International Style
The International Style remix of Rectify was written and produced by Spanking Machine founders Mistress Victoria and Lord Spanky. Fusing their passions for synthpop and trance music, the track was written over the course of the year, in-between tour dates, sometimes at 30,000 feet in airplanes. Lord Spanky originally created the music to go along with existing vocals from the band's CD. However, upon hearing it, Mistress Victoria had an idea for a layered vocal track taking her own talents one step further. Gator McMurder of the Coffin Draggers recorded the vocals at his studio, where the band also did the final mix down. Finally, Stuart Matheson of Binary Finary and one of the masterminds behind the legendary trance track "1998", mastered the remix. Rumor has it that you might be hearing a bit more from Binary Finary when it comes to this track
DJ Bone
I started DJing in 86, now nearly 20 years later I'm still at it. I have DJed almost every kind of music at one time in my life, but my heart lies with the Goth scene. I am Co-Promoter and DJ for "SANCTUS" a monthly gothic dance night in Knoxville TN and Co-Admin of www.knoxgothic.com I play synths and samplers, and DJ with two bands - Synthesis and KAJT (Knoxville Acid Jazz Trio). I love doing guest DJ spots in other cities, and I am currently available for DJ bookings.
Mental Siege
Mental Siege's concept is a symbiosis between human mind and digital machinery as the perfect way to express man identity. Developing musical experiments since 1992, when he used to play guitars and drums in some bands, but it was only the beginning, because a radical turn of direction came when he discovered sitar (the most hypnotic instrument in the world)! After some studies on pure sound, in 1999, the musical activity under the moniker Mental Siege has started, seeing the definitive integration of human being with technology, in all its forms. Handling different sonorities and (theta)waves, he founded the hardhouse-cybertrance project Cybertron, that still represents his approach to explain some body-mind connections. Many years have passed now, but passion for music and research is still alive, apart from its form, apart from trends...
