Barbara Morgenstern
One of the primary producers on Gudrun Gut's Berlin-based electronic-pop label Monika Enterprise, Barbara Morgenstern debuted in 1999 with the Vermona ET 6-1 album. Through 2000's Fjorden and 2003's Nichts Muss, her melodic sense became more pronounced, and with time she also began fielding remix requests (Dntel, Station 17, Ellen Allien, Malaria!, Smash TV). Tesri, a collaborative release with To Rococo Rot's Robert Lippok, came out in mid-2005. The Grass Is Always Greener followed in 2006. Barbara will be playing songs from her new album BM released in October which includes a collaboration with Robert Wyatt.

Peterloo Massacre
Formed in late 2006, Peterloo Massacre (Paul Green, Colin Fry, Howard Jones and Kin) blend 80's electronica with 90's indie, trip-hop and contemporary folk. In result they are guided by the highly unique vocal lines of Kin through surreal synth-based soundscapes. They have been compared to Massive Attack, Thom Yorke and Portishead and have shrugged off the indie electro-pop zeitgeist in favour of something more cerebral and are all the more seducitve in consequence. Their self-titled e.p showcases the band's deft ability to span multiple genres and make it look effortless. The e.p includes a remix by the acclaimed beatmaker and arranger Robert Lippok. If new sounds are craved then Peterloo Massacre are making them loudly.

Caro Snatch
Well it all started back in 1998 with a damaged back, a double-decker bus as a home and a Korg Poly-800 synth. Bedridden after back surgery and forced to be still and horizontal, i got right stuck in with playing allouette albeit a bit largo and messin with a tascam 4 track.
the canny toon of newcastle nurtured my musical rarities, then i shimmied over to the electronic mecca that is berlin before recently re-locating to manchester where i am happily immersed in studio engineering skool.
Described as a "one-woman electronic avalanche", i can be found on stage with a few hardware devices, rockin it in real-time. A raw electronic soundtrack defying category is embellished with multi-lingual poems and the occassional squeals.
Debut album "es muss sein" (see blog) accomplished, the work is intended as a journey through the quagmire of human emotion with an ultimately hopeful conclusion. a feature film soundtrack is next to emerge ("The Other Possibility" by Pinball Films) aswell as collabs, netlabel compilation contributions and remixes. New EP "Plan in it" is set to emerge in Spring 2008 and also developing in the creative facilitator department working and playing with commmunity groups in Manchester area.
