Rising enigmatic Brighton songwriter Milo Korbenski, delivers his debut album proper "When You Gonna Tell ‘Em the Truth, Aaron?" (Phantom Limb), a stunning collection of haunted, heavy, unique art-dream-indie-pop earworms. He's a shadowy, anonymous solo musician only publicly seen in a featureless white mask. However, his deeply expressive take on lo-fi slacker indie invokes a heartfelt intimacy, singing straight from the soul. Quickly becoming a formidable live act, Milo Korbenski performs live (in mask and Stetson) with a full band, and has played alongside acts such as Babii, Jeffrey Lewis, Art d’Ecco and others with a flourishing stage presence.
Belgium born, Berlin based, Manu Louis mixes chanson française, genial dilettante, avant-garde composer, new beat, old hit, art-pop & hard bop to create provocative and decontextualized juxtapositions. Last album "Club Copy" released on IGLOO, mastered by legendary Rashad Becker. He studied composition with legendary composer Fréderic Rzewski, electronic music on the internet, and dancing during his concerts. A Passionate singer, and knob agitator, he also plays the guitar in his own unique punk jazz way...
Milo Korbenski
A true auteur, and inexhaustibly prolific, Milo recorded, designed and self-released a number of albums before releasing the raucous ‘When you Gonna Tell ‘Em the Truth, Aaron?’ with Brighton based label Phantom Limb. His music is defined by eerie undertones, stretching out through a multitude of catchy-as-hell hooks, clever lyrical wordplay, and deceptively lean instrumentation that belies its own simplicity.
Manu Louis
Equally at home working with electronic dance, classical or jazz musicians, Manu has performed his stuff from completely acoustic solo up to 200 wind players and everything in between. In his music (fortunately, as is the case today for many young musicians) style doesn’t exist. He mixes things that cross his path, and creates new adventures of provocative and decontextualized juxtapositions. His general blueprint remains the same throughout, but the ingredients he uses vary; from dissident chanson française, genial dilettante, avant-garde composers, new beat, old hits, art-pop & hard bop.
Under his name, Manu has released three LP's and several 7’’ on Igloo Records, Le Pacifique records and New Pangea. Recent years saw him perform his electronic solo shows more than 500 times in Europe and Asia (including: Bimhuis [Amsterdam], Fusion Festival [Lärz], Tremor Fest [Acores], La Casa Encendida[Madrid], PopKultur [Berlin], Tsutavo o Nest [Tokyo], DDC [Beijing] and Contrapop [Ramsgate]). Travelling with a village of electronic instruments, and video projections from pop stars to animals, he delivers passionate performances that switch gear into impromptu discotheque.
Recently, Manu has collaborated with Front de Cadeaux, Héctor Arnau, Ilan Manouach, Systaime, Escif, Dawanggang and Carl Roossens. With Sylvain Chauveau, he co-founded Zero Carbon Records (an impossible label converted into 'no oil/no electricity' tours). With Mary Ocher, he has co-curated the Underground Institute Festival (Berlin). And with Adrien Lambinet, he co-directed 'Music for Trees', a tribute to Garrett List.
Manu also gives workshops, lectures, makes DJ sets, and has done mixes for Kiosk Radio, Hotel Radio Paris, Gonzai, Noods, Jolt Radio and Reboot FM.
