Artist profiles:
PAN SONIC - TURKU, FINLAND
Mika Vainio and Ilpo Väisänen, members of the party organizing crew
Hyperdelic Housers, created Panasonic in 1993, (the giant Panasonic firm
only realized their existence in 1999, since when they are using the Pan
Sonic alter ego, to avoid the courtrooms).
Their first EP was released on Sahkö Records in 1994, and in 1995 they
released their first album on Blast First. Their sound was exposed a great
deal in 1995, when they, together with Jimmy Cauty from the KLF, showed
off a special armoured vehicle called "Audio Weapons Armoured Car
System" in London's East End in a car park. This vehicle is similar to
those of used by British police to control and disperse crowds on the
streets.
Their rhythmical world is involving electro-break and technoid pulses, but
is mostly undefinable in the midst of the melting voices and noise
streams. They make their own instruments, with the help of their sound
engineer, Jari Lehtinen, whose mind is rather open regarding musical
instruments. "We have a big box with 12 oscillators and we modulate and
crisscross them all the time. Also there is so-called typewriter, which is
built on an old typewriter. We have drum modules that are powered by a
808."
Lately their live setup started to include an MPC2000 sampler as
well. "Our aim is to create a physical effect, that is still worth
listening to, and interesting too."

Audio sample
MEGO - VIENNA, AUSTRIA
Mego began life during the end of 1994. Mego likes to see itself as a
platform for all kinds of infomation and communication carried via modern
electronic media, whether it be a compact disc, MiniDisc, DVD, internet,
video, live PA or a vinyl record release. Extreme effort is put into
packaging and artwork. In 1999 Mego started its internet-only label
Flasch.
Pita, aka Peter Rehberg started to experiment with electronic sounds at
the beginning of the 90's, and since then he worked together with the best
names in the minimal and noise world, including Pan Sonic. Label boss of
Mego, he is interested in the process much rather than the result itself,
as well as presenting the process live and thus creating a different, new
result every time.
Hecker, aka Florian Hecker is an independent composer in the fields of
computer music and digital production. His main aim is the merging of
musical effects, instruments and pushing the boundaries of music formats
as thus achieving new sounds, themes and experiences. He works together
visually with Skot.
Mathis Gmachl and Tina Frank are the visual brigade of Mego. Video
installations, and all sorts of other visuals are created for the music,
with a very strong bond between the 2 media.
