Smash

1) Band was formed by the sitar/guitar player Gualberto in 1967. At the beginning of the seventies Smash recorded two albums for Philips label "Glorieta de los Lotos" in 1970 and "We Come To Smash This Time" in 1971. Unfortunately early death of the vocalist Julio Matito bring band to the end. Music which Smash create is compare to Moody Blues and Vanilla Fudge psychodelic mood. Through guitar style of Manuel Molina we hear evident flamenco touch, applying on traditional "palos" (tarantos).

Meneo

Meneo is pure gameboy reggaetón and electro-dancehall along vocoders and keytars, which are the weapons of choice for *MeNeO*'s deep, flavoured, latin rhythms that are accompanied by Entter's VJ "Fruity Booty" and his made-to-measure vjing application that's been the envy of many at several video art festivals. The MENEO performance investigates artistic concepts that imply the surprising and unforeseeable, accidents, mistakes and coincidences as a means to alter the dynamics of creative performance and to discover new aesthetic presentations.

KyotoSapian

KyotoSapian is a solo chiptune project started in January 2008 by Joe Norman. Since it's inception, KyotoSapian has seen a steady -- though seemingly rather swift -- increase in technique and overall performance. An example of his quickly acquired ability is the inclusion of one of his early tracks on a chiptune music compilation release alongside, notably, Alec Empire, who is performing under the moniker Nintendo Teenage Robots for the compilation.

Superpowerless

Superpowerless is 20 year old electro artist Oliver Hindle from
Leeds (England). In Oliver’s own words, Superpowerless is ‘Game Boy-fueled adventure-core’ but is probably easier to describe as video-game influenced electro-pop with pop punk guitar. He started out playing drums for a number of small high school pop-punk bands, which never got to gigging stage. He then learned guitar and started writing solo songs while playing in bands with friends. Oliver was then introduced to electronic music which would influence his musical direction.
