Here`s a short Biog of Crystal Distortion --> --> About CRYSTAL DISTORTION http://www.myspace.com/58287980 Chrystal Distortion Mp3 http://www.labrataudio.com/davincicodemaster.mp3 Crystal Distortion is about change: A human 'by product' of electronic culture - born in London - he saw fit to re-align virtuous components of modern dance e.g. the rhythms of hip hop, breaks, techno etc, with neo- apocalyptic visions as portrayed in such cult milestones as 'Akira', 2000 AD', Tetsuo', and more recently, the story of the 'Matrix'. The result is a form of musical expression treading on the tightrope between sonic excess and universal love. The next years were spent sowing the seeds for a better musical future for all our children. The year 2000 saw a debut appearance at Frances largest electronic music events and a first step into chain store distribution with new partner Expressillon. Hes now delivering his kick-ass, genre busting and jaw - dropping unique brand of techno and break beat to audiences across Europe, both at free events and major festivals or techno clubs, like Nuits Sonores,Astropolis,Electromind(france),Dour(belgium). Klub4(slovenia), The Livello57, Sunexplosion festival(italy), The Electrowerkz( u.k), The Love Parade and more than 15 countries visited. Non stop music All aboard! About Labrataudio http://www.labrataudio.com/ http://www.myspace.com/labrataudio Its primary perpetrator, CRYSTAL DISTORTION / GEARSHIFTER, whilst also responsible for improvised live electronic performances, uses the LaBrat concept as a place to explore the composition and arrangement side of dance productions: a touch of the familiar to drive us all towards the unknown. 2005 and LaBrat Audiochemicals have taken on board some extra crew members after scouring the digital landscape to find them. After a series of sporadic releases from year to year, the test vessel LaBrat is now fully operational, and ready to take you further than ever before...... to be continued, on vinyl, cd, mp3..................... RATTABLE SELECTAS is a collection of tracks judiciously selected and arranged , which puts forward new talents from the British and French scene each one them having different backgrounds, but all led by the same frenzy of rhythm and sonic mayhem. The productions oscillate between breakbeat, electro and wonky tekno to reveal a dynamic sound coexisting in perfect harmony with grime and big beat . Indeed, the protagonists are as varied in their origins as in their composition; starting with SKEW (us) 3D graphic designer who worked on projects such as Star Wars, Sleepy Hollow, Harry Potter, proposing here a cartoon like break beat style, then MIDILINK (Fr) and his elektrik' bass already noticed on World Traveler Adventurer (UWE) who collaborates with PROBE1 co founder of Marseille based breakbeat label TORSION records, this title is a result of smashing basslines and high-tech rhythm edits. Followed by SUNKA(Fr), Arts graduate who uses the sum total of the influences of his musical development to provide an organic breakbeat resolutely dancefloor. On the other side, WIREBUG aka DAN HEKATE(uk) tackles the temporal rhythm structuration, involving discontinuity and sequences variation, creating a jagged break with piercing tones. Like LUKES ANGER where 4x4 beats and deep bass weave into accelerating alternate sequences composing a wonky tekno leading astray. And to conclude one of our oldest experiment..nTHE GEARSHIFTER better known as CRYSTAL DISTORTION . This sound has brought thousands of ravers together around the world ever since the scene began, giving each and every one of them the opportunity to be in direct contact with the ticking of the universal clock. Not being attached to any particular style, his control of the sound will lift anyone subjected to it into an ecstatic state propelled forever forwards by a heavy duty break machine. After a series of sporadic releases from year to year, the test vessel ..nLABoratory is now fully operational, and ready to take you further than ever before....
