<b>Sigha</b>'s combination of cavernous soundscapes and stoically
forward-skanking beats happens to be pretty much at the edge of
dubstep/minimal-crossover, which has become so popular over the past
years. Musical influences come from artists such as Shed, Marcel
Dettmann, and Pole, as well as dubstep masters Martyn and 2562. With
his debut release on Hotflush Two he delivers a brilliantly executed
realisation of Minimalism without resorting to clich'ed effects. His
ostensibly calm and fragile productions turn out to be hitting
dancefloors ultra-hard once they're played on a big system.<br>

Originally coming from Experimental/Techno, <b>Ca.tter</b> first
attracted attention as one third of 550 Rondy and their 2001 release on
Vienna's legendary Cheap Entertainment imprint, with two more EPs
subsequently following on temp~records. In 2004 however, Catarina
Pratter's first solo-release came out on Berlin-based label SueMi,
contributions to Gudrun Gut's Monika Enterprise and Electric Indigo's
Female Pressure Compilations followed. Being strongly infected by
Dubstep, Catarina Pratter's productions started to embrace a newly
found darkness around 2006, with 4x4 schemes being steadily abandoned.
As she returns as Ca.tter in 2008, her roots are still clearly audible
not least in form of a endlessly skanking hi-head, while the structure
of her sounds has immersed into the infinite darkness of bass-culture.<br>

Ausreichend verzweifelt ueber den ewiggleichen minimalkram,
ausgeruestet mit gruenem tee, einer passablen espressomaschine (2
heizkreise), diversen alkoholika und SuperCollider - dem
schweizer-messer fuer computermusik - ueberlassen Christoph Kummerer
und Martin Stepanek (aka <b>Sci-Fi Trackers</b>) den maschinen die
trivialen probleme um sich selbst ganz den interessanten aspekten des
funcStep zu widmen. Dark - aber nie ohne augenzwinkern, detroit -
weil's so schoen ist, fett - obwohl man das nicht mehr sagt und
reverbtails wie ein salto vom 10er. Und dann meinte ueber die beiden
das magazin fuer elektronische lebensaspekte de:bug bereits 2000:
"...(natürlich um Meilen besser als die ganzen eingebildeten
Engländer)...".<br>
