Orphans:
Orphans is a three piece band originally from Westchester, NY (but two of us now live in Brooklyn). A new full length album is currently in the works. "Brooklyn's electronic penetration team. Watch your pants." - Allen Roizman http://www.myspace.com/orphansnewyork

Speak Onion:
Speak Onion's love/hate relationship with the break-beats manifests itself as decidedly break-y music, but with the beats abusively processed beyond recognition and drowning in gobs of feedback and noise. Metabolor, the new full-length on Immigrant Breast Nest, is the most focused and intense Speak Onion work to date and the live sets to support it are poised to destroy destroy destroy. http://www.myspace.com/speakonion

peopling:
peopling is a noise duo out of brooklyn, ny. formed in may 2008, their first EP will be released summer 2009 by the experimental music label Discos Buen Pony based in Valencia, Spain. http://www.myspace.com/ispeopling

"GDFX's 'Choose your Emanation' is the melancholy kosmische beginning of a gravitational ascent into an orgone-powored lunar elevator, it bristles with the foreboding beginning of a Hawkwind mushroom trip glimmer & vibrato, and it does definitely take you into a strange black zone where golden specks of cosmic dust swirl in their eternal hex dance, causing a mild erosion in your left auditory channel which is the echo of alien transmissions projected from beyond a star that perished aeons ago." -20jazzfunkgreats
