    Mrs Jynx – New Album on Planet Mu
    Enquiries to agency@thecentrifuge.co.uk.
    Mrs Jynx’s second album on Planet Mu was recently released and represents the cemeting of her position as the UK’s premier purveyor of easy-listening electronica. Delicious on its own, or the perfect aperitif to a more uptempo main course.
    Herv – Post-Jungle Rave Master
    Herv is available for live sets. Enquiries to agency@thecentrifuge.co.uk.
    Herv is Dublin-based Ewan Hennelly, an expert in the art of making dancefloors SWEAT. Using every tool at his disposal, including acid, jungle, techno and old-skool influences he provides a mastercalss in the art of RAVE.
    Gareth Clarke – New Album Soon
    Gareth Clarke is available for live sets. Enquiries to agency@thecentrifuge.co.uk
    The word ‘genius’ has been used to describe Gareth Clarke a few too many times for it to be simply hyperbole. Taking his cue from lush textural melodic electronics and the intensity of post-DSP drill’n’bass his heady mix of intricate sonics provide the perfect pleasure amalgam for body and brain. Stay tuned for new album announcement soon…
    Scheme Boy – Ruff and Tumble

    Scheme Boy is available for live and DJ sets. Enquiries to agency@thecentrifuge.co.uk.
    Scheme Boy is a stalwart of the London electronica and breakcore landscapes, having had a hand in many of the best happenings in the capital over the past decade. Never one for sticking to any one style, a Scheme Boy set could take you through a variety of genres, tempos and sonic tapestries whilst never forgetting to keep you grooving along. Although the back catalogue of his releases would indicate a hardcore/breakcore artist (albeit a melodic one), its on the dancefloor that you’ll experience the full spectrum of his sound which covers IDM, wonky techno, dubstep, jungle, DnB and of course hardcore.

    Idiron Soundtrack LIVE (The Centrifuge)
    www.myspace.com/idironsoundtrack

    Idiron Soundtrack has been responsible for several full-on electro / snare-rush live sets at The Centrifuge’s music events and the epic Manifest Sounds EP (CF009). Originally from Bristol and trained in violin and piano, elements from hyper jungle to squelchy acid are fused through an intricate and emotive approach toward composition that conjures goosebumps and rave mentalism in equal measure. He will be showcasing new material from his forthcoming EP (‘turbo kiisu’).

     

    Myoptik LIVE (The Centrifuge)
    www.myspace.com/myoptik

    Celebrating the release of CF023 – “Allusion To Dance” EP at www.thecentrifuge.co.uk.
    For 10 years myoptik has been a radio presenter, dj, music journalist, producer and event promoter based in not-so-sunny Leicester. Live performance is Myoptik’s natural home with appearances in all sorts of places, under all sorts of musical guises and monikers at events such as the Sonic Arts Network, Summer Sundae, Monastery Of Sound and Delia Derbyshire’s old home. Myoptik is also known for his vibrant Leicester based PVC club nights and his ping-discs imprint both of which pioneered his trademark live Funkatronix sound.
    He has worked with the likes of BJ Cole, Chin Chin, I-mitri, Phaelah and Normal Position. On his own his musical demeanor tends towards a wild maelstrom of gutural bleep-funk and emotive soundscapes, accompanied by a glass of rum..

    Kone-r
    www.unchartedaudio.com
    Kone-r is the man behind the Uncharted Audio record label, which has introduced the likes of Cursor Miner, LJ Kruzer, Kings Have Long Arms and plenty of other weird and wonderful sonic tomfoolery to the world. Manning the turntables since 1992 when he discovered the joy of warehouse raves, the spirit of that era lives on in his sets today, with a liberal sprinkling of ambience, techno, breakbeats and plenty of low frequency oscillations. Despite the length of time he’s spent in the booth, he maintains a cutting edge – you’re as likely to hear him drop fresh dub plates by up and coming acts alongside the latest cuts from Berlin to Detroit as you are to hear vintage rave, classic disco and timeless electro. What’s more, every Kone-R set is expertly mixed entirely on vinyl to preserve audio and artistic integrity – just like in the good old days.
