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).

Ringolevio

A young 3-piece alt/indie band from Swansea, S.Wales. Fronted by Josh Ace, their sound soars between insatiably hooky Dave Grohl-esque riffs, and more complex, considered moments that change their pace and sound. Obvious influences such as the Beatles and the Stones can be heard, yet obvious comparisons to the current wave of rock/indie bands are harder to make.

Notebook Of A Mermaid

Notebook of a Mermaid a London-based environmental music project of a mermaid, her four-track tape-recorder and any instruments she can get her hands on. The music consists mostly of instrumental 'songs' but also experimental 'pieces'. Notebook of a Mermaid was founded in 2005, though some of the songs were written as early as 1994. The music is an acoustic manifestation of the artist’s obsession with all things aquatic. The primitive recording methods emphasise the character of a traveller’s notebook.
