NO FARSCAPE Z - (ALPHA & ANTAGON) -Z- (ALPHA & ANTAGON) - SIGNED SHIVLINK RECORDS/INDIA : SINCE THE FIRST SESSION OF ALPHA AND ANTAGON TO THE FIRST PRODUCTS NOW IN SPRING 2009 ONLY 13 MONTHS HAVE PASSED BY TO CREATE THIS INTERESTING LIVE-PROJECT . STYLE: AS DJS ALPHA IS PLAYING NOWADAYS A KIND OF MEDIUM DARK PSY TRANCE AND ANTAGON MORE STRAIGHT DARK PSY . BUT THE ARTISTS´ BACKGROUND MUSICALLY IS VERY DIFFERENT, SO THEY DECIDED TO USE -Z- AS A PLATFORM WITHOUT THE USUAL BORDERLINES OF (EVEN) THE DARK SCENE CONSUMERS/PRODUCERS. A MIX OF 3 STYLES HAS DEVELOPED TO AN UNIQUE -Z-STYLE : DARK PSY TRANCE/A BIT DARK FULL ON AND EBM/INDUSTRIAL. HISTORY: THE FIRST GIGS IN 2008 WERE ASTONISHING FOR THE ARTISTS, ´CAUSE THEY STARTED GIGGING WITHOUT ANY PROMOTION OR PRODUCTS. AND ALPHA IS PLAYING SINCE THAT TIME ALL NEW TRAX OF -Z- IN HIS DJ-SETS, WHAT HE IS STILL DOING A LOT. SURPRISINGLY THE RESPONSE BY THE AUDIENCE WAS MASSIVE AND MORE AND MORE HE FOUND OUT, THAT THE -Z- SOUND IS FILLING A HOLE BETWEEN THE MODERN TRANCE-STYLES LIKE FULL ON/DARK PSY/TWILIGHT. NOT IN A KIND OF EVERYBODY´S DARLING, NO NO, MORE IN A INNOVATIVE DIRECTION, MELTING THESE INFLUENCES TOGETHER . LIVE: THE LIVE PERFORMANCES STARTED IN 2008 WITH ALPHA ( KEYBOARDS/BASS ), ANTAGON ( MIXING, SYNTHS-PROGRAMMING ) AND EQUINOX (E-DRUMS). AFTER A WHILE, -Z- DECIDED TO CONTINUE WITHOUT THE LIVE-DRUMS FOR DIFFERENT REASONS LIKE TOO BAD FEES BEFORE RELEASING THEIR FIRST PRODUCT(S). ON THE OTHER HAND IT OPENED A FLEXIBILITY TO PRESENT THE LIVE PERFOMANCE. FOR EXAMPLE ALPHA PLAYED A SOLO VERSION IN BRAZIL (UNIVERSO PARALLELO). BUT IN THE FUTURE -Z- WILL PERFORM AS THE-FUNNY-DARK-TWINS AND WILL STAY OPEN FOR LOCAL DRUMMERS OR PERCUSSIONISTS. EVEN A COLLABORATION WITH DIFFERENT REAL INSTRUMENTS ARE POSSIBLE ON THE PRODUCTION-SIDE. IN SOME OF THE TRAX YOU CAN LISTEN TO THESE NOT COMMON INFLUENCES. RELEASE INFO: REVO IS THE FIRST ALBUM TO BE RELEASED BY Z – THE TALENTED GERMAN DUO WHO WAKE YOUR BURNING DESIRE TO DANCE EVERY TIME YOU HEAR THEM. THEIR VERY ESSENCE LIES IN THIS TWILIGHT/DARK STYLED COMPOSITION THAT PROMISES A JOURNEY YOU’VE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE. Z IS KNOWN FOR THEIR REVOLUTIONARY HARMONIES WHICH STRETCH THE COMMON FORMULA MOST OF TODAY’S ELECTRONIC MUSIC IS BASED ON.
