ASTEROIDS ( http://soundcloud.com/asteroids-1 )

Asteroids began in summer 2009 when a late night discussion between friends, Jonathan Nowell and Simon Duffy, about their adolescence, and the music that first shaped them, got out of hand.

Meanwhile, in 1995, Jon and his best mate Dan opened the doors to 'The Big Kahuna Burger', their genre-defying nights of infamy which launched the duo headlong into the club and music scenes. As one half of FC Kahuna, Jon has been one of the true pioneers of electronic dance music in the UK and has no less an impressive body of work behind him. The critically acclaimed hit LP, 'Machine Says Yes' includes such landmark tracks as 'Hayling', 'Glitterball' and the title track itself. Remixes for, among others, New Order, Armand Van Helden, Mika, Ali Love, French indie rockers Fortune and Felix Da Housecat helped cement their dancefloor reputation.

Both of these guys have already left a mark on British music. Duffy's production and remixing credits are never ending, as well as his work for Souled Out in Italy and his many writing credits with Planet Funk and Dino Lenny include stints working with luminaries such as Soul To Soul, Joey Negro, Soloman Burke, Massive Attack, Leftfield, New Order and Missy Elliot.

'This Distance', the first proper release from Asteroids is an electronic love letter to the ghosts of Ian Curtis and Martin Hannet, written in the basement of an all night Berlin techno dive.

DISKJOKKE ( http://www.diskjokke.com )

Following the success of Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas comes diskJokke, a.k.a. Joachim Dyrdahl the latest in a string of exciting and innovative artists hailing from the respected Oslo electronica scene.

diskJokke was discovered by Oslo-Disco luminary Prins Thomas, who immediately signed three tunes to his Full Pupp label (released on two 12" singles). Almost simultaneously in Germany, M.A.N.D.Y and the Get Physical gang signed diskJokke for five other tunes (spread on two 12" singles) to their new Get Physical sub label, Kindisch. Following these releases, word quickly spread about diskJokke's quirky, spaced-out and dubby mixture of house, Italo and disco, and he was soon asked to remix tunes for a number of artists, including Lindstrøm, Foals, Lykke Li and Bloc Party.
