eelko (Fractaltribe, Electrogenic)

eelko is the moniker for Boston based DJ and producer, Christopher Carchedi, who is living proof that electronic music production has allowed composers to find a sound and voice all their own, as his music is unparalleled in its uniqueness. While there is still common ground and tradition out there, it's safe to say that now more than ever, no two producers will sound alike, and eelko is one of the most developed and mature examples of this new phase in the evolution of music.

All his instrumental selections sit in the frequency spectrum unobtrusively. This is proof that his years of audio engineering work have manifested well. eelko's music is spacious and airy, using silence as efficiently as sound to create the interlock necessary for an emotionally moving dance track.

Take a journey into the mellow, mature musical world of EELKO for a taste of some next level production that concerns itself with the sound and the sound alone.

FDOT (M.I.A. / RESET FROM START)

The name FDOT is synonymous with dedication to Drum & Bass.

As a new member of the stateside collective, M.I.A., the next level is on the horizon. In 2013, his direction takes a multifaceted approach, both in the studio and in the booth. The many forms of contemporary D&B are explored with attention to transition and narrative, while conveying a forward-moving dance vibe. FDOT holds true to the defense of proper Drum & Bass.

lespecial (The Brain Trust)

Born in the woods of Connecticut and raised in the wilds of Boston, lespecial has established themselves as innovators and tastemakers on their own unique trajectory. The aggressive death-funk dance trio explodes with energetic live sets, tapping into a primitive past distorted through the lense of contemporary technology. Coming off the release of their second EP, Ceremony, preceded by Playonbrother Sessions (2011), Jonathan Grusauskas (guitar/keys/trumpet), Luke Bemand (bass guitar/synth) and Rory Dolan (drums/samples) ignore convention, instead amalgamating the familiar styles of Afro-Latin traditions, Hip Hop, Funk and Metal into a singular sound that dexterously transforms during their live sets and over the course of their studio albums. As Ben Weiss of Relix Magazine puts it, "Amidst the rest of the noise, lespecial is the squeaky wheel that demands attention."

Supersillyus (The Brain Trust, Re:Evolution)

Supersillyus is an electronic musician and producer based in Allston, MA. His music is a genre-bending adventure through psychedelic IDM and dub and he has recently shared the stage with acts like Hallucinogen, Ott, Conspirator, Eoto, Phutureprimative, and Tipper. His first full length release, Grampaspaceshuttle, tickled the ears of the electronic community, earning him a spot on LostinSound.org's Top 5 Newcomer Albums of 2010.

He spent over a year meticulously crafting his second record Tesselations, which was released through Base Trip Records. With this epic double album, Supersillyus allows listeners to explore highly evolved and extensively layered soundscapes, while shaking their asses to a tasty mix of tribal drums, swirling synths, and the occasional marimba solo.Tesselations takes the listener on a journey past boundaries of IDM, world beat, and dub, making use of traditions as old as Sanskrit chants or a child's Saxaboom.
