Style of Eye - biography
Lock up your genres - Linus Eklow, aka Style Of Eye, is ripping up the
rule book with his debut artist album, difficult to describe as
anything other than the sort of music that makes you want to call your
boss and tell them you’re not coming back to work on Monday.

The Stockholm born and based DJ/producer is making a name for himself
in techno, but his productions are essentially a journey through
everything from techno to house via raw percussion and minimal, floaty
melodies and downright weird noises. Both intelligent but
jaw-wobblingly satisfying at the same time, Style Of Eye’s productions
are testament to the hotbed of talent springing forth from the
underground scene. After growing up in a jazz and soul oriented
family, graduating from banging pots and pans to a drumkit aged 10, he
realised electronic music was his calling after getting his first
computer aged 15 and making “weird downtempo dubbeat and trip hop.“
DJing upbeat drum and bass followed at 16, and Linus was a firm
fixture in the studio before long, developing his unique style of
music with releases and remixes on such labels as Classic Recordings,
Tiny Sticks and Rabid Records.

His most recent productions on Dirtybird and John Dahlbäck’s Pickadoll
label have been immense - “The Big Kazoo” E.P (Dirtybird) (#1 on the
Heavy Rotation in IDJ´s February Issue), was followed up by “The
Prophet” (Pickadoll), and the album, out in September 2008 on
Pickadoll, will be preceded by new single “Girls” in May.


As you’d expect from someone who cites influences as diverse as Stevie
Wonder, nineteenth century classical composer Edvard Grieg, and Yello,
Style of Eye isn’t keen to be pigeonholed. His moniker comes from a
desire to put everything out under one name, regardless of what it
sounds like... Says Linus: “Since I take in so much different music
and put it in a blender I wanted to be able to put everything I see
and that inspires me into one project. This album is a huge step from
my first release but you can still hear that it’s me.“

The album, which features vocals from the likes of Stephen Simmonds
and Emmma, comprises Style of Eye’s productions mixed together: “it
was a way to make stuff I could use in my sets, which I build around
my productions. I guess my gigs are a bit like artist sets in a way,
but it’s just me and my vinyl and CDs on stage. The album was almost a
year in the making, and felt like the perfect time to try and put
things in a bigger perspective rather than concentrate on two tracks.
So I wanted to make a dancefloor album but one that could also be
heard as one CD, that could travel through different styles, but you
could still connect the dots between the first and last tracks,“ says
Linus.With a remix for Moby under his belt and a tour in the pipeline,
Style of Eye is proof that cutting edge house isn’t Sweden’s only
hottest export...

A1 Baseline biog
A1 Bassline aka Christian Sibthorpe started DJ'ing at the ripe old age
of 12 and had his first release at the age of 16 under the name of
Infamy. He started the project just over a year ago influenced by old
garage, drum and bass, hip hop and house.

He has a number of remixes under his belt including: Ladyhawke, Little
Boots, The Virgins, Rochelle, FrankMusik, Yo Majesty, Esser, Cadence
Weapon, The Qemists ft.Wiley, Ghost Frequency, Glamour For Better,
Alex Roots, Heavy Feet , Buraka Som Sistema, Example, the list goes
on. But it was his Girl Thing EP (Meal Deal) which made his name
popular and was massive on the blogs. He has had support from the
likes of Armand van Heldon, Fake Blood, Sinden, Jack Beats, Annie Mac,
Trevor Nelson, Rob da Bank, Kissy Sell Out, Andy George, Bloody
Beetroots etc...



His next single will be Bad Man Horror theme, which is currently the
track behind the Nike 5 campaign ( Nike being one of his sponsors),
due to come out in the summer. A1 is also hoping to finish his
reworking of Adamski's Killer in time for a 20th anniversary release
also in the summer. The press has been kind, with features in Dazed,
Front, Stool Pigeon and tipped for the top by NME, aswell as 4****
reviews in DJ and MixMag.

On the live/DJ front Christian has toured the USA/ Mexico 3 times,
Canada, most of Europe and is looking forward to a tough schedule
ahead, with festivals including Bestival, Mad Ferret, Creamfields and
a tour of Australia to look forward to. You will soon be able to catch
