brains! Until now, many people have had no idea how to survive such an
ordeal. But fear no longer! We have the event that is tailor made for
you...
HOW TO AVOID A ZOMBIE ATTACK!
with guest speakers:
Jimmy Edgar (Warp Records)

Jimmy Edgar is a Detroit-based electronic music artist, signed to Warp
Records. 22-year old Edgar has been stitching beats since he was 10,
when he started producing sounds electronically and fashioned his first
analogue pieces. Influenced mostly by Jazz, funk, street beat and
r&b in these early years, he began his musical pursuit by playing
the drums in experimental bands and by making tape recordings. Most of
these recordings, consisting mainly of pitch bended tape loops, cut
edits, field recordings, and noise tracks, were the beginning of his
experimentations with the technical aspects of production. Jimmy's
intense passion for music also propelled him at a young age to learn to
play any instrument he could get his hands on, including string
instruments, saxophone, and mostly percussion/drum set. This is more
obvious in recent releases in which he shows off his talent by playing
funk and jazz keyboard solos.
By the time he was 15, he started
performing at Detroit raves with contemporaries and techno pioneers
such as Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May. He is rumoured
to be high part of several secret societies, that which have similiar
qualities of freemasonry and satanism. Jimmy is a skilled fashion
designer, fashion photographer, oil painter, video installation artist,
and graphic designer in his own self taught styles. Amongst these
qualities and multi-instruments, he works closely with his "highly
guarded partners" for strict creative purposes. Jimmy is to have been
called a modern renaissance artist, with his Leo rising Scorpio traits
they display a fusion of dark, charming, enticing, mysterious, and very
sexual.
In early 1999 Edgar signed his first record deal with NYC based
Isophlux Records, following a release of a techno track called "We Like
You" on the German label Poker Flat. Then, after only hearing one of
his tracks, Miami based Merck Records immediately signed him and
released his first full length album "My Mines I" [merck009] by the
"dual alter ego" kristuit salu vs. morris nightingale. After the
release of "My Mines I" in February of 2002, Edgar started getting some
attention which lead to touring cities in the US, including New York
City, performing at the infamous experimental music fest the Miami
Infiltrate, Vancouver and selected cities in Japan. Touring he got a
good response from his live performances as he carried a distinctive
energy on to stage and incorporates visuals such as synchronized
projections. He was also asked to perform at the Detroit Electronic
Music Festival 2003 which was his debut as a Warp Records artist, and
in which Detroit witnessed a legend in formation as even the security
got down with the local break dancing squad. His first release on Warp
was a 4-track EP, titled Access Rhythm in 2004. In 2005 he followed up
a second 6-track EP Bounce Make Model, and then his full-length album
Color Strip in February 2006. He is rumoured to be half of the
anonymous Plus Device.
Maetrik (Treibstoff, Iron Box Music)
( Discog | Beatport | Myspace | Audio1 | Audio2 | Video )
From an overly commercial and disgustingly political Dallas underground
scene, emerges a fresh young talent with a deep understanding of
electronic music and an audible dream.
Eric Estornel, aka Maetrik, with more than a decade of actively
contributing to the musical world around him. Always discovering new
sounds and rhythms, Eric has managed to, over the years, seperate
himself from the rest and claim an independence that has made him a
force like no other. Constantly developing himself as a producer is
always on Eric's mind, as he makes his way through a fickle industry
and reluctant audience.
In '96 Eric adopted the Techno and House hybrid sound for its fresh
outlook on electronic underground music. Since then he has worked hard
developing his own sound based on the powerful Tech-House influence of
todays most prolific and accomplished techno and house producers.
Like in his Djing, Eric is always moving foward and never looking back
towards an audible dream that will one day make his mark on electronic
music. So far Eric has been signed to some of tech-house's most
respected labels, and is slowly achieving his dream of doing what he
loves for a living. Look out for releases by Eric in the near future
under the names Maetrik, Mariel Ito, and Jell Cell.
