minusbaby
minusbaby, born Richard Alexander Caraballo in New York City, is a musician, designer, photographer, and wandering, beat-collecting international vagabond, whose finely-crafted blips and bleeps are as eclectic as the broad range of music and culture he draws inspiration from. Focusing primarily on software-based composition, minusbaby uses lo-fi electronic synthesis to create chip music that defies genre classification. One song could be a micromusic lullaby inspired by 17th Century Spanish architecture, while the next may be reggaeton for a cymbal-clapping robotic monkey, composed with an ear for fine hip-hop beats and debuted for an Australian Cattle Dog in São Paulo, Brazil. With minusbaby, '60s—'70s Brazilian pop can meet mid-'80s New York b-boy jams cut with Santería percussive patterns, everything filtered through the ears and fingers of a musician looking to push what chip music can display stylistically, and what people will experience when they hear it themselves.

Balún
Hola a todos. At first, we were an electronic duo in 2002 and the name was Balloon, and we all lived in Puerto Rico. Then we became an electro-acoustic trio in 2004 and we became Balún. By 2007 we became officially a quartet and lived in other countries. We like dreamy music that's why most of the time we would like to be sleeping. We recorded and self-released some songs for everybody in 2003 and 2004, and that was good. Some people, well specifically Robert Balun, have told us that our songs made them sleepy. Success! We would like to play in other countries and that's why we want to buy a plane. We also play in other different bands. Two of them are called Arturo en el Barco and Los Nervios. They are really nice too. If you would like to download our music you can visit the netlabel Observatory, there's a free EP called "While Sleeping" we made for you during our sleep in summer of 2004, and with love! Our first album, titled "Something Comes Our Way" was released on 2006 by the Chicago-based label Brilliante Records! Our EP Collection was re-released last year by the NYC label Expansion Team. In 2007 we also released new songs on compilations by netlabels Petite & Jolie (France) and Aerotone (Germany). Check them out!

Blue Screen Love Scene
Long-term friends, Richy Ferrell and Matt Sapp, decided one day that they wanted to form an electronic band as a fun side project. Richy, (having previous experience as a guitarist), and Matt, (known around Athens, GA as a bass player) just needed one final thing: a singer. Lauren, a friend of Richy's, (and co-member of Teenwich), was introduced as a vocalist and soon after, the three quickly became an Electro-pop trio with one goal in sight: to make music that the kids would want to dance to.
