BT mounts mesmerizing journeys with his compositions. He is not only a virtuoso programmer, but an extremely gifted musician.

- Peter Gabriel speaking to the LA Times.

CAREER

Given his enviable resume and illustrious fifteen+ year career, it is difficult to imagine that platinum-selling artist, visionary producer, film composer and technologist BT may only now be beginning to create the best work of his career. An internationally-renowned recording artist himself, he is trusted by superstars such as Sting, Britney Spears, Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Madonna, Seal and Peter Gabriel to produce modernist and memorable hits, with a bleeding-edge electronic flair. He has composed unforgettable scores for films The Fast and the Furious, Partysaurus Rex, Go, Stealth and Oscar-award winning Monster. With his latest two-hour, double-disk opus, These Hopeful Machines, BT definitively weaves both the technical prowess and compositional mastery that reminds us all why he's the composer that all other composers and producers study. On his last full-length LP, This Binary Universe, he created an entirely new genre of evocative electro-acoustic music. As Keyboard Magazine wrote in their review of the album, "In a hundred years, it could well be studied as the first major work of the new millennium. It's that good." Throughout his illustrious career, BT has been able to seamlessly weave together complex, groundbreaking musical elements into compositions that resonate with listeners of all types without seeming academic and incomprehensible. BT joined the Armada music label in May 2012.

CREATION

From an early age, BT, born Brian Transeau, demonstrated a remarkable aptitude for playing and understanding classical music. He was heavily influenced by avant-garde and romantic composers such as Stravinsky, Bartok, Debussy and Rachmaninov. His biggest influences, however, were from everyday sounds that most would take for granted. Growing up in his childhood home in Maryland, BT would notice the meter of the grandfather clock in his foyer, the micro-rhythms of crickets and cicadas and the ambience of passing trains at night.

"When examining my creation process, it makes perfect sense why I am a forced technologist," he explains. "I frequently face the fact that the tools I need to compose music simply don't exist. It is like being an architect without bricks or mortar. I routinely create my own bricks and connective tissue as the diving off point to the compositional process." The drive to actualize the tools BT envisions has led to his evolution as one of the most cutting-edge programmers and technologists in music today. He has expanded this reach into a visionary software venture, Sonik Architects which launched its critically- and commercially-acclaimed iPhone application, Sonifi(TM), last fall.

"I make protracted compositions in classical form with a modern tonal palette. I like to incorporate expanded harmonic structures and tonalities that you don't typically hear in popular music," remarks BT. "The goal is for my audience to feel something evocative and meaningful but qualitatively different than anything they've heard or experienced. It's like searching for a new species of music. In a way, I am more of an explorer than an composer."

COMPOSITION

BT is the earliest of early adopters and widely accredited as a maven of modern sound techniques. "There is a very specific lineage of great composers who blazed a new path in music because they weren't afraid to experiment with new sounds, new techniques and new technologies. These progenitors - Cage, Stockhausen, Xenakis - are the people who set the foundation. Let's not forget that the piano was a radical new technology in it's time. I had a music theory teacher as a boy who once said to me, 'Nothing new will ever happen in the arts again. It's all about studying what's already been done and how you combine things.' I don't think I slept for weeks after that. I knew that was an incomplete idea and set out to prove it wrong ever since."

An avid lover of both mathematics and physics, BT looks for inspiration by experiencing natural phenomena, frequently discovering complex mathematical patterns and structural relationships in everyday objects and environments that are often taken for granted. "I find things in the natural world that resonate with me on a very humanist level, those things are typically the core drive for the creation process. My music is an expression of that awe and admiration of the natural world", he explains. "Quite simply, music is applied mathematics. It is aesthetically beautiful as well as practically beautiful. Rhythm, harmony and structure are all mathematical and math, quite simply, is beautiful."

CONNECTION

"I am looking for the symmetry between patterns that are embedded in the natural world and emotions, feeling states and the human condition. I think my life's work is about dissecting, studying and defining that overlap. Music and mathematics are two sides of the same thing. I am constantly looking for a meeting point of these two ideas," BT clarifies. "I am looking for the symmetry between patterns that are embedded in the natural world and emotions, feeling states and the human condition. I think my life's work is about dissecting, studying and defining that overlap."

"My ultimate goal is to keep the emotional counterpoint and the integrity of the song intact, even when pushing the envelope with style and technique. The faster things get, the less people are willing to take in a body of creative work. How many people can stand in front of a painting and deeply take it in? There are so few things now that will engage us. The intent of consuming music is usually to have an awareness or a feeling, to have an truly, empathic connection to others. Whatever it is that you're going through, music makes you feel less alone. You feel a primordial connection to people and the natural world. My hope is to create something that makes people feel that they have consumed something that completes a void. I want to create something lasting."

FADERHEAD 2013

"I would love this album, as a DJ it just makes my job easier."

-Mark Jackson (VNV Nation)

It's 2013 and Faderhead's electronic music assault is in full swing. One EP, six highly acclaimed albums and two compilations in 6 years - as well as 4 massive worldwide clubhits with "Dirtygrrrls/Dirtybois", "TZDV", "Destroy Improve Rebuild" and "Fistful Of Fuck You" - have moved the project from Hamburg/Germany into the limelight of the harder electro scene. From stompy techno to synthpop to dirty groove-laden electro: Faderhead mashes it all up like no one else which is evident by the new release "FH4? (out since March 1, 2013).

HISTORY:

After releasing the track "The Protagonist" as a one-off compilation entry on the Advanced Electronics Vol. 3, Faderhead received a lot of record company attention and finally signed with Accession Records/Indigo to release his debut album FH1 in 2006. Rave reviews and the inofficial "newcomer of the year" title made FH1 an instant debut-success with standout tracks like "The Protagonist", "Vanish" and "O/H Scavenger". The year progressed and saw Faderhead play shows alongside bands like Combichrist, Diary Of Dreams, SITD, Painbastard and others, winning over the audience again and again.

2007 saw the release of the extremely popular FH2 CD which featured the massive club hit "Dirtygrrrls/Dirtybois", a song that still fills every dancefloor many years later. Faderhead released a music video for the track "Girly Show" and played festivals like WGT (Germany) and Infest (UK) among other shows.

2008 started with the departure from Accession Records and the signing to L-Tracks Recordings. This decision led to serious speculation regarding the future of Faderhead by press and fans, but the free song/video release of the hauntingly beautiful pianoballad "Exit Ghost" firmly silenced all sceptics. Only a few months later the powerful club-anthem "TZDV" was released alongside a very popular video and conquered dancefloors from Moscow to Mexico City. This put an end to any doubts that may have persisted about the direction of Faderhead and established the German producer as one of the top names in the genre at merely 25 years of age. On October 10th, the highly-anticipated FH3 album was released and again gathered top reviews from media and fans alike - FH3's darker mood and more aggressive tones showing once again an evolution from the previous recordings.

2009 brought the release of "Horizon Born", a 5-song EP that featured only ballads. The title track was remixed by Faderhead and turned into a veritable futurepop anthem, which garnered a lot of club play worldwide.

2010 saw the release of "Trilogy". Since FH1, FH2 and FH3 had been sold out and were not reprinted, Faderhead decided to compile the most popular 18 tracks from that release onto one CD. "Trilogy" has become a favorite among new Faderhead fans because it represents the first 3 years on one CD.

In October 2010 the 4th full-length album "Black Friday" was released. The concept album that told the story of a night-gone-wrong. Was accompanied by a 15-minute short movie and quickly garnered reviews as Faderhead's most mature album. Songs like "Destroy Improve Rebuild", "Pussy Rules" and "The Way To Fuck God" became massive club hits and Faderhead's European club tour became a success.

2011 began with a 15-show tour in the USA with Aesthetic Perfection and Everything Goes Cold and ended with a download-only EP release called "The Way To Fuck Clubs", which showcased remixes of "The Way To Fuck God" as well as an acoustic version of "Hot Bath And A Cold Razor" and "The Moth And The Fire". The Shaolyn remix of "The Way To Fuck God" has become a favorite among hard dance DJs all over the world.

2012 turned out to be Faderhead's most successful year yet: the 5th album "The World Of Faderhead" was released alongside 3 impressive 360 panoramic images and 3 music videos. The video to "Fistful Of Fuck You" became a scene hit due to its original style and content. Faderhead headlined a 14-show US tour and played all over Europe including a highly acclaimed set at the completely packed M'Era Luna hangar stage. The European pressing of "The World Of Faderhead" was already almost sold out before the end of the year and Faderhead reached the no. 7 spot of MusicNonStop's best-selling releases of 2012 in the UK, tying And One and coming in ahead of legacy-acts like Fields Of The Nephilim, De/Vision, Suicide Commando and Hocico.

I'm going to make up a bio for him. If you took Richard D. James/Aphex Twin, gave him an American accent, demanded he use more dance-floor-oriented beats, had him master for a number of well-known stateside heavies, and shoved him into some dark dank underground lair where no one could possibly ever find him or hear of him except the most dedicated of cool-hunters, you'd get out the ever so enigmatic Bil Bless a.k.a. Son of the Electric Ghost a.k.a. SOTEG. We don't know how we pulled it off, but we got him to agree to come thread some of the most technical and yet beautiful bassy glitchy music through your head. I'm going to insert a personal bias here, and say that he put on the best live show I've ever seen or heard. Ever. (Sorry everyone else).

PS: No one has apparently yet found his real tune from our DCXX compilation last year (it's supposed to be a scavenger hunt...).

As a part of the upcoming generation of electronic music producers, Psymbionic creates aural experiences that demonstrate the possibility for multi-tempo Bass Music and culture to exist within a range of more divergent influences. Passion and innovation drives this young producer, facilitating his forthcoming and past releases on labels such as Muti Music, MalLabel, and Gravitas Recordings, just to name a few.

With this latest project, John Burcham has been moving bodies and turning heads for several years, playing with acts such as Bassnectar, STS9, Beats Antique, ill.Gates, Excision, EOTO, and Tipper. In addition to festival appearances that include Nocturnal, Wakarusa, and Sonic Bloom, Psymbionic demonstrates heavy involvement both on the stage and behind the scenes at electronic showcases such as his local SXSW in Austin, TX. Burcham's work informs his repertoire with roots in the furthest reaches of the electronic music scene, and grants him a unique perspective on each crowd through the latest developments of the industry.

In a live show context, Psymbionic confronts mixes that are limited to the scope of the build and release, avoiding an industry epidemic of drop-monotony that overpowers the flow of music. Burcham seeks to prove that there are more powerful influences in moving a crowd than simple anticipation, providing an interwoven dynamic that relies on the strength of his blend, rather than the sole force or familiarity of the apex.

Psymbionic's theory of music is a journey that doesn't visit the same place twice, building excitement for what's next not because you can anticipate it, but because you've never been there before.

-DJ Mag

"Really like the Left Right Remix. Rightfully nasty bit of breakbeat madness!"

BlakOPz.....

Clandestine.

Covert.

Their shadowy presence on our roster has been confirmed only to a select few up to now - but with their first major mission alongside AESTHETIC PERFECTION and X-RX about to take place across America, the time has come for us to publicly identify BLAKOPZ as the new tactical unit in DWA's ever-more-powerful army of artists.

With collective field experience of over 20 years in the rave, industrial and related music scenes, veteran DJ/producer Mike Weir (codename "Mindbender") and producer Alex King (codename "Kill The Alex") joined forces in just 2010 to form the BLAKOPZ unit - yet have already been deployed in surgical strikes throughout America opening for the likes of FGFC820, GOD MODULE, HANZEL UND GRETYL, IMPERATIVE REACTION and AYRIA.

Until now, only the occasional rough demo has surfaced online to confirm BLAKOPZ actual existence - but as of now, all that is about to change. Bursting into your eardrums like a flash grenade, BLAKOPZ carefully-crafted debut offering "Blood, Sweat And Fear" is a politically-charged beatdown of industrial-edged hard dance - BLAKOPZ own State Of The Union address, replete with vocal support from their fellow Americans Rexx Arkana of FGFC820 and "Mighty" Mike Saga.

Biography

Performing under "Schlauting Thomas" both Tom Bolton and Schlaut have been a part of the music industry for over 15 years. They are a Production and DJ DUO playing Dirty Electro with sexual overtones and gritty analog production. Both have been in bands spanning across Industrial, Electro, Psytrance and even fused a few genres such as Electro-Hop and Psy-lectro. in 2003 schlaut began his love for electro with the rise of electro-clash. A modern and dirty, sexy (mostly sleazy) take approach to 80's new wave and punk.

<<>>

Schlaut has been in the electronic music community for over 15 years with his first taste of Industrial/EBM music. At the age of 16, he feel in love with the concept of being able to "sample" a sound that someone would find annoying, or not even consider at all and manipulate it to actually move them. Repurposing sound to evoke emotion, thought patterns, and get people to groove.

Schlaut was a part of the first underground LA rave scene throwing outdoor events and being a part of the urban warehouse renegades in early 1990's. Once the scene matured a bit, Schlaut was introduced to Moontribe, and the newly emerging sound of Goa-Trance/Psy-Trance. At this time Schlaut saw the Industrial movement in a holding pattern of original and fresh sound, and turned his attention to Psy-Trance which fused his love of dark distorted production, with the psychedelic sounds of his youth.

In 1998 Psytrip was born. The project broke ground and the group began playing live shows across the US sharing festival stages with the likes of Juno Reactor, Cosmosis, Nik Taylor, Dark Soho, Prophei, Bodhi Sattva, and more.

In 2001 Schlaut helped launch REMIX magazine With a passion for electronic music, Schlaut was able to interface with the music industries gear manufacturers, labels, artists, top clubs and retail environments. Very quickly Schlaut saw a need for bringing in sponsorship to aid the up-and-coming producers by an event which brings workshops and products into the hands of the community. After several successful "Remix Lounge" tents at Music Festivals, the REMIX HOTEL was born. The REMIX HOTEL debuted in 2003 at the Winter Music Conference (WMC) in south beach Miami. The event took over an entire hotel and featured workshops, product announcements and poolside events by the world's top electronic labels. The Remix Hotel continued to return to WMC for several years and went on to tour multiple major cities.

In 2007 Schlaut went back to his roots and joined the INURE, a popular LA industrial band. Backed by the German label (XYZ), INURE shared multiple releases alongside Front 242, Project Pitchfork, and more. Schlaut produced several remixes for the label which topped dance floor charts throughout Europe.

In also in 2007 Schlaut began experimenting with a conceptual project "Mbreyo" with Thomas Bolton. The two had known each other for 20 years and worked on projects in the past, both shared a love for "Music with Purpose". Conceptual, detailed, and unique production with a flair for theatrics was the approach. They developed a hybrid of Electro and Psytrance which told the story of a Cyborg being introduce to humanity for the first time. They produced an EP with about 45 minutes of material and played several shows, but the project was put on hold in 2008 when Schlaut moved to San Francisco. Mbreyo was resurrected in 2010 with a very similar sound and produced a Remix for Nitzer Ebb and are currently working on a new EP.

Description

After producing events and electronic music for over 15 years, Thomas Bolton and Schlaut teamed up for the Live/DJ duo Schlauting Thomas. They debuted the MIDI Light Suits in early 2011 now with over 4,000 RGB LED's and have a world tour planned for 2013.

Miss DJ Jackalope has been the soundtrack to many breakins, 0days, penetration tests, parties, and speeding tickets. She's rocked the Black Balls, pool parties, B-Sides, Ninja Network Parties, and all sorts of fun stuff in between.

Miss Jackalope can be seen spinning Drum and Bass and Breaks throughout the United States and the world. She is also affiliated with the 303 and the North American Drum and Bass documentary, The American Jungle, which is to be released in 2013.

Be on the lookout for random acts of chaos and mayhem and very, very large dirty drops of bass.

Grew up drawing ANSI art and listening to Elastica most notably in Spastic as Krieg -- Spent some good years programming zones on TorilMUD as Greater Areas God; Annam -- Now I am mashing up a bunch of samples! I also been playing piano for my entire life. I take mashing up a step further by reproducing songs from scratch, recording vocals and creating new parts of my own.

Your friendly DEF-CON music organizer! A neuroscientist and electrical engineer by day, Great Scott brings his work home with him and puts these skills to use at night: focusing on writing music that is both emotional, boundary pushing, and filled to the brim with visual imagery. His music and mixes have been featured on esteemed outlets such as BBC Radio 1, BBC Asian Network, Sirius Satellite Radio, and numerous other terrestrial FM and Internet stations. His live sets have been described as magical: never looking to the current trends, but instead always opting to find the true hidden gems that keep the bodies moving, never letting them get bored, and captivating their imaginations. It is this philosophy that has taken him around the world from Beijing to Vegas. On the side, he is the founder of popular live-broadcast Internet radio station Glitch.FM.

I have loved DJing since 5 years old. For me there's nothing better than a room full of people having the time of their lives as I DJ for them. That energy is my drug.

I play regularly for all types of crowds but my favorite are underground events in the California Desert. I've been going to underground events since the days when I would dial into BBSes for info on phreaking.
