Suicide Commando
The fascination of evil. There are few bands that manage to adapt the most extreme sides of human behaviour to club-compatible electronic sounds as effectively as Suicide Commando, the evil musical brainchild of Belgian Hard-Electro-legend Johan van Roy. On his newest long player “Implements Of Hell”, he effectively pulls out all the stops of a career spanning more than two decades to send the listener on a rollercoaster ride through all the hellish ingredients that make for the sonic phenomenon known as Suicide Commando.

Iris
Taking elements of rock, glitch, retro-flavored-synth music, and colouring it with a decidedly melodic worldview, Iris is a band that's hard to classify. Influenced by 1980s artists such as Erasure and Depeche Mode, Reagan Jones und Matt Morris began playing covers in 1993. But soon they concentrated on their own material, changed their name to Iris and became a cult favourite in dance clubs with the song „Annie, Would I Lie To You“. Later Matthew Morris was replaced with Andrew Sega who pushed the band's sound into a more experimental electronic direction. Currently, they are working on a new album, which is to be released in 2010.
