    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Erika dreams on the cellular level, or perhaps of transdimensional intelligences moving through strange patterns on celestial objects, working towards a mysterious goal. Her connection to the dreamworld becomes concrete in her approach to music, simultaneously so solid and yet so ethereal. Erika still finds time to accomplish many things in her waking hours, such as being a member of Ectomorph, co-conspirator of Detroit's Interdimensional Transmissions record label, DJing and making music with her pet machines. Her freeform streaming radio station erika.net was one of the very first iTunes presets, running 24x7 for 17 years from 1999 to 2016. Prior to that, Erika was very involved in WCBN-FM Ann Arbor, as a freeform and jazz DJ, and Program Director. The daughter of a famed scientist and already running a well known BBS from her bedroom by the time she was 13, Erika is no stranger to expressing her ideas through technology. In 1997 she was handed a TR-606 and asked to join Ectomorph, and has since become an electronic musician of the highest order, focusing on analog synthesis, with live hardware sequencing that allows transformation over time and a deep depth of tone. to book live or DJ — NA: michelle@thebunkerny.com rest of world: mike@berytus.art

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Born to a Jamaican mother and Antiguan father, Alchemy perceives music as a vehicle to bring listeners on a sonic journey to destinations that are deeply influenced by Caribbean culture. With pit stops in Montego Bay, London, and New Jersey (where he spent most of his time growing up), silky rhythms and infectious drumlines are utilized as tools to connect listeners to his upbringing.
