***********************************************
Daiphlux (B) aim records
Daiphlux is like a cross-pollination of different sound-images, caught in a 
single, elegant motion, synthesizing frequencies in its wake. Happy, 
object-oriented street sounds, ingeniously manipulated by Daiphlux.

low res (USA) plug research, aim records
low res = Danny Zelonky = Crank. Besides release as 'low res', Danny 
Zelonky has released albums for Sony and Mille Plateaux under his alias 
'Crank'. His sound is best described as electronically ravaged and 
worked-over jazz with surprising structure and tone colour.

Astrobotnia alias Ovuca (FIN) Rephlex
Completely in line with, but surprisingly not being a 'real' Aphex Twin, 
Astrobotnia's music is filled with drill-tempo beats, curious melodic lines 
and hazy, rarefied electronics. Once you realize that Astrobotnia also 
stands for the broken drill and bass-like Ovuca, you know that this is one 
concert that will rock.

AGF (D) Orthlorng Musork
AGF, or Antye Greie-Fuchs, is also known as the female half of Laub. Her 
music sounds like a warm version of minimal electronics with her voice 
mixed over, resulting in a fusion of complete alienation with disturbing 
sound structures.
http://www.musork.com/o_08.html / http://www.musork.com/orth_press/orth08/

Radian (A) Mego, Thrill Jockey
Radian is a combo that resolves the conflict between electronics and 
'instruments' in a completely fresh tone colour. Radian improvises, 
structures, and surprises with bass, drums and digital and analog 
synthesizers. Their live performance will be enhanced by the visuals of 
Dariusz Krzeczek.

Felix Kubin (D) Diskono, A-Musik
Kubin is an intergalactic prince who treats us to tunes and performances 
that are both rancid and catchy. This full-blooded performer always 
fascinates with his charismatic concerts and humorous music. He will by 
supported live by MEEUW, working his visual magic.

Eni-Less (NL)
Rotterdam's most innovative turntablist once gave a sparkling performance 
at dot.nu called Picture Disc together with TCW23. Enio Ramalho (eni-less) 
is one of Zuco 103's dj's, a member of Redrum Squad and founder of the 
turntablism festival National Phonographic.

Kadah Vresky (B) DUB
This Belgian-Walonian trio spews forth sputtering and crumbling hip-hop 
beats that disintegrate into silence, only to come back with a vengeance. 
Music to enforce movement.

Kettel (NL) Planet Mu, Neo Ouija, DUB
'Cenny Crush' is perhaps the best Dutch, best worldwide album of the year. 
Creative, hip-hop related beats embellished with lovely melodies and a 
fresh, open sound. This young man from Groningen breaks through 
internationally with this very mature album.
http://www.clone.nl

Boom Bip & Dose One (USA) LEAF, Lex Records
Abstract, IDM related hip-hop, featuring one crazy rapper, spitting out his 
ominous phrases on the Warp-sublabel Lex and the always innovative label 
LEAF. Boon Bip is also known for his "deep groove turntable performances", 
and Dose One is one of the most sought after rappers with intriguing acts 
such as cLoudead, Themselves and Revolutionary Ink.

Cenik dj's (NL)
The Funcken brothers are very much into hip-hop. Over the past few months 
they have been working on an impressive new album that is bound to surprise 
everyone. Their turntable tricks are sure to enchant us all.

visuals by TCW 23 (NL)
Arthur Ivens (TCW 23) is an avid explorer of the relationship between image 
and sound. Ivens is one of the co-founders of the artists' initiative 
‘F.A.R.B.: Foundation Against Repetitive Behaviour’, which primarily 
concerns itself with cross-over projects.


performances:

With the project ‘Can You See Me Now?’ the artists’ group Blast Theory 
incorporates the latest communication technologies to play a game 
simultaneously on line and in the streets. For a period of five days 
players, while sitting at their computers, are virtually being chased by 
living hunters at the Kop van Zuid: the members of Blast Theory. A 
reconstruction of the ‘hunt’ will afterwards be available on the website. 
Visitors of ‘DEAF03’ can apply to take part in ‘Can You See Me Now?’.

‘whisper’ is a participatory public installation by Thecla Schiphorst 
(CDN), Susan Kozel (CDN/GB) and the whisperteam, based on small wearable 
devices and intelligent garments that can be put on by the audience.The 
affectionate computing devices inside the garments gather physical data and 
signals generated by the bodies, and respond to these, visually and audible.

The live performance ‘Interfacing/Radiotopia/Keyworx’ is a collaborative 
project by Rupert Huber (A) and Sher Doruff (USA/NL), assisted by L. Loos 
(NL), M. Teran (CDN), E. Redlinger (USA) and I. Jenniches (AU/NL). 
‘Interfacing/Radiotopia/Keyworx’ consists of one space that has no images 
and has only sound, and one space that has no sound and only images. They 
are connected both physically and via the Internet. The sound in the audio 
space is mixed live by musicians and is then converted into images in the 
other space. Artists from all over the world were asked to send in material 
to fill up a database that will be manipulated live by artists who are 
present at ‘DEAF03’ and by artists participating on line.
