Whether remixing for the Klaxons, Peaches, or Ebony Bones, the tech-house DJ/producer Brodinski represents the new wave of French electro; altogether bawdy, brutal and sensual. With his bass-heavy house and glitchy techno, he brings on the new French electronic dynamism.

General Elektriks is the brainchild of Hervé 'RV' Salters. A French national, and a keen vintage keyboard player, Salters was playing keys for his bands and for various artists in Paris (Femi Kuti, DJ Mehdi…) before he moved to the US in 1999. After "Cliquety Kliqk", Salters returned with a second opus "Good city for dreamers" (2008)  which  breaks genre barriers by mixing psychedelia, soul, old-school pop,  sampling, indie rock, hip hop and free jazz.

Two sublime voices that seem made to blend together, an acoustic guitar bursting forth with powerful arpeggios, poignant keyboards, and even a catchy ukulele from time to time. Since late 2006, Mark and Morgan have been on tour with over 200 concerts to their credit. Cocoon have gained a stellar reputation with their wonderful debut album "My friends all died in a plane crash”, but also as a live band whose chops have been built on the roads of France and Europe, from smaller clubs to the most prestigious venues. With a gold record, the group has won in the recent months recognition and undeniable maturity wich make them a reference in the french musical landscape. In September 2009, the band released a live album "Back to Panda Mountains". The group has performed in the United States for a tour which included dates in New York, Chicago, Washington and Ooh La La Festival in Los Angeles by echoing the release of their album in the U.S. by Minty Fresh in April 2009.

BINARY AUDIO MISFITS is the fruit of a musical meeting on MySpace between two highly original genres from different worlds. In Fall 2007, after discovering them on myspace, the French rock group Expérience invited the Texan rap collective The Word Association to sing on one of their tracks. The result was so exciting that they decided to continue the collaboration with the recording of Expérience's fourth album at Steve Albini's Electrical Studio, Chicago in 2007.  Over the year, they continue to write songs over the internet and were invited for a residency and a gig in 2009 at the french venue La Cartonnerie, in Reims (France).

Working primarily from his home studio, French musician Sebastien Schuller mixes acoustic and electronic instruments to create enchantingly eclectic music. He likes to treat his voice as an instrument. His vocals, treated like an instrument, tease the listener with a game of hide and seek. His music is a glorious work of art, drenched in both bittersweet pleasure and beautiful grief. His first album "Happiness" has set its mark as one of the most original albums of 2005, and was praised by many successful reviews. In May 2009 he released "Evenfall" with the same impressive touch of melodic purity, pictured with a new diversity of landscapes. He is currently living in Philadelphia.
