"Mèsico was my grandfather. He came into the world in the middle of the ocean, on the poorest deck of a ship that was bringing home his family from Brazil, after some years spent as immigrants. It was the beginning of the last century. Once in Italy, he was christened with the name of Guido but, for the rest of his life, he was called Giovanni, in memory of his older brother, who died falling off the ladder of the barn. My grandfather was a huge guy, wider than tall, strong as a bull, fierce, hungry. In the tiny Italian village where he grew up, people didn't know much about the rest of the world. Whether you were from Brazil, Chile, Argentina or Mexico, it made no difference to them. So, he was marked for life with the nickname of Mèsico, with a "S" instead of a "X", because of the hasty and unceremonious local dialect. Later on, my father was called Mèsico and now, I am Mèsico".

Mèsico is Paolo Mazzacani, co-founder of the electronic duo Tempelhof. This is his first work as solo.

In My Room was born in Parma at the end of 2002 as a solo project of Marco Monica: acoustic guitar, violin, glockenspiel are moulded over minimalistic electronic texures close to dream pop, at the crosspoint between song structures and avantgarde, rhythmical patterns and quiet melancholy. The first cdr “Three Good News in October” is released by Matteo Casari’s Marsiglia Records, attracting rave reviews. The songs are performed live tks to the help of three friends, who became an integral part of the line up, now featuring: Marco Monica – voice, acoustic guitar, computers; Emanuele Missorini – electric guitar, bass; Deborah Penzo – violin; Agnese Roda – voice.
Saturday Saturn, their first album, out on Suiteside in May 2005, has been completely recorded at Marco’s home, but it sounds nevertherless magically crafted, perfectly texturing voices and instruments, and the acoustic with the electronic side. The ideal comrades in the magical paintings of IMR could be the likes of Tarwater, Fennesz, The Books, even if the quartet reveal a character of its own, expecially in the timbre solutions and in the shapes of the delicate vocal melodies.

MILES is a parisian songwriter, swinging electric & acoustic guitar, piano and loops. His second album was called « I Miss Boredom ». But passion and intensity defines Miles Oliver, folk songwriter of a nouveau genre. Before singing his dreamy, dark et haunting melodies, the Parisian troubadour played a lot of rock and hardcore. And his music has kept its energy, tension and emergency. One band itself!
An alchemy between lo-fi rock, sad folk and poetry that makes you think about Bonnie Prince Billy, Sonic Youth and Troy Von Balthazar. 
He played more than 170 shows in France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republik .  He shared stage with Shannon Wright, Troy Von Balthazar, King Dude, Francois Virot, Jonah Matranga and House Of Wolves.. His first LP “Breathe” is out November 2014, his second LP "I Miss Boredom" is out March 2016.
