AUDIO: BIOS

LJ KRUZER (ai records, uncharted audio, wheels instead of hooves) (uk)
Surviving a childhood diet of ABBA, Def Leppard, Rick Astley and Russ Conway, LJ Kruzer has grown into a modern master of electropop and melancholy ambience, with releases on uncharted audio and label-of-the-moment, Ai Records. Blue notes and fat beats ... Equally at home dicing up the dancefloor or soothing the psyche, LJ Kruzer is all set for very big things.

FRED K.U. (dorp, moonpalace) (fr)
In the London circuit since 1999, Fred Shoeber comes from a French underground Techno background. While over here he's moved into playing a wide range of electronica, is a member of acclaimed local act Dorp and now brings us his own live act. 'Evolved music for elaborated people', he says. Anyone who's witnessed Fred's outstanding live shows in the foundry, and at moonpalace will know what to expect: soundscaping, breaks and razor-sharp turntable skills.

MINISTRY OF LOUD SOUNDSYSTEM (midrange) (uk, fr)
A rare excursion north of the river for these mild-mannered South Londoners. The sound is anything but: experience a bracing blast of ragga, hiphop, dsp and shards of white noise as battle weapons are deployed.
