"TAR / Becomings" is Sequence of Events' first adventure in a psychomagickal Industrial and Post Punk infused musical world released via Subject To Restrictions Discs. The band, consisting of Deniz Ahmet Saridas and Joshua Gottmanns, present their own personal soundtrack to a hypothetical, ever-changing reality that will never again produce its own status quo.

Sequence of Events' songs, artworks and videos embrace the uncertainty and formlessness of a new world. Rather than being paralyzed by fear and confusion, they find pleasure in being driven faster and deeper into this vortex, a comfort that oozes from their delicate compositions, cryptic rhythms, and lyrics of loose poetry.

Growing up in the post-industrial wasteland of West Germany both spent their childhoods surrounded by blighted farmland and abandoned open-cast mines, living in social housing and the temples of religious fanatics. Saridas and Gottmanns individually found their way into fine art studies after already having experimented inside the local music scenes of the Rhein-Ruhr area which had been forged by Kraut, Punk, and raw forms of Techno.

The 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, all things electronic and eccentric, are clearly still a source of inspiration for the two self-taught musicians. Sometimes Sequence of Events sound like Shoegaze from a near future where the English Channel already evaporates under an inflating sun, sometimes they remind you of psychomagickal Industrial or Electronica from a parallel dimension where the Internet must have preceded the invention of analog synthesizers.

Dominik André is active in the Zurich music scene – as a DJ and with his label Subject To Restrictions Discs. He is known for unconventional selections and for creating deep and transcendent as well as ecstatic moments on dancefloors of Festivals and Clubs. Attracted by the weird and the unknown, Dominik André blends quirky techno with mutant trance always immersed in a Wave and Post-Punk inspired aesthetic blurring the lines of dance music.

As former resident at Club Zukunft, now regularly seen at Kauz Club, Kasheme and Stereo in his hometown of Zurich, he also got recognised outside the city. This has taken him to clubs such as Salon Des Amateurs in Düsseldorf, Arkaoda in Istanbul, Astron in Athens and to festivals like Am Bach, Lethargy, Electrosanne or  Montreux Jazz.

He also shares his broad musical understanding on radio stations around the world. He hosts the monthly radio show Murky Rhythms Collide on Radio Raheem in Milan and has made guest appearances on radio stations including NTS and Rinse FM in London, Kiosk Radio in Brussels and the much-missed Red Light Radio in Amsterdam.

Besides his DJ career, Dominik André has a reputation for learning about and documenting electronic music and its scenes as a journalist and publicist. When he's not DJing, he takes care of the creative and administrative direction of his label Subject To Restrictions Discs. With more than 30 releases the label has established itself internationally as a place for 80s- and 90s-influenced music with cross-genre aspirations.
