Moldover

Matt Moldover grew up a child of MTV and pop culture in Rockville, United States. But he never looked back after discovering computers, programming, jazz, and electronic music while studying guitar at Boston’s Berklee College of Music, and before long Matt Moldover had become Moldover the mashup king, DJ, and experimental guitarist. Based in New York City, Moldover turned up all over town as an accompanist and DJ, often mixing live remixing and sample manipulation, using MIDI controllers. He named that mixstyle “controllerism” (borrowing the name from turntablism).

Kneebody

Aaron Cohen - Downbeat "Kneebody Creating a New Language" At first, it seems that Kneebody chose a name that intentionally invited anonymity. After speaking to a couple members of the quintet, it becomes clear that they also took a firm stance against presenting a single bandleader. Equally crucial is that they wanted to invent a word that conveys no preconceived musical connotations. "It's a nonsense word that my girlfriend came up with," said saxophonist Ben Wendel. "We wanted a short, memorable word with a nondefinable genre connection.

Ike Yard

Influenced by their punk upbringing, avant-garde schooling, and no wave surroundings in early 80s NYC,- but not beholden to any genre - Ike Yard managed to create a new sound.
By tapping into equal parts the krautrock experimentation of Can, the Neue Deutsche Welle of DAF and the UK post-punk dub of PiL and Joy Division they created sounds and songs unique enough to catch the attention of Factory Records, who made them their first American signing.
