Ottokraft
Ottokraft from Paris in France is the solo composer William Dark who composes dark industrial electronics. The deep industrial beats hammer through the speakers before reverberating like a pneumatic drill around the room.

Ugly Kids Club
Ugly Kids Club is the duet of Steve Wilson (producer/ songwriter / guitarist) and Aliegh Shields (vocalist / lyricist / guitarist), based in Nashville in the USA, who despite the instruments highlighted are a synth rock out-fit.

There so often seems to be a synergy between my position as I write about a band and their music. Today […]
Sylva-Maria
Sylva-Maria is a hip-hop reggae singer from Chicago in the USA. Although predominately working on her own, Sylva-Maria does work on ad-hoc projects with a regular team, the Knights of the Mic.
