Distinct.Radi0 - www.myspace.com/distinctradi0
Distinct.Radi0 don't like classifying music by placing it into categories, however to help people to understand their sound, they describe themselves as an Electro/Dub/Breakbeat group. Their trademark "Distinct.Radi0...the other side of electro" rings true through all of their music which reflects their massive list of influences, beginning with Joy Division and Kraftwerk all the way to hardcore electro with the likes of Man Parrish. They are a duo consisting of an English producer and an American vocalist, the mix of which shines through in each track as Distinct.Radi0 'ELECTRO-fies' you! They recently released their second album entitled "Twins of Terra Incognita" and their tracks are available from http://www.the-muzic.com/

Stiff Kittens - http://www.myspace.com/stiffkittens1
THE STIFF KITTENS are MISS CHIEF & KITTY KATE…. MISS CHIEF got her paws on a set of decks some time ago… and loves to play a bizarre pick n mix of tunes from DFA to The Damned, via BENTLEY RHYTHM ACE! MISS CHIEF has now found a purrrrfect accomplice in KITTY KATE who fuses all that is fabulous with all that is bizarre! Her love of soundtracks, old school hip hop, funky beats and a splash of electro always get the room moving. And a selection of random doorbell sounds merged lovingly with a funked up 80's classic never fails to raise a smile too!
