DMX Krew

The first DMX Krew release was 1995's "Got You On My Mind" on Dutch label DAP, and this was followed in 1996 by "Sound Of The Street" on Aphex Twin's label Rephlex. This record hinted at what was to come with its mix of instrumental electro, synthpop and techno made on vintage equipment. Lots more releases followed, mainly through Rephlex but also on diverse labels including International Deejay Gigolos, Ersatz Audio, Sonic Groove and several others. DMX Krew remixes have also appeared of various artists including Gentle People, Biochip C, Denki Groove, Le Car and many others.

In 1997 Ed DMX started his label Breakin' Records which gained a cult following as one of the UK's first electro and bass labels with releases from DMX Krew and under the alias Computor Rockers, as well as first signings Bass Junkie and Mandroid.

DJ Rephlex Records

In 1989, Grant Wilson-Claridge started DJ-ing at a club located just along the coast from Newquay, Cornwall called the Bowgie, where he and Richard D.James used to DJ on alternate weeks. He was intrigued by the music Aphex Twin was playing and on closer inspection discovered that he was not playing records but rather his own tapes. On noticing this, Wilson-Claridge suggested that they press up some records, and founded Rephlex Records.

Rephlex has not allowed one figure to dominate. The label which set out with the intention to fill "a void in the country's dance music" has carried on this mission bringing out releases by artists like The Bug, DJ Scud and Rephlex old-timer Cylob.

Rephlex has also attempted to bring to the fore lost classics, their recent re-issues of 808 State's classic Newbuild and the Humanoid Sessions 84-88 being prime examples.

Mortal & Chemist

An epic return to the Kazimier for Tom Knapp a.k.a. Skeksi, co-founder of ∆ICASEA.

A UK based contemporary electronic musician active under various guises since 1998.During this time skeksi has performed at events with the likes of Phoenecia, snd, Baby Ford, Christopher Gladwin, Mr76ix, evol, Made, Venetian Snares, LFO, Rob Hall, North Manc Beds, Gescom, Aaron Dilloway (Wolf Eyes), Mark Fell, Vladislav Delay, Theo Burtt, Team Doyobi, Andrea Parker, Konx-Om-pax, Joe Gilmore, SVVN, Mira Calix, Lee Gamble, B12 and more... He also DJed at the Lovebytes festival for 3 years running, was resident DJ at warp affiliated club night Room 237 and took part in a live reworking of Poulenc's “Litanie a la Virge Noir” commissioned by Opera North (released by Con-v - http://www.con-v.org/cnv40.html ).

His main focus has been live work in the last few years and this has now evolved into a 100% hardware semi improvised techno noise bass mutation across bpms, mixed in real time and unique to the event, sound system and space.

One half of M&C aka Mortal & Chemist (∆ICASEA / SKAM) along with Alex Peverett(TEAM DOYOBI / ZERO CHARISMA)this project was initially formed from their shared interests in sampling, programming, tape edits and remixing, the M&C sound has continued to progress and has now landed them deep in worlds of broken hiphop rhythms, sequencer coding, dub spaces, Sci-Fi atmospheres and prolonged duration futurist jams.Their new studio material will surface on ICASEA in 2010 and they continue to perform as a live entity -together when possible although they now live on separate continents, and also separately. studio based work continues via sharing audio files and patches across duplicated hardware and computer set ups.M&C have performed select rare live shows including an appearance at the legendary Autechre curated “All Tomorrow’s Parties” Festival (UK, 2003), Tokyo’s Trench Warfare event (JP, 2007) and most recently the UK Launch of ICASEA records (UK, 2008). They have released a 12”and a CD on SKAM Records and have contributed tracks to several international compilations.

Pariah Qarey:

Pariah Qarey (aka Dr. Jadge) aka George Maund hatched in 1985 - the year you see in the Back to the Future films, the year after Crass called it quits, and the year before the Challenger space shuttle disintegrated on take-off.

he has made music on computers for about ten years, moving through instrumental hiphop & beasties remixes, to ambient installation collaboration pieces, to a failed big-beat revival album. after taking a break to do rock-band-related activities, PQ met some inspirational liverpool-based characters in the guise of Jacq Sporadic & Casino of Synaesthesia, and attended some heavy duty brutal electric music nights known as Class A Audio & Crack Zombie. after this PQ felt the need to sit back behind a big bright computer moniter again and see if he could still use the beatmapper function, originally invented by sonic foundry. "Pariah Qarey" became the name for the new project, trying to fuse all his favouritest bits from non-rock & yes-rock musics, whether it was hyper-fast like Creshesvky/Canavarro MIDI-classical, or slow & low like Critical Beatdown; dense & repeat-requiring like Autechre & u-ziq, or stark and arresting like Wagon Christ. PQ was asked to do a live set for Upitup in the summer of '09, and immediately after it was agreed that an Upfree release should happen asap. 'Tha Freewheelin Kubic Zirkonia' is what came next - a tribute / homage to the origins of hiphop -as it was- in the early '80s: in essence, a multi-faceted moment of culture. PQ professes that the genre is predominantly Superstep, with hints of Sugna here and there. PQ enjoys basketball in the rain and discussions about how to mix your own paints. PQ stayed inside for the summer so you don't have to.

Happy Birthday!
