Alex Cortax, whose real name is Alexis Costa, is a young French composer of Electro Dance Music ( EDM), Electro and House.  Passionate about music, the electronic music influences came from his mother – Alex defines himself as part of a world that is both modern and futuristic, His steps into the musical arena came at the age of 14, wring strong compositions at the age of 15.

Starting on “Asus” then drifting on “Macbook pro” Alex Cortax is relentless, writing and re-mixing tracks, being influenced by artists such as Gregori Klosman, Sidney Samson, Nicky Romero and Aviccii.

He started on software such as ‘Virtual DJ’, purchasing a controller ‘Nurmark’ with ‘Tracktor’ software, ending up on Pioneer CDJ2000 decks with ‘Serrato’.

His visual identity is a concrete example of his artistic influences.  His logo reflects his personality, living in a futuristic environment with strong grey and robotic typology set against a burgundy background – colour dynamics which give a ‘sense of motion’ – watchwords in Alex Cortax’s vocabulary.

Dicepeople Music Profile

This music profile is a particular favourite: Dicepeople is a progressive audiovisual collaboration between Matt Brock and Rafael Filomeno. Brock plays and produces the music, and Rafael is the visual artist.

Dicepeople music profile

Dicepeople was originally set up in London, UK in the mid 1990s as an electronic side project when Brock was more heavily involved with industrial acts Noise Union and Replikator. In 2008, however, Brock transformed Dicepeople into his primary musical project and, with it, aimed to go beyond pure electronic music.

Dicepeople – Promo video from Dicepeople on Vimeo.

The tagline for Dicepeople is “dark electronica for the body and mind” because the aim is to create music which combines driving beats with evocative and emotionally engaging harmonies and melodies. The music has an electronic foundation with industrial and EBM components, and it mixes real instruments and voices with synthesisers to add cinematic depth and intensity.

Rafael joined in 2013 as a visual artist to take Dicepeople forward into the audiovisual realm that was always intended for it. The epic, visceral visuals produced by Rafael perfectly complement the powerful filmic soundscapes from Brock.

Dicepeople were nominated for consideration for the 2014 Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition shortlist by the judge Mark Muldoon, who said: “I’m nominating this dark electro-gothy outfit mainly for their full Soundcloud collection of 19 songs; there’s a remarkably high standard being maintained here”.

Dicepeople are currently working on a new studio album which will be released shortly.

The name “Dicepeople” is taken from the book The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart, and the comparison to diceliving is reflected in the wide range of influences and schizophrenic moments found in the music and visuals. Dicepeople recordings and performances incorporate a large variety of styles and genres; but the mood, intensity and dark atmosphere provide the necessary coherence and consistency to bind them together.

Dicepeople influences cover a very broad range of musicians, filmmakers and visionaries including Art of Noise, Black Sabbath, Can, David Cronenberg, David Lynch, Depeche Mode, The Doors, Front 242, The Future Sound of London, Hoodlum Priest, John Barry, John Carpenter, KMFDM, Marshall McLuhan, Massive Attack, Mike Figgis, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Nine Inch Nails, Oliver Stone, Pink Floyd, The Prodigy, Quentin Tarantino, Siouxsie Sioux, Tangerine Dream and Underworld.

Robert’s first live performances were with various punk bands that he played either the guitar, bass, or sang in during his high school years, in 1992 he attended what he believed to be a Deee Lite concert but it was actually very much more. This was the first Rave party that Robert had ever attended, that night he witnessed the Rabbit in the Moon performing live and it changed his life forever…. He immediately acquired a Roland XP-80 synthesizer and began work on what would become his passion in life, producing music.

Mike Moss | Music Profile

Artist: Mike Moss
From: UK, North England
CD: Cold World Plastic Dream
Produced by: Christophe Bride, Oxygene Studios, Manchester
Streaming link: http://soundcloud.com/themikemoss/sets/cold-world-plastic-dream/s-STgkH
Secure download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?mvbumm8owotjdu6
Websites:www.mikemoss.co.uk, www.reverbnation.com/mikemossofficial, www.facebook.com/TheMikeMoss
Style: Pop, Rock, Alternative, Electronic

Bio: Defying typecasts, Mike Moss is an anomaly in the modern world of manufactured pop. Yet, with his diverse musical roots – from hanging out with his Uncle who toured with Ivor Novello, to the mosh pits of Manchester?s rock clubs, he is also emblematic of a new wave of self-made artists, combining innate musical talent with production and marketing savvy.

Born of his healthy disrespect for musical genres and market-fixations, Cold World Plastic Dream is both multidimensional yet coherent, woven together by Moss?s ear for pop melodies, tight orchestration and heartfelt lyricism.

This first album is the culmination of a year’s work and a steady stream of contributing musicians, including Mikey Wilson (ex-Texas and Dust Junkies drummer). But the voice that emerges is inimitably Moss’s.

From the clarion call of the opening anthem, It’s Time, with its Bowie-esque signature vocal, to the pulsing beats of Emotion Machine, Moss toys with expectations and eschews the mainstream, all the while keeping the album fresh and accessible.

Tracks like Drifter have their genesis in the acoustic sets he played on the NYC club scene. But here, they’re transformed into multi-layered tapestries, their humble folk and blues origins swept up into orchestral layers of strings and vocal harmonies. Similarly, Morning Call is emancipated from its humble country roots with hypnotic military drums, chiming guitars and that soul-searching voice.

Neither is Moss afraid of shifting down a gear, and the album is punctuated with beautifully reflective moments, culminating in Only Lies. a simple piano ballad replete with real world story telling and a swelling vocal finale.
