ABOUT JIMMY EDGAR

Street-smart and wise-beyond-his-years, Jimmy Edgar wanders the
desolated streets of junky occupied steaming sewers, an urban ghost
town under deconstruction. Reeling through a jungle of industrious
landscapes, abandoned buildings, isolated alley ways and homeless
people. In the midst of which lies intense feelings of jadedness and
despair that makes the city all the more musical in its thriving
evolving decay, and being the inspiration to a unique style which
critics rant as being: Songs with "a richly textured character –softly
softly blending a hazy arrangement of static with an engrossing
nighttime beat. Scratches galore and moody electronic pulses… via some
glorious Detroit Neon," Boomkat 2002.

Poster child of sound couture Jimmy Edgar, who dropped studies in
fashion and design to concentrate on making music, has a background of
art production and style which reads much like an urban landscape
dissertation. Snatching all kinds of influences from his Detroit
dwelling: the city's decay, urban fashion, and the city's eclectic
music scene, Edgar manufactures unique and provocative ultra modern
sound environments.

ABOUT RICHARD DEVINE

Richard Devine is one of the most talented (if not prolific) of the
producers organized around the Miami neo-electro haven of Schematic
Records. Based in Atlanta, Devine's productions have the rigid
breakbeat swing of prime electro recordings, but also a high degree of
DSP (digital signal processing) magic in keeping with Schematic's
acknowledged heroes, Autechre. After EPs for a sublabel of Woody
McBride's Drop Bass Network and the Devine EP on Schematic, the
producer began getting a reputation in advanced electronics circles
with remixes (of material by Aphex Twin, Chris Deluca, Slicker, and
Schematic's own Phoenecia) as well as compilation appearances
(Ischemic Folks and Lily of the Valley, both on Schematic). Turned on
to Devine's work by praise from Autechre and his remix of Aphex Twin's
"Come to Daddy," Britain's Warp Records hired him in 2000 to record a
full-length. The results, Lipswitch, were jointly released one year
later by Schematic and Warp.

ABOUT MIKE GERVAIS

For over twelve years DJ/producer/designer Mike Gervais has blazed an
artistic trail ahead of his peers. Through the avid exploration of
modern music technologies, his technique is constantly evolving.  His
performances deliver an extraordinary range of superlative sounds,
swarming with bursts of real-time composition, looping, sampling, and
effects. His DJ sets and original compositions have earned him
critical acclaim from international producers and performers, earning
him gigs across the United States and Canada. Mike serves as creative
director for Timefog and has releases on Solar Cathedral Recordings
and Timefog.  As a promoter, producer, performer, programmer, and
designer he has been a driving force behind legendary Minneapolis
events put on by Intellephunk, Klik Musik, SecretTechno, and
Convergence. From 1999-2003 he also contributed to Drop Bass events in
Wisconsin and Richie Hawtin?s events in Detroit.   Now Mike stands,
armed with his own creative ferfor and clairvoyance, at the edge.
Timefog, his visionary archetype, unfolding and expanding unto
infinity.
