Shelby Cinca's 8-Bit electronica materialized in 2004 from musical sketches while touring with his futurist post-punk band Decahedron. Making electronic music out of an affinity with such musics as well as out of necessity for an outlet to create sounds while traveling in a moving vehicle. Drawing inspiration from daydreaming science fiction imagery under the passing ambience of city lights.
Sonically the source sound material stems from a childhood fascination with the Commodore 64 and the original Nintendo Gameboy yet compositionally abhoring the concept of "twee 8-bit electronica" and approaching works rather in a forward thinking futurist manner. Bringing to mind such artists as: Mr. Oizo, Squarepusher, and Klause Schulze in 8-bit sonic contexts that create a soundtrack to living in our tech aggressive post-urban Gibsonian present.

Scoring 11/11 in Vice Magazine, this is Instrumental and daft in it's execution. Alarma Man can excite, sooth, and equally throw an unprepared listener into a state of confusion. Mind-numbing drum beats, steady bass lines, and odd guitar rhythms accenting with tapping that defies the nature of the sonic guitar itself. A mad mixture of dark intentions and old roving spirits that brings to mind Don Cabellero, Man Or Astroman, and Fugazi, yet with something all the more sinister and forward looking. Instrumental sonic labyrinths to inspire and demolish. Explore... now!

It is historically proven that a good band rarely stands still. This hypothesis is made into scientific fact when analyzing the elements. The key element in question is Dialog Cet. A band with humble beginnings in Jönköping, Sweden, in the year of 1998. A band that has been receiving praise for their ingenuity, playfulness, and forward thinking from their very onset. Playing a brand of music self-dubbed as "Labyrinth Punk", which lies somewhere between Sonic Youth, Unwound, and Scandinavian abstract reasoning. Receiving praises even from the post-punk luminary Ian Mackaye (of Fugazi fame) as "brilliant, fucking brilliant." As the night and day goes through it's cycles, Dialog Cet shows every sign that they follow the call of the wild that moves an animal to howl at the moon one moment and at the other to find a secluded hole to hide itself in. Humans or animals? You decide the true origins but be aware that this is a curious, unpredictable, unknown, and instinctive creature that stands at the edge of the world searching for new prey...

Travelling into the nether regions of music Dialog Cet from Jönköping, Sweden, are back from their exploration with their third album "Konsumera Era". The tale of this band is one of musical and musician mathematics. Initially a two piece instrumental group on their debut "Crocodile Hunt" (Tripoli Records / 1999), then to a three piece on the critically acclaimed "Ny Metall" album (Carcrash Records 2001). In 2002, they went back to be a two piece, using additional musicians bass/guitars/drums/vocals to record "Konsumera Era". "Konsumera Era" is a sonic attack that combines early 90s Chicago post-punk dissonance to the weird rock/labyrinth-punk that Dialog Cet are known for! Music not afraid to move or perplex you... open your ears and sound the alarm.

"A Mutation of Rock, Electronica and Punk"
Innovative, original Gothenburgbased quartet formed in 1999. The way they mix electronics, avantgarde and punk ideas in a decidedly rock-orientated format is unlike most contemporary music produced in Sweden today.
