Bio
Just a few GBs and an old fast tracker program were the start of this one man project from Groningen, The Netherlands. The first outbursts of GerJan van de Kamp were created as early as 1999. The crappy, noisy sounds of those days were termed 'Gerdustrial by a good friend.
Nowadays, the music is varying and the sound professional. Gerdustrial can best be described as spooky, spherical, and danceable soundscapes. eRgo is said to create soundtracks to non-existing movies. The styles eRgo touches range from dark ambient to IDM, from drones to minimal electronics.
In the beginning a lot of samples were being used, as well as loads of fiddling with pots, pans, beerjugs, coins, cassottos, keyboards, guitars and the voices and screams of friends. This enthusiasm resulted in two demos: F(R)ICTION and ALTER ERGO. Reviewers stated Ergo shows much talent to create nice soundscapes and spheres, creating a crossbreed between various styles of electronic music in the broadest thinkable sense ands knows how to keep the listener entertained very well.
Early 2005 eRgo had his first live appearance: an intelligent and diverse show, ranging from ambient to industrial dance music, with extensive use of spoken word and visuals. A group of dancers gave an intense performance which fitted the music perfectly.
Gerdustrial is music for much more than just the dance floor: eRgo has written music for spoken word venues, short movies and in the last part of 2005, eRgo created the music for the dance performance SchoonScheuren and was included in the act as well. Over a period of several months, eRgo toured throughout the Netherlands with the dance group and performed live on stage.
In 2008 eRgo has released his third full-length: ERGO-NOMICA. On this release eleven new songs can be heard, of which several tracks have already been released on different compilations CD's and CD-R's. In a first review is stated that: "(...) the music sounds very personal to me, he has put a lot of heart into making it, and it sounds very professional. It feels like taking a personal trip with eRgo as our guide." You can order a copy for only 5 euro's! Just send me a (myspace)-message...
Coming up: 4 (EP), a tribute to Groningen (expected this fall).

Straight from the underground, wisely turning dubstep into breakstep, Mobthrow bridles upbeat breaks and twisted bass frequencies, in a unique combination of raw power and dark atmospheres. Even though tags are useless when such ceaseless beauty flows throughout this ultra-heavy explosion, new-jazz, techno, ambient, IDM, amen breaks and tons of bass are only some of the directions, in which Mobthrow unfolds his stunning technique.
With this debut release from his new project, Dave Dando-Moore (Detritus) offers us an intensely composed symphony of unending sorrow. This is as raw, open and confessional as music can get. Drawing comparisons with Max Richter, Deaf Centre, Johann Johannsson and The Protagonist, A Wake A Week will evoke cathartic exorcisms of woe in even the most glacial of hearts.
Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's totally free too; my goal with this is to accumulate as many BFF's as possible.
Hi, Thank you very much for the add and welcome to Inanna Naked, your music is certainly very interesting, not only for the good tracks and that dark touch, but specially because is very showy starting with a track into IDM and finishing with rough industrial sonorities, very good! If you wish you can send your cds for inclusion in the database.
