer/dj René Klimaczewski (aka Klima). He is known to insiders especially for his collaboration with the esteemed Architect. The latter was started by the also prolific Daniel Myer of haujobb. Since both are based in Leipzig (Germany) it was inevitable that their ways crossed. Result was in 2005 the up to now most appreciated Architect work The Analysis Of Noise Trading.

Mono no Aware was born as a rhythmic noise project of Leif Künzel in 1995, accompanied by Stefan Böhm as a co-member for a short period and today working as a one man project of Leif Künzel only.
During years Leif has also formed side-projects, such as Norm and MS Mono, both of them are active up to now. Whilst Mono no Aware has become one of the best known projects from German cult label Hands Productions, it is also considered one of the brightest rhythmic noise acts on the scene today, highly valued live-performer and fascinating noise-art composer.
