FEATURING:

TWINE/PHASE4
Hefty : Bip-Hop Records
Urban Mag describes the Twine/Phase4 performance, “With its intricate 
colors, abstract shapes and organic texture, the video seems like a visual 
equivalent of Twine’s music…the work of Phase4 is based on similar ideas 
that are being used in so much music: de(con)struction, abstraction, 
decontextualisation...”.

GREG DAVIS
Autumn : Carpark Records
Carpark is certain that "arbor" is the harbinger of a new type of music we 
like to think of as "laptop folk." Not to be confused with the genre 
"folktronica," laptop folk’s aim is to integrate the digital and analog 
domains. Whereas previous attempts trivialized or treated the electronic 
element as a novelty, "arbor" makes no musical hierarchy. At the beginning 
of this new century…”

WARMDESK
Deluxe : Fallt Records
The sound of warmdesk, aka Bill Selman, combines dense, noisey harmonics and 
dub-like bass with rhythmic patterns and samples from everyday life. the 
desire is to create a multi-faceted "spray" of sound grounded by a pulse of 
polyrhthmic beats (not too far from minimal techno and tech-house).

CRAQUE
Craque is one Matthew Ross Davis, a Chicago based experimental electronic 
musician.  Opi8 describes his music as “blunted, spastic electro beat, too 
fast for the chords trying to keep up with it, too juddering for the 
rubber-earthquake dub bassline that rumbles up out of the depths a few 
minutes in.   It's stratospheric, rocket-fueled experimental dub.”

M.MERCER
409 : Forte Records
Classically trained on the organ and piano from an early age, Matt Mercer 
has been producing music for years, starting in a more ambient/experimental 
vein and moving more and more into a four on the floor tech-house sound.  
Bits and pieces of anything and everything flit in and out of the mix, 
recontextualized, reorganized, reenergized for the dancefloor.
