Mysterymen.
Who are we?
The bastard love children of Gary Numan???
Mysterymen
were born in 2001 out of the industrial North East of England, and
set up their studio on the banks of the river Tyne. Amassing together
their analogue machines, they began creating a unique, diverse and
very individual sound. Being hailed as the new techno-opera-futurists,
they are well versed in producing accomplished and unusual electro.
Their
first single 'Wide Apart' on Disko B, found its way into many a
record bag. A dark synthy groove with bass sweeps to die for. 'Clapman'
sounds like Numan touched slo-mo techno, and 'Moving' has classic
Moroder styles with 80ies chic.
Their
follow up single 'Electromode' takes no prisoners - sounding like
Fisherspooners core gone critical, it created massive dancefloor
hysteria, finding its way into trendy London clubs, such as 'Nag
Nag Nag'. The flip, 'Your Best Friends', showing their lighter side,
is catchy synth pop.
'Alkali'
is the mysterymen's own label, and has seen success with the release
of its first 12", 'Monofunk'. Backed by primetime airplay on
BBC Radio 1 and high profile DJ Gigolos such as Hell and Herbert,
it is soulful stringed electronic euphoria like Detroit's finest,
a timeless understated masterpiece.
With
their live show they go old skool, using only analogue synthesisers
and machines, not a computer in sight. Accompanied by their own
self-generated images, they create an exciting and powerful experience.
Their
forthcoming album 'Everything but an Answer' on Disko B, features
a compact diversity of tracks such as 'Fast Bitches', with its trashy
noise beats and ominous Atari vocals, to the warm melodic beauty
of 'Sleepy Elvis'. This album is destined to be a classic.
