   About John Dorr
John Dorr is a solo artist based in the moors somewhere between Leeds and Manchester. He writes songs from fragments of melodies/beats/drones/swells which are looped then built upon with more layers to create music that can either caress your soul into a dreamlike state or disturb your ears with intense walls of sound. Every sound is made from his voice or Fender Telecaster and can be recreated perfectly live. His live performances are thought provoking and intense, with a string of gigs played to enthusiastic crowds. Of course not everyone likes his music "minus infinity points" (sandman magazine reviewing 'manna') but thats art! Create your own banner at mybannermaker.com!

Picadilly Records

Grouper (US) has her latest – Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill – of three albums on Type Records. She has also been involved in collaborative releases, contributing a track to Xiu Xiu’s Remixed & Covered and four tracks to a split release with Inca Ore. Her other contemporaries are Belong, Growing, Tim Hecker, Windy & Carl and Atlas Sound.

Jasper TX (Sweden), with a hefty back-catalogue of releases on labels such as Miasmah, and collaborations with buddy Machinefabriek, is an essential domestic appliance in the household of conceptual music. He is comparable to artists Fennesz, Sigur Ros, Múm and Tape.

Intricate and atmospheric songsmith, Danny Saul (UK) performs with different combinations of musicians, making each gig a unique event. His forthcoming release is "Harsh, Final", and he also performs with Greg Haines as Liondialer.

Fieldhead (UK) music delights in tape hiss, bleak landscapes and decaying analogue loops. He is also a member of The Declining Winter and Glissando. His debut album, "They Shook Hands for Hours" is released soon on Home Assembly.

Muziekreis door het Berlijn van toen en nu - van jazzhel tot technohemel
1e druk uitverkocht – 2e herziene druk eind oktober verwacht

Muziekreis door het Berlijn van toen en nu - van jazzhel tot technohemel is een boek dat in slechts 4,5 maand volledig is uitverkocht. De tweede druk van het boek ligt inmiddels bij de drukker en wordt eind oktober verwacht. Wie tussen nu en 25 oktober het boek online besteld, maakt dus in feite een reservering voor een exemplaar van de 2e druk. En dat belonen we graag! Wie vóór 25 oktober online besteld, betaalt geen verzendkosten.

Angry face

Revu: '…. aanstekelijk historische werk…. '
Volkskrant: '… een prima excursiereader, maar ook een reisgids om zelfstandig mee door muziekstad Berlijn te lopen.'
Dagblad van het Noorden: Jonker omzeilt de valkuil van betweterigheid en waakt voor een te gedetailleerd informatiebombardement. Daardoor leest haar boek als een vlotte, alternatieve resiids, ...'
FileUnder.nl: 'Een must voor zowel muziekliefhebbers als politiek geïnteresseerden.'
LiveXS: 'Voor iedereen die ooit in Berlijn is geweest, er nog naar toe wil of gewoon precies wil weten hoe Berlijn is geworden tot wat het is, lees dit.'
CuttingEdge.be: 'Al weet je best veel van de Duitse geschiedenis, zo aangenaam compact, met een rode draad, kom je zelden tegen.'

Trespassers William (Seattle, US) are the duo of Matt Brown and Anna-Lynne Williams. "Subliminally sublime and pragmatically perfect, you would have to possess an ashtray for a heart not to feel this coursing through your soul" (DSD Music Magazine). A new EP, The Natural Order of Things, is set to be released on Gizeh Records. They will make a church performance with special guests.

Glissando (Sheffield, UK) “have the kind of atmosphere that can captivate and relax in equal measure- never before has tranquillity sounded so urgent. While track lengths of over 10 minutes may fail to hold the attention of the ADHD sufferers among us, with patience it plays like a majestic dream. And it's one you'll never want to wake up from." NME

Operations (Chris Anderson) is a Manchester based conceptual music producer and sound artist. He performs and records with an array of analog synths and effects, reel-to-reel tape and casette players, and guitars. Followers of Tim Hecker, Slowdive, Fennesz, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Stephen O'Malley, Type and 12K Records will surely nod in approval.
