Aaron Spectre is a multi-instrumentalist American musician currently based in Berlin. He produces in a variety of genres, each style informing the other. A classically trained percussionist, Spectre began performing as a drummer for bands in the Massachusetts hardcore punk scene as a teenager. Since then his frenetic brand of computer programming has evolved through a dizzying variety of changes and personas, at points incorporating dulcimer and electric guitar. His work comprises digital sounds with a distorted soul, fragile melodies sprinkled with urban grit, grime layered over dense harmonies.
Best known for his electrifying live performances, he refuses to sit motionless behind a laptop constantly tweaking and re-working tracks with various MIDI controllers in a flurry of dreadlocks and DIY enthusiasm. He maintains a ferocious tour schedule and has played throughout Europe, North America, and Japan.
Kinnego Flux: This burgeoning local duo comprises of David Baxter (Filaria) and Brian Greene. Their sound combines digital dexterity with live vocals, trumpet, clarinet and various other pieces of instrumentation in a unique blend of styles. They have opened for artists such as Jamie Lidell, Cassette Boy and Yee-King, and are also signed to Belgian label Bugklinik Records.
