Zylinderkopf - aka Steven Wilson-Beales - released his debut album ‘Are You There?’ in 2023. In response to the covid crisis, it presented a variety of musical styles mixed together in an effort to  escape our collective trauma - blues-driven electronica, colourful pop ballads, basic four-to-the-floor wholesome techno goodness.  

Zylinderkopf’s influences are varied - from the electronic experiments of Holger Hiller to the psychedelic richness of Hawkwind or Fever Ray. ‘The point of Zylinderkopf is that there are no boundaries’ says Steve, wistfully gazing at his copy of Baudelaire’s Fleurs du Mal.


For his second album ‘Body:Soul’ released in 2025, Steve has worked with London-based artist/producer Third Son to put the finishing touches to his album. This time, Zylinderkopf takes aim at the futility of politics and the commodification of love. “I think a love song is the pinnacle of all good songwriting - it’s just that, when I write them, they come out as these weird dark electronic things.’ 

Zylinderkopf’s third album ‘A Quiet Prayer In a Time of War’ is due to be released in early 2026. This time, there’s no singing, just a collection of musical landscapes moving between Drum and Bass, Electronica and 80s synth pop. ‘Imagine Jean Michel Jarre going out on a big night with Daft Punk and Chris De Burgh - that’s basically what you’re getting.’

J-Force  - originally hailing from the UK, now based near Frankfurt, Germany. A dedicated fan of Techno, Drum & Bass, and Hardcore since the 1990s, producing and mixing since 2020.

Immerse yourself in the dark, industrial, hard and heavy sounds, characterised by powerful, intricate FX, kicks & clicks. 
Please notice 2 seperated J-Force track-playlists: dark & industrial vs. faster hardtechno. 

The passion lies in the sheer enjoyment, inspiration, and sharing of music and soundscapes with like-minded individuals.

A native-born Texan, John Michael Pekowski, PhD (b. 1975) began composing music at age 11. Simple improvisations on the family upright piano were followed by electronic compositions in BASIC code on the TI-99 computer.

In Junior High (1988) he was elected President of the Science Club, served as Social Chairman of the band, was awarded the John Philip Sousa Award, and was a featured soloist on trumpet. In High School (1994) John was section leader, co-principal trumpet of LYSO, Jazz One soloist (TTU Band Camp), and TMEA All-State Concert Band participant.

He was a member of the Texas Tech University Jazz One, Symphonic Band (1994-2002), recorded with the fee-improvisation ensemble YATE, his dissertation greatly advanced our understanding of the hierarchical organization of pitch-interval cycles within a voice-leading context, and was in contention for the Graduate Achievement Award.

The world premiere of his composition Jest of Moonlit Point for Pierrot Quintet, took place in 2024 and was performed by the Texas New Music Ensemble conducted by Bill Tacket. In 2021 Forest of the Birdsong for soprano sax (David Dees) and piano (Nataliya Sukhina) was premiered at Crickets Theater / Buddy Holly Hall.
