BMGIn addition to co founding the group Ectomorph, IT label head BMG is an accomplished world wide DJ, leading to a lasting collaboration with NYC punk funk legend Sal Principato of Liquid Liquid. Sal first joined BMG on stage during a DJ set in South Africa, followed by a guest appearance on an Ectomorph record. The project has grown into Electric Skin, whose debut single "Credit Card" is due imminently...
Scott ZachariasA musically ambidextrous Detroit artist and co founder of Disco Secret, a weekly party celebrating obscure disco at Detroit leather bar The Eagle. He started in thrash bands as a teenager then moved on to space rock project Monaural. Since that era he has bloosmed into Detroit's best kept secret, a true student of freeform dance music.
Sal P Cofounder of the legendary punk funk outfit Liquid Liquid, who pioneered a unique sound that has inspired everybody from Grandmaster Flash to DFA to Carl Craig. They have released on 99 Records, DFA, Mo Wax and Domino. Sal P first performed in Detroit in 2003 as part of Liquid Liquid, headlining the Underground Stage of the DEMF. Sal collaborates with BMG (and others) on the Electric Skin project.
