Kid Atom


Fun j-pop influenced electronica sometimes featuring circuit bent sounds.















Acetone


Acetone, born in Norwich and with a musical background as diverse as the country and western sounds of Johnny Cash, to the random heavy noise cone sounds of Merzbow. He has produced for the last four years and indulged with lots of different genres from ambient hip hop to perfectly formulated dance floor mash ups. Charlie Flack AKA Acetone has settled into his own very unique style of ambient filtered pads with intelligently sequenced samples and glitches over whatever groove takes his interest.
