   JAPANTHER (US)
   http://www.myspace.com/japanther

   When The Death Set meets The Ramones!
   Japanther is a punk rock band from New York City formed in 2001 by two students. The band, who met in Brooklyn consists of Ian Vanek — who plays drums, cassettes, and signs— and Matt Reilly — who plays bass, a Casio, and also sings. We Are Busy Bodies releases Japanther’s albums in Canada. They have been featured in Vice and The New York Times among others. In the first two years of the band, they toured nine times.

   ANDREW HUNG DJ SET (FUCK BUTTONS) (UK)
   http://www.myspace.com/fuckbuttons

   Andrew Hung is one half of Fuck Buttons, an electronic duo (or something like the sun rising over the ocean… then going supernova) formed in Bristol in 2004. The band are signed to ATP Recordings and have release two highly acclaimed albums; 2008’s Street Horrrsing (produced by John Cummings of Mogwai) and 2009’s Tarot Sport (produced by Andrew Weatherall). Over the last few years they have developed a reputation for their diverse and transcendent live shows touring with artists such as The Pixies, Caribou, Mogwai and Chris Cunningham. Andrew will be performing a special DJ set at Fuxx Fixxtion! Mixing the likes of Four Tet, PVT, The Bug, Factory Floor and more !

   zZz (NL)
   http://www.myspace.com/zzz

   Without being aware of it, these two sound wizards have incorporated elements from typical NYC bands such as Suicide and The Cramps. And the Joy Division connotations due to the Ian Curtis-y vocals were never intentional either. Add to that the biggest Doors-like organ this side of Ray Manzarek, and you got zZz. The mix of all these ingredients is ‘rock the girls can dance to. Yeah, the sound of zZz, who played at lot of times at SXSW, has both rock and electronic music appeal. The potential of zZz is enormous, grabbing lads and chicks.

   CARUSELLA (ISR)
   http://www.myspace.com/carusella

   Heavy indie noise-rock duo from Tel Aviv! They bridge the gap between garage-indie and noise rock, but bring something heavier that defies that troublesome “indie” tag. With an amazing live reputation Carusella is - without a doubt - another band you should keep an eye on in the next few upcoming years.

   MATER SUSPIRIA VISION (AF - KABUL)
   http://www.myspace.com/matersuspiriavision

   A floating point between glo-fi, goth, post-punk, library music hauntology, drone, doom ambient and a spooky pouch of other things, Mater Suspiria Vision (on Disaro label) is honestly one of the best new bands! MSV also makes the most fucked up, intense and emotionally paralyzing videos. It’s Witch House at its deepest and most raw, a real secret hell cult that feels truly dangerous more often than not.

   SHELLSHAG (US)
   http://myspace.com/shellshag

   Brooklyn-based musical duo Shellshag isn’t your typical girl/boy band. Jennifer Shagawat beats away on the drums, playing next to John Driver (Shell), who belts out the lyrics. Minimal rock. Indie punk. Warm and fuzzy, recorded. Loud and unpredictable, live. They played SXSW 2010!

   BECOMING REAL (UK)
   http://www.myspace.com/becomingrealmusic

   Rising electronic artist Becoming Real has been confirmed as the main support for the debut UK tour of Chicago’s SALEM, in what is one of the most anticipated tours of the winter. Becoming Real releases his ‘Spectre’ EP on 15th November on Moshi Moshi label!

   Becoming Real songs sound like they’re undergoing a miraculous metamorphosis, as though they’ve awoken from uneasy dreams to find themselves transformed into something monstrous and amazing. NME
   As his music progresses and he gets deeper into the zone of fragmented electronics, it becomes increasingly difficult to figure out exactly how Becoming Real is composing this music. How he’s layering and weaving everything into one incredibly complex whole is a total mystery, and we’d almost rather keep it that way. THE FADER
   I think the best way to describe it is a cross between Zomby / Mount Eerie / Mount Kimbie and Fugazi or something along those lines, it ain’t just me with laptop fam. BECOMING REAL

   UNISON (FR)
   http://www.myspace.com/unison777

   Revolving around an essentially american Witch House scene, the french duo Unison showed himself on blogs and online music magazines thanks to the almost concomitant releases of its first EP, Outside, on Matte Black Editions, and their Suffocation remix of the NY band White Ring. Disaro, the leading label of the movement (Salem, oOooOO, Mater Suspiria Vision, +‡+) will bring the next Unison album out in early 2011!

   THE GUILTY BROTHERS EXPERIENCE (BE)
   http://www.myspace.com/theguiltybrothers

   From the depth of an erupting volcano to the quiet cold of a lost galaxy…From a murmuring introspection to ecstatic trance…The journey to which The Guilty Brothers Experience conveys you is personal and universal…

   MONGOLITO (BE)
   http://www.myspace.com/mongolitobxlz

   Mongolito (Marc De Backer) is a terrific sound and visual experiment not to miss!
