Recently they released a 12” single with Boxcutter - “A Familiar Sound” which gained recognition from people like Mary Anne Hobbs, Paul Rose (Hotflush), Laurent Garnier & also featured on the new Boxcutter album released on Planet-Mu.
Brian and David run a recording studio and are involved with improvised electronics for art exhibitions.

Leading the flocks since 2008, Shepherd brings ewe spiritual guidance in troubled times. The mood is dark, grimy and the landscape desolate. Let Shepherd's hiphop and dubstep endeavors light your path.

Oh right, I see you lads are now based in Uzbekistan?? That's the ticket alright, former soviet bloc... Loads of boiled meats and pickled shit in jars and secret police. Sweet!
The 2nd LP from Berlin's Vertical67. His last album, 'Reflect' remains among the most popular ACPs to this day, but this one certainly tops it, feeling more like a complete album. The themes are similar, at times uplifting and psychedelic, others dark and melancholic, but his production has come on a long way. In our opinion, this LP deserves to rank with the best of 2009, and is certainly among the best Acroplane releases to date.
The 2nd release on Acroplane from Wahn contains some of the most interesting dark soundscapes we've heard this year, and shows a leaning further into wonderfully bassy dubstep territories since 2008's 'Alt.binaries' EP.
A cohesive, distinctive work that exhaustively explores some of electronica's darker realms. We love it.
Includes a remix by Ebola (Wrong Music/Spectraliquid/Acroplane)
The Bug is the main music project of London-based producer Kevin Martin, drawing influence from dancehall, grime, and hip hop. He has released records on Rephlex, Ninja Tune and Tigerbeat6. He is joined for this rare Belfast show by legendary Jamaican vocalist Daddy Freddy.
"Recently, working with MC's has become a central part of my sound. Having the opportunity to work with talents like Warrior Queen, Jah Balance, Eccleton Jarrett (of Jammy's studios, JA), the insanely talented Lady Grew, MC Quilombola, krakken...and many many more, has manifested in a gruffer bass heavy style (a change from the snare rattled tracks of my yester years).
In this collection I have decided to feature Jah Balance & Eccleton Jarrett exclusively to try to give some insight into the genisis of the last year and a half's work. It's nice for me to be able to show these as it gives some grounding to my recent releases; Crossroads 7" on alphabetset, Proper Horror Show on MMR/Ghetto Quietly, Well Sick (upcoming for !Kaboogie) and some random other tracks that pop up here and there." - Kong

Just turn on your Fisher Price Cassette-Recorder and let your mind wander to the first time you played with fire. Or when you swiped your little brother's matchbox cars. It's all hidden between the stumbling beats and the squeaky little melodys. And remember: you don't have to like this music, you have to nurture it!
Colour Codes is Red Box Recorder's second album on Acroplane, and is a definite improvement on last year's debut. Embracing a gamut of different styles, and incorporating live instrumentation and orchestral samples alongside intricate programming, it is an upbeat and colourful record.

Live improvisation, classic covers, one-of-a-kind performances... featuring showcases of some fine local music, a little bit of chaos and a lot of craic.
The second Isocore solo album is finally out after a long wait. Sugna means dirty, soggy, greasy, fat.
Isocore's aim is to destroy music, destroy tempo, destroy. Strumming over hiphop reminiscent beats, battering keys like a 2 year kid would do to dancefloor anthems, Sugna is an intense experience.....
Isocore is Paolo Elmo, producer and designer born in Rome, Italy 1983. He started to produce beats in 2001. In 2003, together with Pierlo, Jacques Malchance and Tracky Birthday, he founded the label Upitup Records (www.upitup.com) and started his live activity. From then to now he played in the most important clubs in Rome and at other shows around Italy, Germany and the UK, alongside artists like Team Doyobi, Ceephax Acid Crew, Tim Exile, Jason Forrest, Cylob, Milanese and Gescom, to name a few.
From March 2009 he moved to Liverpool, where the album released here saw the light. His music, while preserving a distinctive style, is always shapeshifting from electro beats with deadly detuned synths, to dark ambient rap anthems and musique concrete, always with a ironic touch.
I'm just sending out a little reminder about this Saturday's show. Remember, the show runs 9pm - 1am, so get down as early as you can and let's make the best of this beautiful venue. It should be a show to remember, and something pretty unique.
The live sets start at 10pm with Belgium's Egon Fisk.
It's also our last Belfast show for 6 months, as we plan to do work in other countries for a while.
