PARAL-LEL is a duo composed of two artists, Slush and Praktisch, also both founders of BEE Records. Slush built his own sound by becoming an expert DJ in electro breakbeat and breakcore, while Praktisch got into more subtle sounds like post rock and click n' cuts atmospheres. On stage, Paral.lel gathers these influences into a dynamic and lively electro which is based on organic melodies that leave enough room for powerfull breaks.

NTH SYNTHESIS: American born Pierce Warnecke and Frenchman Romain Serrate are the two humans that comprise this Nth Synthesis. Two geeks from different backgrounds, both captivated by technology and intelligent machines. After releasing an EP on the Canadian label Nishi, they return in May 2008 with a dual 5 song/3 video CD on BEE Records. Throughout their work they draw a universe of catchy melodies, chopped beats and distorted fractals. An alchemy right on the border of chaos, like the thermodynamic triple point between three phases: sound, emotion and images. Influences as diverse as Brian Eno, Plaid, Klaus Schulze Philip K Dick or Maurice G Dantec fill their simple 'human' minds.
