Note: Filastine is still creating music, art and ideas, but has escaped from the commercial music industry. This account is now an archive. Bio below-
Grey Filastine is a multimedia artist dedicated to undermining borders. His music collides electronic beat production with dense layers of voice, concréte sounds, and strings. Pitchfork says it “sounds less like `world’ music and more like music from another world.” Another world is exactly what he aims to create, using sound, video, and dance to express a radically different vision of the possible. 
Filastine’s higher education is limited to driving a taxi in the United States, where he also founded the Infernal Noise Brigade marching band to live score the 1999 revolt against the WTO in Seattle. In 2006 DJ/Rupture released Filastine’s premiere album, Burn It!, which relocated him to Barcelona and launched a decade of releases and tours. His latest AV effort, Abandon, is a video series profiling dances of emancipation, filmed in locations from coal mines in Borneo to office cubicles in America.
Filastine is foremost a performing artist, where sound, image, and ideas are embodied. He is constantly on tour, appearing at festivals like Sonar (ES), Sydney Festival (AU), Downtown Cairo Arts (EG), Decibel (US), Foreign Affairs (DE) and Mutek Tokyo (JP). But Filastine’s work sometimes doesn’t fit any stage or category, his off-piste interventions include an official mixtape for The Act of Killing documentary, a Sound Swarm at the Paris Climate Summit, or a concert in the Calais Jungle migrant camp.

Cellar Graves is a dark electronic music endeavor from Tympanik Audio recording artist Chase Dobson that is firmly rooted in Dobson’s love of early 90’s Electro-Industrial.  Bringing classic industrial and EBM sounds into a modern context, Cellar Graves combines heavy beats with complex synth programming and haunting atmospheres to create songs that hit hard on the dance floor while simultaneously providing a richly layered, engaging listen in a more intimate setting.
