Mark Archer started his Production career in 1988 when along with Dean Meredith, he ventured up to the newly opened Blue Chip Studios in his hometown of Stafford. Starting off as a hip hop/sample house group called Rhythm Mode D, they recorded a few tracks for the studio’s own label before branching out with different styles including acid house and techno amongst others. Archer was a founder member of Bizarre Inc., before starting up a new project under the name Nexus 21 who had a string of releases on renowned labels such as Network and R&S Records – and were famously the first artists to receive a remix by the legendary Carl Craig on their ‘Still (Life Keeps Moving)’ single.
At the same time, Mark began a side project, which was to become one of the biggest names in rave history, Altern 8…
Now DJing under his own name, keeping the sounds of old skool, acid, breakbeat, house and techno pumping around the world.

Raoul Sinier - New Album on Ad Noiseam Announced
Enquiries to agency@thecentrifuge.co.uk.
Raoul Sinier is without doubt a unique artist. He juggles music, illustration and animation with a freewheeling talent. The race of fantastic creatures that escape from Raoul Sinier’s imagination seem to be characterised by the same wavering reason found in human beings. The artist breathes absurd and derisory life into whale-men, animals, robots and other creatures in a dark and twisted world.
His music captures emotions and nails then down somewhere, on a familiar door. This kidnapping curiously liberates the listener and enables their penetration into the very sophisticated musical universe of the musician.
The power of the inspiring alchemy is ever increasing with its captivating melodies and ultraviolent rhythms. Films, animation… the videos he conceives and directs invent a wild form of multiplexing into which are plunged atypical images and music which follow an improbable script.
But beyond the fury of monsters and the screaming music is the exacerbated sensitivity of a demanding individual, totally refractory to the intellectual arts world. For several years now the artistic activity of Raoul Sinier has been gently spreading its way across the borders of Europe…

Vaetxh - Rising Star of Glitch, Bass & Step
Enquiries to agency@thecentrifuge.co.uk
Vaetxh is youthful Bristol native Rob Clouth, raised on a steady diet of mathrock until a chance exposure with high intensity electronic music led him down the digital production alley. Initial forays into IDM territory were superseded with the acquisition of a sub-woofer and his realisation of the sensory affects of bass on the body and brain. The end result is something refreshingly unique in today’s hyper-saturated sonic landscape – intricate, engaging and emotive scapes incorporating the aesthetics of dubstep, glitch, IDM, ambience and field recordings.
It’s in the interplay of natural and unnatural, of the real and the synthetic, the planned and the unexpected, the mechanical and the organic, that Vaetxh finds his inspiration. With releases & remixes forthcoming on Tigerbeat6, Schematic, King Deluxe, Traum and Detroit Underground, this is you chance to catch a rising star before he goes interplanetary!

Icarus EU Tour - January 2012
Enquiries to agency@thecentrifuge.co.uk
Icarus is the innovative electronic music duo of Ollie Bown and Sam Britton. Beating to a decidedly experimental electronic tempo, from their sampler based deconstructions of drum and bass in the 90s to the continuing generative and improvised software based genre smashing that has characterised their more recent releases, Icarus have always carved their own distinctive, eclectic path through the world of electronic music, an approach that has seen them release a plethora of records on labels as diverse as The Leaf Label, Output Recordings, Temporary Residence and Domino.
