Harsh Symmetry is the synthesizer driven solo project of the California based musician Julian Sharwarko. Blending 1980s post-punk and new wave influences with more contemporary genres like dark wave and minimal wave, Harsh Symmetry paints a refreshing and danceable picture while maintaining a good sense of revivalism.

Cosmokramer is the new electronic pop music project of Yves Stephany and Olivier Treinen, both battle-scarred acolytes of Luxembourg’s alt-pop music scene. They claim balance to be a bitch as their tracks ponder the embrace of a defiantly bittersweet apocalypse. Treinen’s melodramatic voice and lyrics are upfront and confrontational. Stephany’s electronic musical backing pulses with layered irreverence. Theirs is a confused music for confused and confusing times. Wash the blood down the kitchen sink and get on with it. The dancefloor is open and so is the bar.
