ABOUT JIMMY EDGAR
Street-smart and wise-beyond-his-years, Jimmy Edgar wanders the desolated streets of junky occupied steaming sewers, an urban ghost town under deconstruction. Reeling through a jungle of industrious landscapes, abandoned buildings, isolated alley ways and homeless people. In the midst of which lies intense feelings of jadedness and despair that makes the city all the more musical in its thriving evolving decay, and being the inspiration to a unique style which critics rant as being: Songs with \"a richly textured character –softly softly blending a hazy arrangement of static with an engrossing nighttime beat. Scratches galore and moody electronic pulses… via some glorious Detroit Neon,\" Boomkat 2002.
Poster child of sound couture Jimmy Edgar, who dropped studies in fashion and design to concentrate on making music, has a background of art production and style which reads much like an urban landscape dissertation. Snatching all kinds of influences from his Detroit dwelling: the city\'s decay, urban fashion, and the city\'s eclectic music scene, Edgar manufactures unique and provocative ultra modern sound environments.
ABOUT RICHARD DEVINE
Richard Devine is one of the most talented (if not prolific) of the producers organized around the Miami neo-electro haven of Schematic Records. Based in Atlanta, Devine\'s productions have the rigid breakbeat swing of prime electro recordings, but also a high degree of DSP (digital signal processing) magic in keeping with Schematic\'s acknowledged heroes, Autechre. After EPs for a sublabel of Woody McBride\'s Drop Bass Network and the Devine EP on Schematic, the producer began getting a reputation in advanced electronics circles with remixes (of material by Aphex Twin, Chris Deluca, Slicker, and Schematic\'s own Phoenecia) as well as compilation appearances (Ischemic Folks and Lily of the Valley, both on Schematic). Turned on to Devine\'s work by praise from Autechre and his remix of Aphex Twin\'s \"Come to Daddy,\" Britain\'s Warp Records hired him in 2000 to record a full-length. The results, Lipswitch, were jointly released one year later by Schematic and Warp.
ABOUT MIKE GERVAIS
For over twelve years DJ/producer/designer Mike Gervais has blazed an artistic trail ahead of his peers. Through the avid exploration of modern music technologies, his technique is constantly evolving. His performances deliver an extraordinary range of superlative sounds, swarming with bursts of real-time composition, looping, sampling, and effects. His DJ sets and original compositions have earned him critical acclaim from international producers and performers, earning him gigs across the United States and Canada. Mike serves as creative director for Timefog and has releases on Solar Cathedral Recordings and Timefog. As a promoter, producer, performer, programmer, and designer he has been a driving force behind legendary Minneapolis events put on by Intellephunk, Klik Musik, SecretTechno, and Convergence. From 1999-2003 he also contributed to Drop Bass events in Wisconsin and Richie Hawtin?s events in Detroit. Now Mike stands, armed with his own creative ferfor and clairvoyance, at the edge. Timefog, his visionary archetype, unfolding and expanding unto infinity.
