Information for the unititated:
SEVERED HEADS
Formed 1979 Sydney
Severed Heads have made numerous incredible records that have been a huge inspiration in electronic dance music from EBM to Chicago House and Detroit Techno.
Back in '79 there were no samplers, no computers, and the Severed Heads style grew around the same tape recorders and oscillators that fueled the avant-garde music of the 20th century. Their exact genre is impossible to define - club singles like Dead Eyes Opened and Greater Reward jostle with aggressive noise-scopes and psychedelic virtual reality installations. A Severed Heads show is somewhere between an arcade game and a live gig. The big screen and the big sound combine the cinematic and the ecstatic.
CRASH COURSE IN SCIENCE
Formed 1979 Philadelphia
Having met at art school CCIS experimented to great affect with crude electronics, off-beat writing, electronics, distorted guitars, toy instruments and kitchen appliances to create wonderful, raw percussive records including seminal club tracks like: Flying Turns, Cardboard Lamb and Jump Over Barrels.

This year he released a series of 9 weekly vinyl EP’s of previously unreleased material from his much loved Playgroup project originally released on virgin records in 2001.
His METAL DANCE compilations (Strut 2012/13) showcasing industrial, new wave & post punk classic & rarities from the 70's & 80's have been embraced by all generations, winning Resident Advisors Compilation of 2012 as well as numerous other end of year polls. last year’s SCIENCE FICTION DANCEHALL CLASSICS compilation a retrospective of Adrian Sherwood’s seminal label On-U Sound (On U sound/Warp 2015) reinforced his reputation as a respected sound historian specialising in the foundations of experimental dance music.
