LIEF RYAN
Is the dj/producer founder of Growth Recordings, an
independent techno label based in Wales. His live performances are
gaining him ever-increased recognition, storming Ugly Funk in London,
Bloc Weekend, Bashout in Bristol and numerous European gigs with a
twisted wonky techno/electro style…

"Regarded by many as one of the great new talents of UK techno, and
certainly demonstrating a healthy degree of originality.
Although he undoubtedly has one foot in the camp of wonk, there is
also a refreshing directness that makes his music a killer choice for
tougher clubs. Influences drawn from breaks and grime production give
the bottom end a satisfying weight and throb, while elements of the
programming certainly owe a debt to 'classic' techno and wonky
producers such as Neil Landstrumm. Maybe it is his location in
Manchester that gives his productions the edge that they have,
certainly they sound a lot more street-wise and less self-conscious
than many of his more Southern contemporaries. Whatever, this is a
strong four track EP that is sure to gain him more attention." (Review

MASSPLANCK
Hi I'm Steve Salmon and I used to bang it out around Dublin under the
pseudonym 'Massplanck'.
The name came from a friend who used it to describe "the split second
after the big bang when all matter in the universe was condensed into
the size of a pin-head".

I left the big smoke four years ago to go back to college and ended up
with a job designing Universes.
Fate or Chance? Only the mighty Jabalon can answer that one.
I could tell you that I have 1000 releases under my belt but what
would that really tell you about my music?
The only thing left to say is that I'm back and I think I have loads to say.

More homegrown support from,
