Led er Est

Led er Est
Led er est was formed in early 2007 by Samuel Kklovenhoof and Shawn NoEQ. Drawing from the dire, aggressive textures of first-wave industrial music, the craftsmanship and ambience of cold wave and post-punk, and the primal kineticism of old school house and techno, the project was initially more of an outlet for song fragments and delirious baubles. As their sound took a more structured turn towards the end of 2007, Owen Stokes was recruited to add an additional synth to the minimal electronic arsenal.

Led Er Est strives towards that which is otherworldy and alien(ating), but also immediate and infectious. Their live performance is raw and unhinged, at times leaning towards the improvisatory, but ultimately rooted in traditional songcraft. An active part of the Wierd Records family as regular DJs at the weekly party, Led er Est have garnered a strong cult following in the experimental electronic, minimal synth, house, and disco scenes in Brooklyn and lower Manhattan. Their debut LP Dust On Common was recently released by Wierd Records on November 15th.

Fan-Tan

Fan-Tan
Fan-Tan formed in the fall of 2006 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina when Kuki and Sandee Kooks met Ryan Lee Dunlap and began making music that parted stylistically from the 90s alt rock sound so abundant in the area, and drew more from British post-punk to new wave. After a few months of recording demos and playing shows around the area, the trio decided to move the project and themselves to New York where they incorporated the unique synth sounds of fellow North Carolinian and circuit-bender Mike Walters, who had also recently relocated. It is here where ultimately the sound of Fan-Tan would take shape. Over the next two years the band played venues all over New York, toured the east coast, and began recording their second EP with Arjun Agerwala at James Iha's Stratosphere Sound Studio in Chelsea. The results of those sessions, entitled "The Age of Discover" will be released on March 26th, 2010, followed by a US tour in May.

Kordan

Kordan
Kordan is a Brooklyn trio that mesh lush textures, pulsating beats, and somber melodies to project dreams of bleak, dismal cities in a holographic future.

The group's debut album, The Longing, is the music to a film about love in a hazy metropolis circa 2036, where the sky seems tuned to a dead channel, the city glimmers with neon dreams, and holograms of lovers drift away.
