MILTON BRADLEY - Paris / Berlin : 20 years of Underground Techno

ELECTRIC RESCUE
SKRYPTOM
ELECTRICRESCUE.COM
Few French electronic music artists
combine experience, avant-gardism and
guaranteed success on dance floors as
Electric Rescue does. This artist, coming
from the first French raves, is able to rock
any party with his ultra- dynamic techno
and sensual flights of tunes. Promoting his
own labels Calme Records and Skryptöm,
Electric Rescue is truly passionate, flushing
out big tubes and new talents. His
reputation is well-established in France.
Resident at the Rex Club (Skryptöm parties)
and organising «Play» rave parties in Paris,
he invited and played with the most
famous international DJs.
HEARTBEAT
DEMENT3D
DEMENT3D.FR
With a righteously chosen deep-into-life
pseudonym, Heartbeat is a vital organ of
DEMENT3D, where he officiates as an artist, as
well as co-founder. DEMENT3D is a Parisbased
record label, designed to let its artists
freely express the most of their creativity.
Techno is his milestone, with a deep and
industrial background inherited from the
Detroit / Chicago roots, and Berlin/ New York /
Birmingham blossoms. Through his spiritual
and versatile DJ sets and off-beat productions,
he's an explorer of all the boundaries techno
shares with Deep House, Dub, Bass Music and
Dubstep, Ambient/ Noise, Krautrock, Avant
Garde/Experimental, and even Jazz.

DIMUSCHI DIMUSCHI.COM
Dimuschi is a limited series of private
parties, in existence since 2004. Each
edition begins with the search for a space
never before used as the site of a party and
in contrast to the preceding venue. This
space is then transformed in keeping with
its character, as well as with the visual and
musical theme of the event. The aim is to
surprise an audience with a refined taste
for electronic and amplified music. The
spirit of Dimuschi is a result of the synergy
between artistic and technical skills. A
strong sense of unity and harmony works
to catalyse fusions of music, images and
visual art in unexpected venues.
CHRISTOPHE
TOOLBOX
TOOLBOXRECORDS.COM/FR/
Christophe created Toolbox Distribution
back in 1998, which focused on electronic
music and vinyl autoproduction. He also
worked at KGB at Puces de Clignancourt
from 1995 to 1997. Created the
“démothèque” (home-taping in 1990), and
is DJing since 1994.
REMOTE
KILL THE DJ
KILLTHEDJ.COM/ARTISTS/REMOTE.HTML
Black sleeve, ironical title and suitable
sound. With a voluntary opaqueness,
against the tide of trendiness, Remote play
it heavy and slow, the exact opposite of the
light fluffy minimalist clouds. This is a
storm we are talking about...and Carpenter
is not far off. Dark but not cold. Hard but
not insensitive. Remote sounds like the
result of mutant dancefloor generated on
a sinister night by Plastikman at the time of
Consumed and an intensely blasé
Smagghe.

K209 / GROUNDED THEORY
K209.NET
Henning Baer is a man on a mission who's
slowly been building his name in Berlin and
beyond. As one half of the team behind the
Grounded Theory Berlin project, they’ve
hosted names such as Marcel Dettmann, Ben
Klock, Function, Redshape, Traversable
Wormhole, Perc, Pattern Repeat, Terence
Fixmer to name a few. Back in the late 80ies,
the upcoming of Acidhouse marked the
beginning of Milton Bradley’s passion for this
kind of music. First he was a record collector,
but in the end of 1991 he started spinning
records and since 1994 he played in different
clubs. After years of DJing all around Germany
he started the independent label DO NOT
RESIST THE BEAT! to release his own material.
