In 1988 Steve Angstrom founded TimeShard, noted as innovators in the UK electronic dance underground during the 'second summer of love' in 1989.
Steve's band became known as one of the UK's first live 'acid house' acts, and during this time they developed a sound which became known as Psychedelic trance although at the time they described it as "Shamanic Trance" . A name derived from their interest in using the music, and the trance in a more directed and "magical" way than their peers.

Timeshard's music found success UK's free-festival circuit, which was in a period of transition and fusion as acid house fans found a place to dance without restriction, outside mainstream club culture. Steve and TimeShard built a devoted following among the mixture of punks and Acid House followers which flocked to Britain's free festivals fields during this period.

Gradually, their live show expanded outwards and across Europe, while their sound gained elements of ethno-techno, trance and dub. Timeshard also gained attention for their self-released, cassette-only albums, Who Pilots the Flying Saucers in 1991 and Hyperborean Dome Temples of Apollo the following year. In 1994, Planet Dog signed the group and released Crystal Oscillations and the trio's second full album, Hunab Ku, appeared in 1996.

Touring and performing constantly from 1989 to 2001 Steve moved away from live performance, but now is back after digging through his vaults and discovering hidden treasures, his unreleased works which were recorded in snatched moments but never released.
Recovered Artifacts 93 – 97, soon on Sleepers Records.

QUOTES
“Absolutely gear if you ask me! I’ve got their cassettes in my car which I listen to an awful lot”
John Peel – April 1994

"Steve's music is put together with wit and skill, it betrays Liverpool's long obsession with psychedelic music uprooted and planted in Techno's fertile soil"
Ben Willmott NME 1994

"There is awe inspiring work here. It oscillates quickly, oscillates languorously, it hums thumps and purrs."
David Bennun – Melody Maker.1994

"Steve Angstrom (sitar and Ripping Noises) is happy to act up in his on-stage habitat which resembles a science lab lifted wholesale from Doctor Who circa 1975"
Ben Willmott NME 1996

Couldn't have imagined someone better to start off the new EstimuloShow Guest Mix series than the mystery man behind the UK's Spillway label, Kellon.

He's had a string of releases that just kept wowing us over the last two years, the first four going under his own Kellon project and the fifth that just came out recently opening up to other producers while keeping the typical Spillway profound techno vibe.
It's the same kind of soulful and personal tone that pervades his guest mix contribution, fusing classics and lesser know gems of (mostly 90s) deep house and detroit techno.

20.09 MARICAS
MARICAS was born in January 2018 due to several discussions about the lack of a night-out in Barcelona that combined electronic music and the queer scene. If we look back on history, the techno rave community started with the help of the LGBTQ+ misfits of the 80s. Both communities have very similar values, freedom, youth and underground culture. Our home is Barcelona, but we aim to take MARICAS all over the globe, and have already had nights in Stockholm, Ibiza, Paris, Valencia and participated in Whole Festival. In 2020 MARICAS Records was founded, a genre music fluid label, and the first release was non other than by resident and maricas mother ISAbella.

ISAbella - 20th September 2020

Alexander Francis is a vinyl enthusiast and dj who’s been part of the Brussels club music landscape for over a decade. Two years ago he decided to concentrate on what he loves best: playing deep, quirky sounds designed for intimate dancefloors, and renamed himself francis99 to mark the turning point. Inspired by the rich and diverse Brussels scene, his style echoes years of listening to a wide variety of musical styles, digging and playing records with friends at parties or during all-night home sessions.
After having hosted the Beyond club nights at Fuse with Pierre, Handless Dj and Walrus, you can now find francis99 on Kiosk Radio, at C12 or playing alongside his pals from Basic Moves.
While clubs are still closed as we wait for the waves of covid-19 to break, this bright mix pays homage to some of francis99’s all-time favourites, shares recent findings and showcases newer music from both local and international friends.

Cat No: SCAS3
Format: 12” Vinyl, orange colour

Tracklist: 
A1. We Will Destroy

With part 4 of the Astra Spectra series, we’re excited to have BinaryFunction showcasing three intense and dark electro cuts. The iconic Carl Finlow delivers a stunning remix of “We Will Destroy”

Pressed on a limited run of orange vinyl, the color and name of the EP correspond to Sodium on the Fraunhofer Absorption Spectrum of our sun.

Stefan Weise aka Syrte envisioned the “Astra Spectra” series as a celebration of mankind’s vision for space exploration, past and future, while also expressing a love for space science, science fiction and the spirit of discovery. Each release in the series is representative of a color frequency in our sun’s absorption spectrum and the element which is represented by that, hence the name, which means “Solar Spectrum”.
