Music made with electronics is what we're about. Techno, Electro, House, Tech-House, Dubstep, IDM, Minimal Techno, Glitch-Hop, Chiptune / 8-Bit, Ambient, Indie-Tronica, Future Disco, and the like... We love music that doesn't rely on traditional musical instruments like Guitars, Drum Kits, Charismatic Vocalists to be relevant.
