Also, the label's artist rooster has increased, as well as some long lost bands resurfacing, like SYNTH-ETIK or TYPHOID. 2008 saw the debut of MASCHINENKRIEGER and LAST DAYS..., more primitivist noise, not so much my cup of tea, but 2009 has provided a wonderful harvest with the irresistably charming Drum&Bass of ANGINA P, the slightly intellectual quirkiness of INCITE/ and the fresh takes an Rhythm Noise by British act PCP PRINCIPLE and the tribal-styled GREYHOUND-offshoot SYNTECH - all those are to be well watched!
