AlbaRoss
 | AlbaRoss is the alias of Ross Adamson, a 28 year old fifer now residing in London. He has been making music for the last 9 or so years under various names most recently [and for the longest period] as abelsonofadam. He makes off kilter electronic music and delivers the words he writes mainly in the form of rap. Being one of those people who in general day to day life just won't stop talking [and has been told; 'loves the sound of his own voice'] the pure phonetics of the words pronounced and the sheer volume of them that can be packed into a song were appealing from the first listening of Black Sunday by Cypress Hill as a [very] impressionable 12 year old.
Ross is working at present on various collaborative projects as well as rehearsing and booking shows for summer '08 with the view to gradually recording his debut LP over the summer and autumn months for the very wonderful Crystal Wish back home in Edinburgh.
As much as he enjoys doing this he dislikes writing in the third person.

Binary Zero
 | Born into a world of mayhem, lost in the depravity of its own selfish greed, No one can save the world in this much pain......Even so one man will try, he will stand on high and shout till they hear and see and dance and fill their hearts with music, their minds and souls. And so began the saga of Binary Zero. Bass, Glitch, Techno and some hardcore Metal Guitar became the weapons of choice. The venue for this showdown......the world.

digitalTRAFFIC
 | digitalTRAFFIC create heavy electronic music soundscapes with a futuristic / sci-fi / industrial sound. The instrumentation is entirely electronic and the albums feature a mix of dark ambient aggressive tracks to lighter more classical influenced tracks.
digitalTRAFFIC albums range in styles, but feel very cohesive overall. The albums don't fall easily into any preconceived category, but should appeal to fans of heavy electronic / electronica, ambient / space music, orchestral electronica and experimental industrial soundscapes.
digitalTRAFFICs sound takes the listener on a journey through heavy electronic inspired soundtracks to dark ambient soundscapes. There is a distinct live feel to the albums - clouds of sounds over heavy rhythms - unusual in construction and production but with a natural flow. Classic digitalTRAFFIC sound throughout creating a sound palate of discordant layers and rhythms with a sci-fi edge. Perfect for all MP3 players.

John B McKenna
 | A tad existential, but mostly universal/comprehensible. Folk, bigger than Lo-Fi. Currently radio friendly, although depending on how life treats me, it's subject to change. Written around the world, mostly in Scotland. Recorded in one bedroom/rarely in garage, but always on the same 8 track. 40GB of hard drive space never seemed so small, until recently when "DISKFULL" keeps popping up on lcd screen. Inspired by people who make themselves like King Creosote, by people who get signed up big and remain cool too. Musically influenced by Neil Young, Elliott Smith, King Creosote, Neutral Milk Hotel, Tom Waits, The Elected, and anyone who uses drum machines and synthesisers with organic instrumentation. I also believe Nemis is good, and I don't see a problem with the mailing list.

Mungos Hifi
 | It all began with some reggae records, some old speakers we found in a skip and a dream...Scouring the city for speakers, drivers, amps, and with many incredible pieces of luck/guidance we had enough to help with the J18 protest - after that we were hooked. We made a base in an old man's pub which has since become one of the foremost venues in the town for up and coming club nights, and two and a half years later we are still there every month.
