Mendelayev (Mikhail Kazanok) is well-known in Russia and abroad as a producer and sound engineer. He writes all kinds of electronic music and his first album was out on Art-tek Records in 2003, becoming one of the first Russian drill’n’bass / idm LPs. This album was highly praised by music press, and soon Mendelayev became one of Russia’s most famous experimental artists, playing live at various clubs across the country. Mendelayev’s second LP is scheduled on Asidsamovar and is composed of his best drumfunk, drill n bass, breakcore and IDM tracks. Apart from Nendelayev, Mikhail plays in a lounge band Sky Residents and other side-projects.
Some geezer who likes to make music and sound.
Macc makes drum n bass, jazz, and breakbeat types of music. When performing live, he performs these tunes live on a drum kit to give it that human feel. That is - sweaty. If he’s not working on his own tunes, he’s mastering someone else’s work, or reviewing all that’s new in the world of chutney.
Cycom has released tracks on various drum’n'bass labels and is reknown for his distinctive sound and beats.
He also runs the netlabel www.plainaudio.com together with Iaka, Martsman, Flowpro and Buzz.
ASC is the most commonly used name for UK based producer, James Clements. His style is a fusion of atmospherics, techno influenced sounds, and fused beats and breaks.
Alpha Omega (Dublin, Ireland), AKA Colin Lindo, is something of a legend, having released on such prolific labels as Reinforced, Outbreak, Trouble on Vinyl, Subvert Central Recordings and many more. He also releases Techno, Downtempo and Electronica under the Nubian Mindz moniker, and has recently been working on funky house and dubstep tracks. We were obviously proud to have him provide our first ever release.
Genetic Sequence is a Drum n Bass project by label co-owner Mattrick, with releases on Formula Inc, Beta Recordings / Nu Electro, Sequential Digital and Transmute Recordings.
Displaying a genuinely unique style, Genetic Sequence is producing some heavyweight tunes that fuse the vibes of years past with the futuristic spaced-out sounds of the future. Watch out for more GS material on Transmute!
Latent Notion were formed back in 2003 when Bobule & Strike joined forces with a mission to make music that they believed in.
There is no set music policy for LN, just music made in the hope that others will find it inspiring. A blend of every influence from Drumfunk to Dancefloor, from Aphex to Zappa, to create a eclectic mix of dnb music.
Later in 2003 LN joined up with Devorah Zeffmann who’s outstanding vocal talent could not be ignored and straight away started recording a number of new tracks with vocals at the forefront.
After a number of Live Laptop gig’s across the UK & Europe LN returned to the studio intent on furthering their sound.
In 2005 Exxon joined LN with his DJ and guitar skills bringing a fresh edge to their sound. LN started recording and mixing their first album and singles at Keynote Studios (www.keynotestudios.com)
In 2006 LN had their first releases on Keynote Records and Kinetic Recordings (distribution through Load-Media) and Transmute Recordings. After a studio relocation they spent months finding muscians and rehearsing the band.
On Feb 21st 2007, Latent Notion’s album ‘Curse Of The Claw’ was released on Transmute Digital.
It’s available on CD and Mp3 from the Load-Media website and will eventually be available from iTunes, Napster, Sony Connect, other major mp3 distributors and all good record shops.
