Prafix Aztech aka Carlo Størup was born in January of 1983 in the Denmark countryside.

His interest in the arts and music emerged at a very young age, first painting, then making music. Prafix is drawn to dark, complex sounds. He has unique methods; finding a spot on the map, starting in harsh noize underground, and then IDM / braindance in the late 90’s, releasing on underground labels in Denmark and Europe.

Prafix Aztech is currently working a hybrid between minimal and IDM/Glitch with a healthy mix of ambience. He is open for new experiments, nothing is too wild or crazy to capture and create, like wild animals running around inside his head, just waiting for his lasso.

Besides creating music and sound art Prafix Aztech is a performance artist, installation artist, painter, and filmmaker. He has a clothing line called High-Quality Grandmother, currently on sale at www.artrebels.com

Prafix Aztech has a condition called synesthesia, which mixes sound and vision, so a part of sound becomes an image, or a whole scene of moving images, and the other way around. Thus the main inspiration for Prafix Aztech is the collapsing of patterns, the creation of spaces, small worlds in their own world, chaos, and offbeat comic.

This Berlin based composer operates in a broad creative playground. Beyond Defined Species – the free exposure in experimenting with sound and structure is nearly similar to the path he goes.

Like life is – it was simply a game console when Ecut started producing over ten years ago. Beside of percussion and turntable sets an autarkic working sound was grown. The using of analog and digital sources as well as deeper assimilated vibes are shading colours between black and white.

Just as diverse is the collaboration base he has attracted from all around the world – with names like Film Academy Vienna, Smovement Berlin, Apjiw (Can), Die Linde Berlin, Antonio de Bragga (Can), N-tje (Ger), Imago Meccano (It) and other in his portfolio.

If there is a background then its drawn from life – his music describes stories of different views and tight suggestions – even more a mirror of the phantasmagorium.

Martello is a 26 year old Estonian writer and music producer with 8 years experience. He is an electrical engineer by trade, music producing and music itself is his hobby and love.

He began by messing with tracker type programs like ModPlug tracker and similar. 2 years ago he discovered sequencer type programs and currently uses Cubase 4. His music is 100 % software and samples. He loves playing with soft-synths’ different features and feels like crazy scientist in another era!

He sums up his style with 3 simple words – electronic dance music. He most loves deep house, dubstep, old school jungle and also modern dance/club music sounds. All these styles influence his music. When he was 6 years old he found his father’s old broken tape-recorder, got it fixed, and found some old tapes by Whitney Houston. This was Martello gone – the music captured him.

Martello says signing with Mai Plues is his first official milestone. His music has also been broadcast several times on Estonian radio station Radio 2.

Psonikadia has been producing electronica for a number of years. Not one to be pigeonholed, Psonikadia mixes differing styles from pure beat-less enveloping soundscapes to breakbeat, dubstep and everything in between.
Having released on various underground netlabels worldwide, Psonikadia has created quite a buzz, even being tipped for greatness by Radio One’s Rob Da Bank.

After last summers’ signing to Vancouver based label Xynthetic Music, Psonikadia released ‘Minds Without Borders’, a collection of sonic environments from cascading atmospheres and deep ambient backroom breaks, currently Xynthetic’s top selling release.

Inspiration for the pieces comes from the peaceful coastal life in Brighton – the sea, the rolling green hills, the realization of living on an island and the sites and sound of the most special place.

Below is a selection of tracks. More are available on request.
