Codebase - As Codebase, techno producer Tom Butcher made the leap from the
crowded underground scene to the international name-brand when he signed to
Force Inc in 2003, following years of independent projects and laboring.
Born in Houston and classically trained on the piano from the age of eight,
by the age of twelve he was already recording his first compositions. Much
of Butcher's music bears the influence of a diverse roster of electronic
mavens from the seventies, eighties, and nineties. From the synthetic
pleasures of progenies like Brian Eno and Kraftwerk, through to the
disaffected death disco of Giorgio Moroder, Nitzer Ebb, and New Order,
through even further still to the pattern regenerations of Maurizio and
Thomas Brinkmann, Butcher's sound manages to incorporate and rework these
earmarks into something quite inventive and fresh. Even in todays culture of
genre-bending and genre-delineation, Butcher's Codebase project standsout as
a transition, an anomaly.
Psychic Emperor - I can only attempt to describe this wildly original
sounding Seattle band (featuring members of Vells and Plastiq Phantom) as
lo-fi indie-funk-disco-electroclash. Or perhaps better put, a super fun and
highly entertaining band whose music contains elements of all these genres.
They have a brand new self-titled album out on Imputor? records (check it
out at www.imputor.com/release/37/Psychic_Emperor/Psychic_Emperor). If you
can listen to track #10 and refrain from getting up and dancing around the
room like you just don't give a fuck, then you're a stronger person than I.
Mike Perkowitz - This long time Seattle producer will be performing a live
set of original compositions and remix tracks, interspersed with a few of
his highly unique versions of some classic covers sure to get you out of
your seat and leave a smile on your face.
