F. TROY
The mysterious and ultra-underground F. Troy is a member of MORTAL LOOM
(www.mortalloom.com), the
top-selling electronic band that continually draws comparisons to artists such as Chris & Cosey, Coil, Vapourspace, Yello, and The Art Of Noise. MORTAL LOOM has achieved stunning critical praise,
outstanding sales, and long-running chart success ("Addicted to the Tragedy," their most recent album, charted in the top 100 CMJ RPM charts and was in the national club charts for over 9 months). Along
with fellow musical/alchemical visionaries Adrian Quay and L.F. Gray, Mr. F. Troy continues to blaze new trails in MORTAL LOOM's campaign to get synapse-snapping and cosmos-influenced music into the consciousness
of every sentient being on the planet. It is with his remixing, however, that F. Troy's artistry has reached the most listeners. Creating custom instrumentation is the root of F. Troy's style, resulting in a dreamy
upbeat mixing style. Listeners are guaranteed to hear sounds and mixing
never presented anywhere before. As an artist who has worked in the industry for years, his work is in constant demand by DJs, artists and
clubs on every continent. His remixes are so successful, it has been noted that if you were in a club from the 80's on, you have heard the work of F. Troy.
RD (RANDOM DISTRIBUTION)
In the
space of just a few years, RD (Random Distribution), whose real name is Serge Minko, has taken his place as one of the most-respected creators of progressive trance and electronic music in Russia. His tracks,
"New York City," "Message From Space," and "Silicone" were released
in a three-part collection entitled "Hit For Speed" on the highly-respected electronic music label, Electric Records (part of the large Russian firm, SOYUZ). Based in the Moscow underground music scene, RD is very prolific, touching on numerous styles and genres and regularly seeing critics compare his work to Slacker, Timo Maas, Niels van Gogh, Bedrock, Basement Jaxx, Daft Punk, Da Hool, Darude, Ferry Corsten, Way Out West, Paul van Dyk, Breeder, BT, and Blue Amazon. His 2002 remix of The G-Man's "Shari V" went straight to #1 on a Russian dance chart.
WILLIAM MOROSI
Classically trained but inclined toward jazz improvisation, pianist William Morosi has played with orchestras, chamber ensembles, operatic groups, solo artists, and jazz
groups of every imaginable size. His 1999 CD, "Albumblatter," on M-A Recordings (Japan) has inspired impressive reviews, including: "A great album of very original, introspective piano music." A
collection of original piano solo pieces composed by Morosi, he takes listeners through the realms of romanticism, impressionism, serialism, funk and jazz. In remixing The G-Man songs, Morosi brings a style that
might be called "George Duke on acid" or perhaps "in-the-pocket grooves bounced waaaaaaaaaay out there."
DJ INSANE
DJ Insane always gets crowds moving with a furious
mixture of hip hop, hardclub, trance, progressive, hardtrance, hardhouse, raggamuffin, oldskool classics, and anything else that makes the groove jump, including Hindustani flavors. He states, "I play dance
music with harder, solid oldskool basskicks, sharp synthesizer sounds and blood-rising rhythms." Audiences in major clubs in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Greece, and all over Europe know that he can
back up that statement with sets that rock. He is the leader and founder of the famed DJ team known as The Allianz. In addition to his DJ and remix work, he frequently creates music of his own and has had tracks on
such labels as Ruffneck and the UK label Audiorec. His 2002 remix of The G-Man's "Touch When You Dance" reached #5 on a European dance chart.
THE G-MAN
Scott G, who records under
the name The G-Man, began as a maker of experimental films (he has had his work screened at Cannes and the San Francisco International Film Festival). He has two books published under the pen name of Gerald Laurence
and has been a music writer for the Immedia Wire Service since 1991. He has two albums on Delvian Records, with another album scheduled for release later in 2004. His music is played in clubs and on college radio
stations around the globe. Creator of a new genre of beat-oriented music called grin groove, songs by The G-Man have been called "Moby meets Bowie" (by producer Pete Anderson), "Moby meets Devo"
(by tv producer Paul Rich), and "The rhythm of machines with melodies of the heart" (by music writer Janis Amy). The G-Man's grin groove music fuses 3 elements: the beats of dance music, the melodies of
pop (often '80s-style, as in ABC, Howard Jones, Devo, Art of Noise, and Thomas Dolby), and sly/satirical commentary. In addition to creating great songs, Scott is the owner of G-Man Music & Radical Radio, where
he produces award-winning radio commercials and composes music for both radio and TV commercials. "Sonic Tonic," his next album, is completed and has already excited many listeners in the industry,
including members of the multi-Grammy-winning producers collective, StudioExpresso, and his fellow members of NARIP – the National Association of Record Industry Professionals.
