IJO
The beginning stages of IJO’s musical career took place in the intersection of dark ambient, drum’n’bass and drill’n’bass styles. Later the talented producer moved on to exploring the more accessible easy listening, ambient and IDM territories (though not renouncing his personal attachment to twisted drum’n’bass). Yet even this lighter musical material bore the traces of his experiments with darker and heavier styles, manifested in syncopated polyrhythmic beats and carefully crafted atmospheres.

Peter Hadar
You may ask, why does such a talented dude call himself a "Cool Weirdo". If you spend any time with this ‘musical phenom', you will understand. Peter Hadar born Peter Winstead Jr. in Newark, New Jersey, enjoyed a middle-class upbringing supported by his father, a well-known gospel musician and his doting mother whom did whatever she could so that her child would not end up a statistic. Peter attended the best schools and grew under the tutelage of some of the most powerful ministers in the area.

Soma
There are plenty of artists with this name, which may come from the science fiction tale "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. Soma is the drug citizens take in a fascist future to keep themselves feeling nice & politcally sedate. Mr. Huxley, in turn, takes the name from a legendary visionary drug taken by the priests of Zoroaster, whose make-up is now lost. You can see why it's such a popular band name.
