Tucker

The man behind "Electoon Wizard" continues to plough his own
original furrow - old school hip-hop, with a touch of humour on
the organ keyboard and a pile of toy instruments. Part jazz, part
funk, part Martian. With Boney M covers thrown in.

The Modified Toy Orchestra

If you thought every instrument possible had been invented, think
again. Here is Brian Duffy to make you change your mind. The man
behind Warm Circuit Records has been adapting toys for years to
make them into musical objects that are as entertaining as they
are original.

Jake

This North American's approach to hip-hop is most unusual. The
man behind the famous "Jack the Rapper" brings together a mass of
influences, styles and benchmarks (including a version of the
Buzzcocks), to make his lyrics into a true musical feast that is
not suitable for purists.

Senior Coconut

Uwe Shmidt's maverick spirit and a fascination for Latin music
has led to him playing a key role in the history of electronic
music. The latest is "Yellow Fever!" a tribute to the legendary
Yellow Magic Orchestra, in an electronic cumbia, bolero and
cha-cha-cha style. Pure magic.

Schneider TM

Dirk Dresselhaus is very comfortable on the fine line separating
indie from electronica. “Škoda Mluvit”, his latest release on
City Slang, is in the same vein, despite his description of it as
indie-rock ragga. A melange of sounds which mixes guitar
arrangements with beats and breaks with pop and glitch as if they
were predestined to be together.

and Marina Yangisawa

Marina Yanagisawa's "Howlin" is a unique musical instrument
largely inspired by the legendary Theremin, one of the oldest
electronic instruments. This device built from acrylic pipes and
microphones makes howling sounds, which are normally thought
unpleasant and impossible to control, into a pleasant musical
experience.
