SHARPS INJURY - BACK FROM THE DEAD EP
(OCT17)
Sharps Injury is a side project of Keef Baker the IDM, post-rock and electronica veteran with releases on such stables as Hymen, Ad Noiseam and n5MD and a stream of gigs ranging from Greece to California. He has appeared beside countless other artists like Bitcrush, Funckarma, Proem, Snog, Architect and Dalek just to name a few and remixed numerous artists like Klangstabil, Displacer and Diskonekted, again, just to name some.
However, Sharps Injury shows a different side of Keef Baker. Where Keef Baker is about intricacy, change and melodic complexity, Sharps Injury is much more base. Sharps Injury mixes calculated rhythmic powernoise with dark sonic ambient architecture. After a long break following the 2004 EP (I Told my Girlfriend this was a 12") Keef Baker as Sharps Injury returns with another sonic assault with his latest endeavor (Back From the Dead EP) a release full of rage and rhythm (on Dancefloor tracks like Chopsmacker and Medibot) and seething contempt (on the nearly impossible to follow "falling down stairs" tempo of The Krotons and the distaste for structure shown on The Dominators)

DARKENED - FLIPSIDE
(OCT09)
DARKENED's full-length debut album Flipside is now available on CD, iTunes, Amazon MP3, eMusic, and other major digital download sites.
The full length Maduro album of 2009 was not a Maduro album, instead he released a creepy 13-track dubstep album as "Darkened." Darkened's debut release, Flipside (OCT09), is an excursion into the dark realm of dubstep, tribal beats, and 1920s Berlin. It blends glitchy junkyard, african/voodoo, german brass cabaret, and found sounds. Flipside was nominated as one of the Top 2009 Releases by Igloo magazine.com and Digital Nimbus Radio WKUCI FM Irvine California. Look for Darkened tracks on upcoming bellydance DVD productions.
