trip-hop

Michael Forrest is a solo multi-instrumentalist producer based in London. His influences are far reaching, from instrumental hip-hop through ragged electronica to jazz and classical music. The sound is asymmetric, polyrhythmic, often atonal, sometimes dark, sometimes relaxed, sometimes very very tense, but always fun. Multi-instrumentalist Forrest plays all his own instruments - the keyboard, the trumpet, cello, drums, decks and anything else he can lay his hands on.

Shrouded in secrecy, hidden behind an alias and disguised by a beard, Chet Faker is an artist that enjoys the mystery. Hailing from the tight-knit deep disco scene in Melbourne, Australia and taking elements from an acoustic past, Chet Faker has carved out his own style that fuses personal stories of love and loss with an electronica soul, which reaches far beyond his homeland. Chet quickly came to everyone’s attention when his cover of 'No Diggity' hit number 1 on the worldwide indie music aggregator, Hype Machine.

At least two artists get directed to this page with auto spelling correction enabled: 1) The Method, a stuttering, confused collection of posh, common, stupid, talentless geniuses has had a career notable for its massive, crashing failures. Destroyed record companies, destroyed studios, nearly burned down tower blocks, torn banjos, smashed ukuleles, furious publicity witches and some of the worst gigs ever seen in the UK this was always a band to be relied upon for gross indecency and the occasional bit of gross vandalism.

SK123 is a UK-based ambient, electronica and techno artist who began his musical career in the summer of 2000.
