Forward Strategy Group present Labour Division, their debut album that follows a string of releases on Perc Trax, their own eponymous label, Stroboscopic Artefacts and Dynamic Reflection. Since their early days releasing on net labels to their current position amongst Europe's most respected techno outfits the Leeds/Edinburgh duo of Al Matthews (Smear) and Patrick Walker have always done things their own way. Drawing on their vast knowledge of electronic music's history Patrick and Al produce music where notable reference points are fused with new ideas to create their own distinctive sound.
Labour Division finds the Forward Strategy Group at their most melodic but also their most brutally uncompromising. Throughout the album the tracks shift between a range of atmospheres and timbres which in turn guide the listener though a number of different listening states, holding their attention and encouraging active listening rather than the passive, barely-there engagement often induced by less adventurous electronic albums.
The first five tracks aim to grab the listener's attention from the very first bar, whilst the tracks making up the second half of the album go deeper the listener, introducing more immersive sounds that hint at influences far beyond the realms of dancefloor techno.
Album opening 'Ident' surprises from its opening moments, being more melodic than you have ever heard the Forward Strategy Group before. The track harks back to the synth workouts of the 1980's but coated in a layer of industrial grime that sets out an aesthetic that runs through the rest of the album. Mandate and Elegant Mistakes both revolve around the kind of semi-broken rhythms which have been a characteristic of both the Forward Strategy Group's output and that of the Perc Trax label of late. The former track builds up layers of delayed stabs and whilst the latter has echoes of classic UK hardcore as the distinction between drum sounds and processed human voices begins to blur.
From then on the duo serve up a blend of metallic percussion and reverberant stabs, effortlessly switching from widescreen soundscapes to razor sharp exercises in minimalism. Metal Image and Industry & Empire trade on their depth whilst Cultivar rounds off the album hinting at post-punk guitar textures without you ever being sure if your ears are hearing live instrumentation or not.
As you reach the end of the album it is clear that this is one of the rare occasions when a collaboration is exactly that, a meeting and melding of the history and skills of two individuals to create a cohesive album that is the key moment for the Forward Strategy Group so far and opens up endless possibilities for their work after the album. releases 28 May 2012

Currently working out of Berlin, Kevin McHugh has spent the last decade living in the German capital or New York and in a sense; these two metropoleis represent the contradiction at the heart of his Ambivalent persona. On the one hand the reckless freedom and hedonism of the Berlin subculture, on the other the more considered, conceptual approach of its New York counterpart. As a result his idiosyncratic sound lies somewhere between the two, a precarious balancing act that manages to infuse stripped down, finked up minimal techno with a distinct sense of purpose, often defined by a pearl of an idea around which his skeletal grooves revolve.

After growing up in Washington DC on a balanced diet of Acid House, Go-Go and Punk, his active involvement in the electronic scene began in New York in 2002, producing a series of memorable parties for Creative Time in the base of the Brooklyn Bridge. Fusing house and techno with experimental multimedia and urban installations, Kevin was quick to recognise connecting patterns of value between these art forms, with temporal, physical, spatial and minimal elements among the most obvious common denominators. If one person embodied these principles through music it was Richie Hawtin. The pair were soon working together, co-producing the Plastikman show at Mutek in 2004. The planning process meant spending the best part of a year in Berlin during which time Kevin assimilated into the scene. Energized, he returned to New York and besides co-presenting the Nerd Tank on East Village Radio, he began working on his own compositions, which quickly led to a debut release on Camea’s Clink label in 2006. His event organising activities also intensified, buoyed by the network of DJs and producers he’d met in Berlin.

It was after one particularly intense party, that Kevin set to work on a new track. Extreme images from the event were still flickering across his mind as he picked up his studio mic and, in a flash of inspiration, laid down a twisted, one-sided conversation in a single take. He passed the resulting track to Troy thinking it was just a bit of fun, a tongue-in-cheek parody for his friends to play. Within days Richie was telling him - the track was blowing up, the dancefloor reaction to R U OK was unbelievable. What followed was beyond his wildest imaginings as the track went global, topping charts around the world aided by Ali Demirel’s tripped-out video interpretation. By 2008, the gravitational pull had become too strong to ignore and he returned to Berlin, hooking up with the Minus community and embarking on a non-stop schedule of live shows and DJ gigs. 2009 also saw him join the line-up for the London Contakt special as well as the release of several remixes, a JPLS collaboration and his own follow up EP is 5.

2010 holds even more promise for Kevin, with back-to-back releases. Rumors shows another quirky wordplay, voiced by a character twisted in knots trying to learn the meaning of all the gossip floating around. His second release of the year comes on strong with a dancefloor bouncer Down accompanied by an aggressive vocal challenge. With a DJ mix and an album in the works, it's already becoming more interesting by the day.

Ambivalent by name, ambivalent by nature, Kevin McHugh insists we shouldn’t read too much into his ideas, but as long as he continues making such bold musical statements, that stimulate the instinct and intellect in equal measures, he’ll just have to get used to the attention.

Parallel 9 is one of Steve Rachmad’s monikers, under which he crafts deep and slightly dubby techno.

Tell us, exactly how long have you been waiting and longing for a new Parallel 9 EP?! Well, we’ll tell you, Dominus – the previous Parallel 9 EP on Music Man – dates from 2005, so a follow-up was long overdue.

But it’s coming, a new Parallel 9 EP has been scheduled for the 14th of May! Three full tracks and three tools, on one fine double pack. Class A material, from the master himself!

Of all the fictitious names he used throughout his career to sign his productions, the ones that remained until today are Sterac, Sterac Electronics, Ignacio and Parallel 9. In the later years, he also releases more and more under his real name. The history of remixes continues into the present, including a variety of people, such as M.A.N.D.Y. vs Booka Shade, DK7, Clashing Egos, Sweet Coffee, Infinity (Juan Atkins vs Orlando Voorn), etc. In the latest years, next to his characteristic techno sound, he also actively focuses on electro, stripping it down to the old-school feel. His Sterac Electronics remixes of the vocal track Love Sweet Love (by Clashing Egos), Keep on Running (by Sweet Coffee) and Body Language (by M.A.N.D.Y. vs Booka Shade), and his own “Keep on running” and “Night Heat” releases on Music Man Records have ended up in the record bags of a wide variety of artists, from techno, to minimal, house and electro. He re-confirms his reputation as an artist with exquisite ear for technical qualities of sound, always returning to his soulful roots and maintaining the warmth of analogue-produced music.

Over the years, Steve lost the count of his productions and remixes. However, he built an oeuvre that is without a doubt of a high magnitude: both quality and quantity-wise. Unfortunately, his busy DJ schedule puts a limit on the time he would like to spend in his studio. Yet, he strives for the balance that would satisfy his enormous artistic appetite and potential. His devotion to his dreams and inspirations drives him safely into the successful future.

Balto nació en 1973 en Honduras, Centro América. A temprana edad mostró interés por los temas rítmicos. Comenzo a tocar la batería cuando estaba en la escuela, años mas tarde le agrega algo de electricidad al ritmo y comienza a tocar el bajo. Al terminar su carrera de ingeniería en el año de 1998 dedica su tiempo a las Islas de la Bahía en el Caribe Hondureño.

En el 2001 pasa algunos meses de verano en las Islas Baleares del Mediterraneo, y es ahí donde decide reemplazar estos instrumentos por el vinilo, mezclas y la electronica. Las visitas a Barcelona, Ibiza, Madrid, Roma , Ámsterdam, Rótterdam... influye completamente su selección musical y estilo de mezclas.

Al volver a Honduras comienza una serie de eventos llamados “Session Club”, ofreciéndo a la vida nocturna de esta ciudad una alternativa fresca de entretenimiento. Al mismo tiempo organizando y participando en fiestas de playa en Las Islas de la Bahía como “Full Moon at Bando Beach”, “New Years Eve at Roatan Island” y se establece como Dj residente y colaborador de uno de los festivales electronico mas reconocidos de Centro América “Sunjam Utila”.

En el año 2004 se crea la agencia “Colors Promote Group” y en el 2007 nace “Modular” como una agencia enfocada exclusivamente en Techno.

Desde entonces Balto se mantiene ocupado planeando y realizando algunos de los eventos electrónicos mas relevantes de Honduras. La idea detras de sus sesiones como Dj es mantener siempre la esencia de una pista de baile intensa, interesante y activa.

Someone Else is Philadelphia's Sean O'Neal, co-founder of the Tuning Spork and Fuzzy Box record labels. He comes from a musical family: His grandfather was a high school music teacher and also played bass with Bill Haley and the Comets, while his father was also in various rock bands throughout the '50s and '60s. In his early youth, Sean lived a cheeseball life performing in choirs and musical plays. He liked to sit with his dad and grandfather watching and listening to Spike Jones, a comical bandleader from the '50s who’d often make music by hitting random objects in the room. In his teenage years, Sean was playing guitar and synths in indie rock bands, while being a huge fan of shoegaze and krautrock.

Since ‘94, Sean has been the force behind ever-evolving, kitsch-driven electro-pop outfit Flowchart, releasing dozens of albums, singles and EPs on labels such as Darla, Morr Music, Carrot Top and his own Fuzzy Box imprint. In around ’98, O’Neal got hooked on IDM, techno and house, having already fallen in love with artists like The Orb, Plastikman, King Tubby and Matthew Herbert. He became intrigued by Herbert's use of field recordings and found-sounds, which recalled a similar feeling to what he gained from the music of Spike Jones.

As his love for minimal techno solidified, Sean teamed up with Jay Haze and Bjoern Hartmann, and together they launched the Tuning Spork label. While making dance music with field recordings became more and more his shtick, Sean grew close to Kate Iwanowicz (a.k.a. Miskate) and Sylvain Takerkart (a.k.a. Fusiphorm), and together they launched the foundsound and unfoundsound record labels. Both labels continue to gain increasing recognition while offering a unique facet to the modern-day minimal scene. Throughout the years, Sean also co-produced events in Philadelphia and New York, and spent a lot of time freelance writing for music magazines and newspapers such as xlr8r and Philadelphia City Paper.

In recent years, Sean's production skills have garnered respect among internationally renowned DJs and labels alike, reflected by his massive discography of releases and remixes for labels like Musik Krause, Tuning Spork, foundsound, Mo's Ferry, Microcosm, Nummer, Kickboxer, Sender, Alphahouse, roman-photo, level non-zero, Mule Musiq, hello? repeat, Revolver and many others. This was accompanied by extensive tours, taking in Russia, Argentina, Europe, Canada, Japan and many American cities.

O’Neal is also active in Philadephia's deep house, minimal techno and experimental communities, co-organizing various events whose guests have included the likes of Magda, Matthew Dear, Sammy Dee, Geoff White, Jeff Milligan and Dan Bell.

Something about Electric Rescue:

Music quickly becomes a passion for electric rescue, at the age of ten. In 1989, he discovered the electronic dance music and went to the « Boy ».

The musical « revelation » was immediate. Two years later he performed in the very first Parisian raves (Mozinor, Osiris, Cosmos Factory...). In 1993 electric rescue begun to organise regular parties as member of the Mentasm crew. From 1996 to 2001, he drove the famous

EL.UE private parties, gathering the techno heads of Paris for unforgettable nights. The adventure continues today under a new party named: Play.

Juggling between many occupations, electric rescue also begun producing in 1995... In 1999, he created the label Calme Records. He produced his own tracks under the name D'Jedi and also electric rescue and many international artists like oxia, scan x, thomas p heckmann, suburban knight, woody mc bride, neil landstrumm, ....

In 2000, he learnt the basics of sound design and worked for advertising films, tv commercials, .... The year after, he wrote soundtracks for 2 movies.

In 2006, he created a new label influenced by the new electronic tendances (electro, minimal and nu school techno). He wanted to produce with skryptöm a modern & dance floor music, always help creation and diversity, and in search of experimentation and discovery. Artists who appear on skryptöm are julian jeweil, popof, umek, mark broom, scan x, n'to, lutzenkirchen, electric rescue, danton eeprom, laurent garnier, maxime dangles, commuter.

Between 1998 and 2009, he has been releasing 12inches on cocoon recordings (Germany), boys noize (germany), rekluse & excentric musik (england), harthouse (germany), AFU (germany), skryptom (france), 1605 (slovenia), sci+tec (usa), kondens (germany), circle (germany), yellow label (germany), Fcom (france), communiqué (usa), etc... His first album in 2005 " EL.UE", was released on scandium records and he is at the moment working on the second one ....

In 2010, Antoine goes on displaying his best talent as producer through various releases: a second Cocoon, 2 EP's and a remix for Boys Noize Records, others to come on Sci+tec, Mb elektronics, Rekluse, Excentric Musik, 1605 Recordings, Back Home Rec, Tracker 1, Sleaze Rec, IRM Records, Frequenza Rec and Skryptöm. Within December, with more than 12 releases expected, the announce of a collaboration with Brodinski... It looks like Antoine's imprint, "avant garde" techno with modern rave parties taste, has never been so demanded!

His Live act, praised by both public audience and professionals of the electronic music (Pont Du Gard, Astropolis Festival, Nouveau Casino-Paris, Spartacus, etc.), is becoming the most demanded techno live act in Europe and in France.
