A lot of people have asked in the months leading up to everyone's favorite, annual, (mostly) electronic Christmas music compilation whether or not it would be happening again.
So, as I've announced somewhat surreptitiously, it is indeed going to happen once again.
So far the following artists have confirmed:
Xrin Arms (badass, extreme grind/punk/breakcore cut-ups)
Yatagarasu (freaked out chip-skram)
Baaddd (ultra-weird, huggable, minimalist, electronic parties)
Kindergarten Hazing Ritual (probably the finest "cybergrind" band around)
Lissajou (loopy 8-bit techno joy)
The Toilet (completely brilliant plunderphonics with extreme vocals)
Mickey Roberts (lovable outsider noise and strangeness)
Magicool Beauty Fool (wacky pop-sploitation)
The Three Brained Robot (performance art you can sing to!)
OxygenStar (traditional chiptune turned FM jams with ultra tough drums)
Giggle The Ozone. (avant-surf-prog-punk-rock)
Charlie Boy (synth pop turned digigrind turned new wave turned darkwave turned....)
Josef Motley (abstract hip-hop connoisseur)
White Guys Jumping (one man folk band)
Kamakaze Kitten (cute electronics and breakcore)
Scissor Shock (the king of unclassifiable)
Sakura Pups (digigrind from the days of yore)
Watabou (melodic, video game influence electronics)
Colors Killing Numbers (digigrind influenced digital weirdness)
Active Knowledge (catchy chiptunes and acid-trip karaoke)
Of course, don't forget the people presenting it:
Peppermint Pony (minimalist chipglitch)
A Beautiful Lotus (one of the pioneers of MIDI based digigrind)
Bubblegum Octopus (a sexy man)
There are some other tentative people involved, and I left it up to ABL to ask people on his label/people he knows and likes/whoever else, as well as up to PMP (this was originally our idea after all)... but those are the people that have told me personally that they are on board.
No guarantee they'll all follow through, but hey... that's how it is!
That's all for my update. I need to figure out if there is an "LJ-cut" equivalent for blogspot....
Micro-Mini-Tour to Massachusetts starts Thursday.
Come out and see me!!
