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.

Heavily influenced by the London pirate radio scene circa 1995 and his early experience as a sound engineer for jazz concerts and musicals at schools, Eon began dabbling with Drumnbass, Breakbeat and Hiphop, producing on a 486 PC, using Cakewalk , his fathers Akai S2000 sampler and Yamaha TX81Z as the primary sound sources.

As the years passed his skills and equipment grew, and he began DJing at house parties, squat parties & club nights. An ecnouraging moment came in 2004 when he played a set exclusively of music he had written. The overwhelming response gave him the gumption to continue writing and producing in search of the elusive record deal.

Now with ten years experience in the music industry, highlights include plays on XFM, syncs on documentary films and VJ films he was commissioned to create. Eon has a prolific back catalogue of friendly drumnbass & breakbeat

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.
