Bios:

New York native Zach Lipkins has been involved with music since the age of 7, when he first played the drums. Since then, he has explored many percussive and melodic instruments alike. Initially showing a passion for music with a more aggressive edge, Zach was drawn towards acts such as Deftones and Incubus in his earlier days. When he began attending Berklee College of Music, his musical tastes began to expand, gyrating towards electronic music. Zach's sound as an artist has since evolved into a a blend of IDM, Trip-Hop and world influences, fused together with an organically electronic theme."

Soffie Viemose is originally from Roskilde, Demark.  She moved to Boston in 2007 to attend Berklee College of Music after receiving a scholarship.  Soffie was featured on the 2008 Berklee Electronica compilation and was a finalist in the International John Lennon Songwriting contest for her single "Try".  She has produced several music videos working with Danish visual artist Naja Ankarfeldt and is currently in the processing of recording her first album. Soffie's songs are supported by frosty, tranquil textures and minimalist, glitchy electronic beats, and feature her bold but delicate voice.

Innocent Gunn is a collaboration between three members: Johannes Bochmann, Nick Meehan and Cecil Remmler. The group formed in 2007 in Boston, USA. Their intention was to develop a new way to create and perform house and techno in a live setting. Influences draw heavily on current European trends as well as the classic Chicago sound resulting in an innovative mix for the dancefloor. Innocent Gunn features live audio and visual performances utilizing four laptops. Each set is completely original and improvised, therefore providing a unique and dynamic experience every time.

Elephant.Feed.Monkey: In this present day and age, electronic music can essentialy describe almost anything and everything within the realms of modern popular music.  While most rely heavily upon pressing the "play" button at the right time, a growing movement has been in existence as of late where there are cries for "MORE".  Elephant.Feed.Monkey is a live interplay between the rigidly "expressive" and the organically "mechanical".  Any time is the right time to press that "play" button now.  click.
