THE TOXIC AVENGER (iheartcomix / Paris)

the-toxic-avenger

The Toxic Avenger, a.k.a. Simon Delacroix, is an electro thrash producer hailing from Paris, France. Taking cues from intelligent hardcore and punk, all the way to 60's pop, The Toxic Avenger brings us a unique blend of melodic rage and screaming synths that create a sonic epic audiences can lose their minds to.

Toxic is Dead, the first single from the currently untitled full length, continues to propel the ever-growing mystique of the man behind the mask. Far from deceased, the Toxic Avenger's ghostly orchestrations and pulsating rhythms, not to mention his colossal bass lines combine for a dangerous and deadly etherealness that is sure to slay dancefloors around the world straight into the afterlife. Additionally, eccentrics Drop the Lime and heavy hitters South Central provide their talents on remixes that further project the dark evolution of our once Superhero turned sinister.

Previously hailed as one of Rolling Stone's Artists To Watch, The Toxic Avenger has secured a place as one of the top electro producers, and has provided his signature touch on a number of remixes for artists such as Ladytron, Late of the Pier, Chromeo, and IHC labelmates Heartsrevolution. Additionally, he has performed worldwide with a slew of respectable artists including MSTRKRFT, Late of the Pier, Black Lips, Yelle, The Teenagers, Vitallic, and the infamous Public Enemy.

The Toxic Avenger is currently on tour worldwide, playing in clubs and at festivals from Paris to Melbourne. Additionally, Scion will be releasing an upcoming sampler that features our new anti-hero's latest hair-raising club offerings. Be sure to check out Toxic is Dead, the next IHEARTCOMIX release set for September 15, and stay tuned for more thrilling adventures of...

...The Toxic Avenger.

PUNKS JUMP UP (kitsuné / London)

punks-jump-up

Punks Jump Up came together in London as a mere accident a few years back. Joe, a born & bred Londoner & David, a Swede just off the boat, had bumped into each other on several occasions, mainly occasions that had to do with music, style & anything visual that looked cool. They both come from a background of punk & dance music, street art, fashion & style all wrapped up in DIY ethos.

Punks Jump Up have always been into making music with a rough edge but with a good hook. PJU love the underground, cutting edge DIY scene but has never shied away from a good melody. They have proven this by remixing acts like Miike Snow (The PJU remix of their song Animal has now got more than one million plays on Youtube), Gossip, Crystal Castles, Lykke Li, Kele, Robyn, Tiga, Yelle, Peter Bjorn & John & now latest Ladytron and all turning their songs into very distinctive dance floor gems.

Blockhead was played all through the summer -10 by 2ManyDJ's as a part of their Under The Covers tour, with the distinctive animations that accompanied each track.

Punks Jump Up's constant traveling and gigging has made them a lot of friends and this shows well on the production of the forthcoming PJU album, it will feature guest appearances by artists like Chromeo, DVNO (of Justice DVNO fame), Black Kids, We Have Band & Men (ex Le Tigre).

2011 looks like to be a very promising year for PJU, first up the release of Blockhead EP at the end of january followed by a string of single releases, an album and then a live show.

Masks are on, sweat too. The ring is the dancefloor. But fists are just thrown in the air, slaps are from their flaming sounds, and dianabol just flows trough their massive basslines. That carnage has the Sidechain Massacre's tag on it, and with their sharp techniques these 'luchadores de la console' will let you totally breathless. Warm up your muscles people, this will be a 'no rules' match. On the blood-red corner let me introduce you the Pelussje. On the other one, you. Ding! ding! ding! VAMOS A LA LUCHA!

GYM HELL (wozzup / napoli )

gym-hell
Here we present a special artist on the first day of our festival on the Iriedaily Main Stage: GYM HELL from Napoli! Get ready!

Gennaro Gimmelli was born in the '90, by the marriage between Moira Orfei and George Weah. Since he was a child instead of listening to his dad's vinyls, house music or playing with old dishes thrown in the garage, he used to play Football Manager, easy. In the '07 through the meeting with a school mate with the same passion, he set up the Herdsmans Cratch duo, now split up to take different ways. The music he prefers is a mix between paprika 90's and space mozzarella, actually not a kind of music, but his music sounds spicy, but not too soft, and as juicy as the dairy . He loves Basement Jaxx, The Neptunes, Armand Van Helden, Fare Soldi and the Portoguse current(Moullinex, Xinobi, Rockets...), Sabrina Salerno and above all Scuola Furano. Thanks to WOZZUP's guys, MADE IN NAPLES, he shared the stage with artist that he would never have imagined to play with, even in his best wet dream. He Already played with: Fucked From Above 1985, His Majesty Andre, NT89, Lazy Ants, Scuola Furano, LA Zebra, Leonardus, Fare Soldi,...

They're just some of the sacred cows whit whom he made people dance. Vote: 7,5, talented. Thanks to his musical culture and a careful research of tracks, his djset are among the most request.

Having musical plans already years ago, Mannequine (consisting of DJ VLT and Musician CL-AUDIO) formed as a group in late 2010 in Zurich.Reworks of the Songs from canadian Metric “Collect Call” and “Sick Muse” were just the kickoff for Mannequine, with much more to come very soon.

2NIB (Bolzano)

2nib
The 2NIB (NO NAME IS BETTER), two DJs and producers from Bolzano took shape in fall 2010 searching for an innovative, rasping and aggressive sound. The final outcome at the beginning of 2011 is phenomenal: 5001 the remix of Chop Suey!, the masterpiece of the band 'System of a Down', and just coming out now, 6001, the new, purely hard song of the duo Nikita & Jolly. Despite the fact of any self-respecting duo, these guys come from two different worlds: while Jolly fancied the hip hop world, Nikita lived in a pure punk world. Their chemistry however lies in the DJ sets, where, starting with a fidget, they warm up the audience, and then they switch to electro, getting increasingly racy and carefully selecting every single song.
Well, what's left to say about these nameless guys...you simply must listen to them!
