bruno real

''bruno real'' (a.k.a. ''nu4ms'') from ''curitiba'', brasil, is a man involved in web design, digital marketing & some interesting music-making. so far (as far as we know...) he has released 8 official e.p.'s with couple of appearances on various compilations. what caught our eye (read: ears) is his brand new ''electronic / i.d.m. / advanced techno'' e.p. called ''aqamental apresenta aleatorio 1'', by our opinion, his foremost release by now:

01. ''aqamental apresenta aleatorio 1'' (e.p., 2014)

medical meccanica

ever tried ''acid''...? well, if you ever decide to this would be the perfect soundtrack to it...
anyway, cruising round the internet ''roots.stop'' came up to this most interesting, what we like to call, a ''freestyle fusions'' band virtually based in ''london'', u.k. to be precise, a ''experimental / electronic / funk / rock / industrial / lo-fi'' band consisted of them four: ''daddy'', ''d/s/l-iot'', ''mommy'', & ''object a'' (all real names are unknown but who cares). they started with music-making in 2013 inspired by ''deleuze & guattari'' & ''nick land'', & their application in a post-internet setting. their aim is to capture the ontic experience of the digital into a musical form expressed via an assemblage of content. it's an effort they hope to explore more in the upcoming near future.
so far they've made only one official release which will make ''roots.stop'' absolutely proud to deliver:

01. ''dsl-iot's 'the vv@$+e|@|\|d''' (e.p., 2014)

stahlfabrik

''josep maria soler'' (a.k.a. ''stahlfabrik'') is an ''electronic / experimental / post-industrial / ambient / minimal / trance'' artist hailing from ''barcelona'', spain. ''electronic'' music first came to him at the age of 12 when he made his first contact with that synthetic sound later known as ''techno pop''. hand in hand with projects like ''human league'', ''rheingold'', ''ultravox'' & ''cabaret voltaire'', he began to create his interest in synthesizers & the ''electronic'' music surroundings. over the years he has managed to cultivate a grand collection of record material which made him one of the most prominent collectors of ''electronic'' music in whole spain.
at the age of 20, he met another ''electronic'' music collector called ''jose manuel gonzalez'' & the meeting ended as collaboration on a project aimed at producing underground ''electronic'' music flavored with ''industrial'' sound of the 80's. nevertheless, strong in spirit but amateurs in using electronic equipment the duo didn't last too long. this led ''josep'' to devote himself to the study & exploration of all those sound kits & gadgets.
finally, in 2008, he began acquiring synthesizers & computers gradually, which ment the absolute availability of making those sounds which until then existed only in his mind or in some sketches created over the years. that's how ''stahlfabrik'' was born, first as a duo with his friend ''jesús díaz cordoba'', & later as a joseph's solo project.
the sound of ''stahlfabrik'' is now made mostly by analog synths & it's a virtualization of an apocalyptic world & its industrial environment but not as a struggle, but as the sound of the beholder.

l.h.b.

remember this name & remember it well - ''loïc botté'' (a.k.a. ''l.h.b.'') from ''rennes'', france.
he started his musical journey in the late 90's with some ''hip-hop'' turntablism influenced by labels such as ''warp'' & ''ninja tune''. by the beginning of 21st century he became more interested in ''electronic'' music & ''drum & bass'', generally. as the years went by ''loïc'' decided it was time for him to start creating something on his very own so in 2008 he began composing. however, due to not always carefree life, only in 2013 he has managed to devote himself to create something rather more seriously. that's how his brilliant ''late heavy bombardment'' album began to take shape.
it took him 3 months of commitment to finish it & finally on 3rd of july, 2014, it went out - beautifully crafted ''ambient'' driven ''i.d.m.'' with some ''post-industrial'' adulterant. surely, one of the best ''i.d.m.'' albums of the year...
(http://lhbsounds.bandcamp.com/album/late-heavy-bombardment)
impressed by what we heard we decided to contact mr. loïc & let him know how we felt about it. that's how our netlabel's second release began to breathe. mr. loïc's brand new 2-track ''i.d.m. / ambient / post-industrial'' e.p. called ''legend'' exclusively released here at ''roots.stop'' is now packed & ready to go up your stream:

fake plastic heads

''roots.stop'' is proud to present ''charles srđan kuzmanović'' (a.k.a. ''fake plastic heads'', ''11 ton butterfly'', ''host beg suffer'', ''radar.one'', ''sha_lee01'', ''the c'' / leader of ''radar five'' / founder of ''radar five media'' graphic & web design studio), a ''munich'', germany-based ''experimental / ambient / post-industrial / industrial / i.d.m. / noise'' music maker, web & graphic designer, a father, & one & only mastermind behind ''fake plastic heads'' project.
he started making beats way back in 1998 under the moniker of ''11 ton butterfly''. times were changing & ''c'' needed to fuel his emotions into something that would last, at least on his hard drive... he's been a lead singer in various bands from 1991 to 1998. after failing to keep up the work with others ''c'' decided he would be better off, on his own, so he started his ''electronica'' project called ''host beg suffer'', & in early 2005 his own band, ''radar five''. after graduating design school ''c'' started his own company, ''radar five media'', dealing mostly with film, graphic & web design.
than, it came 2014... mr. ''c'' & ''roots.stop'' met quite by suprise somewhere out there in the cyber world, & as a result of that it came this - new album by ''fake plastic heads'' called ''mask'' ready to be released here at ''roots.stop'', exclusively! mr. ''c'' has kindly provided the sounds, ''roots.stop'' came up with track order & .wav-to-.mp3-to-.flac encoding, so now this outstanding piece of ''i.d.m. / ambient / post-industrial'' is ready to go & it's up to you to experience this exquisite mind journey:

rebel b

nemanja jovanović (a.k.a. ''rebel b'', ''caspa'', ''the bug'', ''tes la rok'' / founder of ''balkan dubstep unit'' project) is a dubstep producer from belgrade, serbia.
everything began with hip-hop in the early 90's. later, in the late 90's, he started mixing drum & bass, breakbeat, glitch, reggae, dub, & even dancehall. at the beginning of 2000, finally, he began producing his own music, more & more influenced by dubstep. as a result of this, in 2006, he came up with his own style merging from deep dubstep to wobble horror. at the same time his ''balkan dubstep unit'' has been launched, a project aiming to unify dubstep artists from region & beyond, & to promote their work.
as my tribute to this artist & all he's trying to accomplish i'm bringing, by my opinion, his foremost release by now - an electronic / dubstep / dub techno masterpiece:

01. ''bad moon rising'' (e.p., 2013)

ohmniscience

beautiful lady involved in some high quality ''i.d.m. / ambient / glitch / post-industrial'' production, a circumstance not often seen in today's world of high-end ''electronic'' music...
''ashley lynn myers'' (a.k.a. ''ohmniscience''), a sound artist from british columbia, canada. growing up in the ''calgary'' rave scene, she moved to ''vancouver'' looking for more opportunity & inspiration for unique tunes. after graduating from studying sound at the age of 19, ''ashley'' specializes in combining complex glitch drum rhythms & ambient tones, with the concept of binaural beats.
she said: ''i hope to bring about listening experience with my music, as well a meditative one. throughout my journey i have high intentions to convey music as an art form, & for this art to bring about a community for likeminded artists. my first ''brainwaves e.p.'' was completed in 2013 & will take you through all the frequencies of the psyche, bringing people together through music, science, & spirituality.''

figurative theatre

ever heard for the city of ''ниш''? guess not... anyway, it's the serbian second largest city placed near the border of kosovo (ancient part of serbian territory taken away by abnormal natality of the ''шиптари'' [kosovo albanians] who from minority became the absolute majority & by the strategic interest of u.s. & european union governments). ''ниш'' population is around 260.000 people who probably have never ever heard for their fellow citizens, ''figurative theatre''. however, ''figurative theatre'' is one of the most important ''underground electronic'' bands coming out of the eastern european part of universe.
the band is consisted of: vladimir popović (a.k.a. ''pop'', ''crocodile tears'' / member of ''southentik krew'', ''styptic'' / founder of ''black planet records'' label), katarina živanović & predrag živanović (a.k.a. ''pedja''). their ''electronic / dada wave / post-industrial / industrial / trance / e.b.m.'' blend is a specific homage to a honest & uncorrupted period of ''electronic'' music - second half of the 80's-first half of the 90's.
in honor to that, i'm bringing:

01. ''svet će opet biti savršen part 2 (destination black planet)'' (e.p., enhanced, 2013)

quivion

''quivion'' (real name unknown), is a english man living in ''stockholm'', sweden. he started as a ''house'' d.j. in the 90's & came back to music a couple of years ago.
this is what he said to me:
''i make ambient music, music that tries to paint a picture. i am influenced by electronic music & classical music, so you might hear this in my music. the last couple of years i have released 2 e.p.'s & 1 album, i also put together a lot of themed mixes on mixcloud that mix electronic music, more experimental music & modern classical, to create soundtrack-like mixes. you can hear these at mixcloud.com/quivion. my last track (''18/04/2014john'') started off as a short story idea, but then after playing around with some musical themes, i blended the two together to create a fiction/story behind the music. i quite like the idea of this fusion of fiction & music (we have audio books, but i would like to create stories through music) & want to explore this further!''
that was what he said to me & this is what i'm telling to you - if you're into ''ambient / experimental / electronic'' you should definitely check out this one:

01. ''18/04/2014john'' (1-track release, 2014)

[internationally left blank]

the 4th in the role is someone coming out of u.s. & that's all i know... he started in 2011 as a classic ''freestyle electronic / i.d.m.'' artist, but till now his sound has overgrown into more ''electronic / ambient'' in one hand & ''post-industrial'' in the other. a truly interesting stuff & something you should definitely check out:

01. ''a single piece of nothing'' (e.p., 2014),
02. ''melting wax'' (1-track single, 2014),
03. ''smoldering wings'' (1-track single, 2014).

f.a.d.g.

this artist is a total mystery... all i know is that he (or she) might be from russia, & that he (or she) is responsible for creation of one of the best ''i.d.m. / ambient'' tracks in the history of this genre:

01. ''микроорганика'' (1-track single, 2014)

tmt

the 2nd one is someone hailing from ''tromsø'', norway. yet again i couldn't find any data about this artist, but one thing is for sure - so far he has made the best ''i.d.m.'' album of the year:

01. ''regress'' (2014)

just gauche

today we are dealing with 4 artists from that ''why the hell can't i find any data about this artists?'' category. the first one to start with are ''c.c.s. & endquote'', a duo from ''cambridge'', u.k., who goes by the name of ''just gauche''. this exquisite track that i'm presenting here is an ''electronic'' mash up between ''squarepusher'' & ''erykah badu'', remashed by ''just gauche''. check it:

smokeriser

this is about someone i met at ''reverb nation'' a long time ago but, unfortunately, only just now i've decided to give it some more attention...
''sid gilbert'', a founder & a leader of new york-based act called ''smokeriser'' is the very person responsible for some of the most interesting ''electronic / industrial / rhythmic noise / e.b.m.'' beats i've heard in a very long time. you can say it's similar to ''nin kuji'', you can say it's similar to ''skinny puppy'', but who cares... it's awesome & it's outstanding!

01. ''obedience orientation'' (enhanced, 2009),
02. ''a view to smokeriser'' (e.p., demo collection, unofficial release, 2013)

apparent symmetry

the new year has crossed over our doorsteps again. i'm not sure if it's going to be any better than 2013, but the hope, kind of, still lives, as always...
i'm about to start from where i left off last year - ''post-industrial'', the most interesting genre i've stumbled on in last couple of years. to be precise, we're talking about ''electronic / ambient / post-industrial / i.d.m.'' crossover... an ''ambient electronic'' sound driven by ''industrial'' structure, packed with glitchy high-end ''i.d.m.'' production.
by now, i gave you ''(project) ritual noise'', ''synthetic violence'', ''stendeck'', ''mc1r'', & ''lucidstatic'', but now we're going a bit further: ''zach h.'' [a.k.a. ''apparent symmetry'', ''created insight'', ''synthetic void'', ''v.s.a.i.'', ''vs. artificial intelligence'' / member of ''sec 1nine13'' along with ''mihalis aikaterinis'' (a.k.a. ''mik tek'') & ''steven s.'' (a.k.a. ''in a mindset'' / member of ''a thrill of light'', ''serapeum'' / ex-member of ''f.t.e.'', ''mortheim'')] is an american producer & one of those most interesting outgrowths of the ''post-industrial'' scene. browsing throughout his entire discography i've decided to bring you this, an adequate sountrack for the cold winter days:

01. ''void'' (e.p., 2010)
