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.
