NO FARSCAPE Z - (ALPHA & ANTAGON)-Z- (ALPHA & ANTAGON) - SIGNED SHIVLINK RECORDS/INDIA : SINCE THE FIRST SESSION OF ALPHA AND ANTAGON TO THE FIRST PRODUCTS NOW IN SPRING 2009 ONLY 13 MONTHS HAVE PASSED BY TO CREATE THIS INTERESTING LIVE-PROJECT.STYLE: AS DJS ALPHA IS PLAYING NOWADAYS A KIND OF MEDIUM DARK PSY TRANCE AND ANTAGON MORE STRAIGHT DARK PSY. BUT THE ARTISTS´ BACKGROUND MUSICALLY IS VERY DIFFERENT, SO THEY DECIDED TO USE -Z- AS A PLATFORM WITHOUT THE USUAL BORDERLINES OF (EVEN) THE DARK SCENE CONSUMERS/PRODUCERS. A MIX OF 3 STYLES HAS DEVELOPED TO AN UNIQUE -Z-STYLE: DARK PSY TRANCE/A BIT DARK FULL ON AND EBM/INDUSTRIAL.HISTORY: THE FIRST GIGS IN 2008 WERE ASTONISHING FOR THE ARTISTS, ´CAUSE THEY STARTED GIGGING WITHOUT ANY PROMOTION OR PRODUCTS. AND ALPHA IS PLAYING SINCE THAT TIME ALL NEW TRAX OF -Z- IN HIS DJ-SETS, WHAT HE IS STILL DOING A LOT. SURPRISINGLY THE RESPONSE BY THE AUDIENCE WAS MASSIVE AND MORE AND MORE HE FOUND OUT, THAT THE -Z-SOUND IS FILLING A HOLE BETWEEN THE MODERN TRANCE-STYLES LIKE FULL ON/DARK PSY/TWILIGHT. NOT IN A KIND OF EVERYBODY´S DARLING, NO NO, MORE IN A INNOVATIVE DIRECTION, MELTING THESE INFLUENCES TOGETHER.LIVE: THE LIVE PERFORMANCES STARTED IN 2008 WITH ALPHA (KEYBOARDS/BASS), ANTAGON (MIXING, SYNTHS-PROGRAMMING) AND EQUINOX (E-DRUMS). AFTER A WHILE, -Z- DECIDED TO CONTINUE WITHOUT THE LIVE-DRUMS FOR DIFFERENT REASONS LIKE TOO BAD FEES BEFORE RELEASING THEIR FIRST PRODUCT(S). ON THE OTHER HAND IT OPENED A FLEXIBILITY TO PRESENT THE LIVE PERFOMANCE. FOR EXAMPLE ALPHA PLAYED A SOLO VERSION IN BRAZIL (UNIVERSO PARALLELO). BUT IN THE FUTURE -Z- WILL PERFORM AS THE-FUNNY-DARK-TWINS AND WILL STAY OPEN FOR LOCAL DRUMMERS OR PERCUSSIONISTS. EVEN A COLLABORATION WITH DIFFERENT REAL INSTRUMENTS ARE POSSIBLE ON THE PRODUCTION-SIDE. IN SOME OF THE TRAX YOU CAN LISTEN TO THESE NOT COMMON INFLUENCES.RELEASE INFO: REVO IS THE FIRST ALBUM TO BE RELEASED BY Z – THE TALENTED GERMAN DUO WHO WAKE YOUR BURNING DESIRE TO DANCE EVERY TIME YOU HEAR THEM. THEIR VERY ESSENCE LIES IN THIS TWILIGHT/DARK STYLED COMPOSITION THAT PROMISES A JOURNEY YOU’VE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE. Z IS KNOWN FOR THEIR REVOLUTIONARY HARMONIES WHICH STRETCH THE COMMON FORMULA MOST OF TODAY’S ELECTRONIC MUSIC IS BASED ON. THE ALBUM FEATURES 8 EXTRAORDINARY MIND BENDING TRACKS WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY ALPHA AND ANTAGON (WHO COMBINE THEIR TALENT TO FORM Z) AND ONE WHICH IS IN COLLABORATION WITH PENTA. THE FAMOUS INDIVIDUALS HAIL FROM THE RENOWNED VOOV FAMILY AND HAVE SHOWCASED THEIR VIRTUOSO LIVE PERFORMANCE AT LITERALLY EVERY TRANCE FESTIVAL ACROSS EUROPE. THEY ARE NOW SET FOR THEIR WORLD TOUR SUBSEQUENT TO THE RELEASE OF ‘REVO’. ARTIST INFO..S:ALPHA A.K.A.
