More about the acts:

Rotkäppchen What would you get if you crossed Soulwax, Kraftwerk, The Whip and The White Stripes? Well, their (certainly attractive) offspring might look something like Rotkäppchen, a magical English/German two-piece who play live electronic music and look like they’ve stepped straight out of a fairy tale.

Anne and Ian aka Rotkäppchen combine laptop, synths and several technical devices with live drums (played by Anne) to create non-stop danceable bassy electro sets. They play their own songs as well as remixed mash-ups of popular samples – making them a mixture of live band and live DJs.

As their name means ‘little red riding hood’ in German, they’re known for wearing red capes on stage which has become their trademark (and has also shaped their nickname ‘Cape Crusaders’).

Rotkäppchen are based in London, with their home ground being the East London electro scene. They’ve played with some great acts such as Drums of Death, Ladyhawke, Soho Dolls, Lovely Jonjo, Dolby Anol to name a few and have recently played international gigs in Hamburg and Paris.

Alan Starck First signing to Ominim Records (outside of mainstay artist and label founders Yimino) was Alan Starck, an eccentric electronic innovator who has produced a gem of an album, aptly named Farrago.

Initially alerted to the guys at Ominim by a good old-fashioned demo tape, Alan’s playful and humorous electronics immediately appealed and a creative relationship was born.

Originally advised at school that his calling in life was to be a wig-maker, Alan instead chose to study medicine but still found time to get out of the theatre and into the studio where he could create his own brand of music. Inspired musically by an eclectic mix of Detroit Techno artists, Prince, Miles Davis, Stravinsky and Rachmaninov, Alan is now happily working as a London GP, whilst his alter ego spends time conjuring up an array of sonic prescriptions fit for any needy soul. The result of which can be heard in full on this debut long-player.

Doctor Starck’s musical mind is clearly brimming with ideas that inspire him to produce the keyboard runs, acid squelches, bleeps and stabs sprinkled throughout this debut. Luckily for us, he’s busy creating more electronic treats from deep within the lab. Watch this quirky space, why don’t you.
