The final waves of Timo’s set lapping against the effortlessly cool crowd at Leeds’ Mission mark another chapter in his ascension from unknown anybody to underground somebody. He’s just finished recording DJ Mag’s December cover mount CD, mixing funk infested b-lines, progressive, filtered synth lines and wigged-out, stripped back percussion with a nonchalant disregard for any restrictive pigeonholes.
Spencer Parker makes a quite unique style of house music and has remixed tracks by such artists as Ricardo Villalobos and Nic Fanciulli. According to himself his music could best be described as "underground electronic house music".

When it came time to begin working on an album, Moderat suddenly broke up. Meanwhile Modeselektor set a milestone in German music history with their sophomore album, Happy Birthday!, including musicians such as Puppetmastaz, Maximo Park and Thom Yorke.
Born and raised in Metro-Detroit, Ryan (realeasing also under "Berg Nixon" moniker) discovered electronic music in his late teenage years After strictly DJing for a few years, he took the next logical step by beginning to produce his own music in Fall 2003. Drawing from artists like Plastikman, Matthew Dear, Stewart Walker, and a heavy dose of Magda DJ sets, Ryan focused his attention on percussive programming, dubby basslines, and dark atmospheres. By expressing a tireless work ethic in the studio, Ryan was soon noticed for his efforts by local Detroit label, Beretta Music.
