Artist Type: 

SND

Mark Fell and Mat Steel formed SND in 1998 and were quickly placed at the forefront of new digital minimalism. With a series of influential releases on their own label SND and on the now defunct Frankfurt Mille Plateaux, SND pioneered a sound that combined the linear minimalism of Ryoji Ikeda and Oval, with the rhythmic geometry of techno artists such as Thomas Brinkmann or Derrick May. SND promote an approach to the organization of sound, space and form that owes more to origami than any time based medium.

Gadjo

There are two artists under this name: 1. Gadjo is a rag-tag bunch of instrumentalists who are daft about Gypsy music. They sing like lovesick fools; tooting, trilling, warbling and yupping the crowd up into a storm of dancing. They carouse till dawn with their balkan melodies, swing and ska rhythms and wild songs about rambling, homelessness, infatuated accordions, gold teeth, illegal living and dodgy workmen.

Soul Keita

Soul is an Ethiopian musician and painter living in Paris. He considers Mulatu Astatke his spiritual father. He began writing songs at twelve years old when his father taught him to play the kissar, an ancient East African lyre. He works solely with a dusty 808 and traditional Ethiopian instruments in order to create melancholic folk house.

Soul grew up in Addis Ababa, but left home for secondary school in Cairo.

White labels are most popular with house music and hip-hop DJs.
