Duran
Duran Duran is a contemporary music icon. Duran Duran Duran's productions
have stormed the national charts in Germany, Holland, Italy, Spain, France
and of course the UK over the last 2 years with tracks such as Traci, I
Love You, Super Awesome EP and re-mixing everybody from Ol Dirty Bastard
to Elvis. Duran Duran Duran delivered one the defining dance album of 2002
with 'Drunk on Cock' album selling 15000 copies in the first month of
release and had another UK Top 40 hit with FUCKING AND IN-BETWEEN FUCKING.
Duran Duran Duran has also delivered multi-selling compilation albums
across the globe. (most notably the 60,000 selling Rod = Huge Cock
breakcore compilation in Germany, an impressive figure as there was almost
no marketing spend whatsoever just word-of-mouth...) |

music for nano-samurai. That's Xanopticon. Not really, but it's not too
far-fetched, either. Liminal Space, xanopticon's debut album for hymen
records, centers around nanometer-sized sound snippets placed one-by-one
in perfect order, creating a mesmerizing fight scene between clangs and
clacks, snaps and pops, noise and thunder. Like microscopic swords locking
in a martial ballet of darkstep rhythms, Liminal Space unleashes a bevy of
cunning musical forms meant to be as much art as it is confrontation.
“In some sense it's a snapshot of my life, in that writing tracks is
always sort of like purging yourself and whatever ideas have been floating
about in your mind,” says Xanopticon's Ryan Friedrich of Liminal Space.
Comparisons run the break/dark/techcore gamut from Panacea to Venetian
Snares to black mass plastics, but the trait that sets xanopticon's brand
of power breaks apart from his peers is the degree to which dead silence
plays a pivotal role in conveying his musical ideas. |

Quite
recently Misantrope from Sydney, Australia has been added to the line-up,
very little is known about him, apart from the fact that he's connected to
the systemcorrupt collective.
