Mikey Murka

Mikey started his career back in 1983 with the legendary Unity Sound System in London. Continually rocking the dancehalls then and being a competitor with Shaka's sound the whole thing grew until Rib, the man behind Unity, finally started to produce own tracks. Thus the absolutely unique Unity sound was created, mostly digital smashers simply done with Casio keyboards and SynDrums, the energetic and easy vocal style of the sound system crew all over the place. Mikey scored a few hits then, like the brilliant 'We Try' or 'Ride Pon The Riddim' which reached no.

incite/

incite/ is the Hamburg-based experimental audiovisual electronics duo of Kera Nagel and André Aspelmeier. The electronic duo plays bone-dry minmal electronics, fragmented slomo grooves and broken rhythmic arrangements synced with abstract grayscale videos. From the very start, incite/ has defined a highly authentic sound on its own: Fragmented electric junk and fragile bursts of static noise meet with extra-charged sub-bass-kicks in impressive conjunction with the intensity of the meticulously constructed visuals and physical presence of the duo within their projected image.
