DEMAC, TOM / GLIMPSE - GUNS N ROSES / BEADIE EYE

After spending the last few years in Manchester and Barcelona, Tom Demac has returned to the picturesque setting of his native North Wales. Having developed a convincing alter ego, he manages a web development team most days and returns to a familiar guise in his spare time, creating a live collage of his thoughts. Gathering inspiration from the surrounding landscape, a big dose of Detroit Techno, as well as influxes of Electronica, Dub and Jazz, Tom Demac writes and records live electronic music from the soul. From early sessions in a friends garage (containing a few rusty boxes and a four-track), Tom went on to study music technology in Salford University. Since then he has developed his own characteristic sound based on a philosophy of creating music aimed at the dance-floor, but melodic enough to appreciate at home in the living room. After releasing records through Free Rotation collective imprints Mindyourhead records and Mindtours, Tom Demac formed the label' Electronique Audio. The first 3 records echoed his fresh and diverse take on electronic music (Decisions, New Beginnings and Liquid Staircase) and went on to gather international exposure and support. 2006 saw the collaboration with good friend and fellow resident of North Wales, Duckett, and together they recorded the 3 ep’s, Critical Distance (Electronique Audio), Unnecessary Cosmetics (STHLM Audio) and Climate Flu (Disappear Here).

Glimpse is Christopher Spero and was started in 2000. The concept behind Glimpse is to try to write music dictated by instinct rather than influence. ‘to just write down a feeling'. Hopefully being as honest as possible. I think people will always be attracted to honesty and will feel comfortable knowing that what they are listenting to is real and came from somewhere that was important to someone at some point. As an individual I am interested in so many different styles of music in and outside the electronic spectrum and I am keen that this is portrayed on the label. From an early age I had an interest in Jazz, Blues and Techno performing in bands and releasing electronic music on various u.k. based labels under different aliases (Attic, Olek, Spero). I then studied Sculpture at Central Saint Martin’s art school. Over the past year I have been performing live throughout Europe & Asia at clubs like Watergate (Berlin) Rex Club (Paris) The Edge (San Paulo) DV1 (Lyon) Harry Klein (Munich) Pipping (Geneva) Moog (Barcelona) Loft (Barcelona) Moona (Jena) Weekend (Berlin) Sonic Arts Festival (Blogna) Desi (Nuremburg) Supermarket (Zurich) Pipping (Geneva) Metro Dance Club (Alicante) Monsters Of House (Munich) Colours (Tokyo) Clapper (Osaka) Dimensions (Fukyoka) ect. ect. as well as gigging regularly in England. I now work with a regular visual artist and close friend rob farquhar who works under the name eyeswitch (www.eyeswitch.com). We make conceptual videos for the music and are branching more into a audio visual experience. Read more on Last.fm.
