dep
"Prolific, proficient, innovative, introspective, timeless, cinematic."
These are some of the words that have been used to describe the music of dep, the recording name of producer/one-man-band Danny Peck.
His compositions are 'a blend of techniques involving digital/analogue sounds, field recordings, circuit bending and basic sequencing all wrapped up in to melodic explorations in electronica,' but the compelling beauty of his work shares as much, aesthetically, with harpsichords and violins as with synthesizers and other analog gadgetry.
He started releasing albums from his bedroom in 2006, and continues to do so today. So far, a total of 11 releases are available at dep.fm, with more emerging every few months.

Ghostkid
is Donny Jankowski, a Milwaukee-based producer and musician.
First influenced by psychedelic and blues guitar, Donny cut his early instrumentals on an old two-track cassette recorder he found in his parents' basement.
Progressing as a musician, it wasn't long before he began migrating towards electronic music production. Pulling influences from lo-fi, IDM, dub, and psychedelia, Ghostkid currently loves balancing an organic and melodic feel over a crunchy, beat-heavy backdrop and spacious atmosphere.
Ghostkid albums never sound completely alike, but multi-layered sound and a bit of sci-fi always hold his style together.
(Spooky Child is just one of many side projects).

Kaveh Kanes
Long long time ago our ancestor from one of the Middle East countries called Yemen, they didn’t have any idea on how to make modern music. Til the day, they crossed the sea and finally found the paradise country called “Indonesia”, they stayed there still and had a lot more generations. Today, we, their lineages, meet and share the same sense of music, taste and joke, we decided to make that modern music which didn’t exist in those days. We called ourselves Kaveh Kanes.
Kaveh Kanes is a lo-fi pop band from Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which formed by the end of 2011. Kaveh Kanes consists of four person, so far we’ve already recorded two songs named, ‘Rose Garden and Modern Times’. We’re looking forward to making some new songs to bring a bit of left-field fun and happiness to everyone.

Maybe Starry Skies
"After many years playing punk-rock in several bands, I recently started a new musical project based on instrumental pieces of music, inspired by post-rock, movies, and emotional atmospheres. Maybe Starry Skies could be defined as music to listen on the road, when the night has fallen, travelling to unknown cities.
For now I am working on my music alone, but I'm always looking for collaborations and contributions to build and make Maybe Starry Skies' universe evolve."

When Tides Collide
This project was started many years ago by Carlos R. Andujar with the intention of creating music, sound, or noise for the sole purpose of sleep accompaniment. As time passed the elements coalesced and transformed into an amalgam wrought from various musical influences ranging from ambient moods, hints of folk, indie rock, and pop. When Tides Collide has materialized in a variety of fashions throughout the years and encourages the "collective" mentality, allowing whomever is interested in performing in the live setting to do so. The cast continues to revolve, and the music continues to flow.
