Flesh Eating Foundation

Flesh Eating Foundation lurk somewhere in the dark spaces between industrial, punk, metal and electronica. Sometimes they rock, sometimes they experiment, sometimes they break stuff. Hailing from the grim and grey midlands of the U.K., they were born in the seventies, moulded by the music of the eighties, pissed off by the 90's and are making some noise about it all in the new millenium. With numerous short run demos and eps under their belt, flesh eating foundation are perpetually unleashing new music, and constantly seek to collaborate and remix with interesting and challenging artists.

Agonoize

It is seldom that a newcomer splits the electro scene in two with their first release in such a way as Mike J., Olli S., and Chris L. did with their MCD Paranoid Destruction. With their musical roots in bands like Klinik or Suicide Commando this release got lots of admiration as well as criticism but all agreed on one thing: “Voll auf die Fresse, voll auf den Dancefloor.” Full in the face, full on the dance floor! This album Paranoid Destruction entered the DAC (Deutsche Alternative Charts) at Number 7, and AGONOIZE remained in the charts for 8 weeks.

Unter Null

Unter Null is an electronic music project formed by Erica Dunham in 1998 in Seattle, WA, now currently based in Hamburg, Germany. The official website is http://www.unter-null.net.
