"people like us is the work of vicki bennett, whose cd's and lps on Soleilmoon Recordings, Staalplaat and Audioview labels feature her unique plunderphonic styling. Dadaist samplings and reshuffling of cultural oddities from discarded LPs is a recurrent theme, as is the use of intercepted radio broadcasts gutted and completely recontextualised, There is an air of both humour and impending doom within the work of PLU. From her first release in 1991, to her latest project, the forthcoming "The THermos Explorer" on Hot Air label, people like us has created or contributed to more than 25 cds and records as well as several collaborative releases and numerous compliation tracks."

Andrea Parker

"Parker's predilection for the dark and brooding has garnered her a curious following amongst the electronic underground"

"Andrea parkers "Kiss My Arp" album (Mo Wax,1999) was a stellar marriage of orchestral, electro gurgling and cerebral minimalism. She took a few piano and cello lessons in school and a Cubase course in college, but studying music in a formal setting has not been her preferred approach. "Primarily," she admits, "it's about my ears." Having an army of classic analog synths and a self-curated library of sound effects at her command can only help. She performed recently at the Women Take Centre Stage Festival in London in early March, and is currently at work on the first release for her new label, Touchin' Bass."

Tokyo lucky hole's penny treats us to some musical delights featuring awkward indie and japanese pop, accompanied by an eccletic collection of found visuals.
