Soon after his debut EP, Hoax released his 2nd EP called Specimen 7 on the Portuguese label, Hyper gate

  Cue obligatory pretentious bio:


  
            Markabre spins the mutated waxy detritus of every Eurasian diaspora. A time-traveling sideshow of audio oddities is condensed for your listening pleasure into a set as tight and sharp as a well polished curse. Simultaneously evocative of eras past and man-about-town modern, his selections bely his pickpocket scoundrel youth as he selects only the choicest musical marks for a hit.


  
            Few others have played to such a diverse range of audiences and events making him a shoe-in for any leading man role on the decks. Combine this extensive experience of working with live theatre and performances, giving an ability to construct sets which flow seamlessly around other entertainment.


  
            It pains such a modest man to mention it, but it would fair to warn the ladies, and some gentlemen, of Markabre's devilishly dark good looks which have been known to inflame audiences beyond the bounds of fire regulations.


  
            He is survived by four wives, eighty-nine children and a trained capuchin monkey named Basil.

ONTOLOGICS is an experimental, multi-instrumental duo that has been recognized for fusing genres like progressive rock, hip-hop, electronica, and world music into their eclectic debut record Something to Needle Over. 

Based in Providence, RI, the duo features singer/songwriter, Ian Campopiano, and drummer Matthew Walshe. The album also features three instrumental tracks, dual drum arrangements, and sharp lyricism, which emanates from their energetic live show.

Something To Needle Over has achieved outstanding success on national, specialty, and college radio, reaching #16 on the FMQB Top 200 SubModern chart, breaking their debut indie album into the Top 20. The lead single, “Hologram For The Hollow Man,” charted at #11 on the Alternative Specialty singles charts (KKBB), and at #12 on album charts.

 Their debut album spent four consecutive months on the Top 30 Jambands.com/Relix Magazine national college radio chart spanning from October 2014 - January 2015 reaching #9, #16,#18, #27.

Ian Campopiano is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (Lead Vocals/Lyrics, 2nd Drum Kit, Programming, Guitars, Bass, Midi-Controllers, Roland Spds, Korg Wave Drum, Korg Synth); 

Matthew Walshe brings his orchestral precision to complex time signatures (Main Drum Kit, Aux. Percussion, Korg Wave Drum).

Their songwriting and vocal approach was recognized by P-Nut of 311: "...The cool thing about 'Ebb and Flow' as the 'Go' demo is that it was covered by a band called Ontologics, who did their own version of it and it kills. I played it for Scotch before we started writing the lyrics and the melody to set the bar. I was like, 'Listen to what these guys did. Like they turned this song into like a science fiction masterpiece. And if we can’t beat that, I think we should just do a cover of their song'..." - P-Nut, popdose.com interview (Feb, 2014) Also: July, 2014 NECR interview with Pnut of 311.

"Tool, 311, Incubus, Limp Bizkit, Pink Floyd… Al Di Meola? ... none of the above bands can boast of incorporating such a wide range of influences – from alt rock, progressive rock, electronica, jazz, and rap to world music – in one single song, but Ontologics can...What’s really amazing about this debut record is that despite the cramming in of these myriads of styles, it never leaves you disoriented. Instead of a tedious maze that leaves one confused, Something To Needle Over is more like an exhilarating rollercoaster ride with lots of twists, turns, and jumps." - DAILYVAULT.COM

Something To Needle Over was named one of the top DIY Albums of 2014 by the Indie Rock Cafe and has received scores of press, reviews, and features.

The name of the band stems from the word Ontologic Being, existent, "put into existence to put into existence”. Art for the sake of art, Ontologics is 

“Something to Needle Over”. It is an extension of the individual members, mulling over the sonic details, an extension of what they are.

‘I had to keep a look-out for the signs of dead wood we could cut up in the night for the next day’s steaming. When you have to attend to things of that sort, to the mere incidents of the surface, the reality – the reality, I tell you – fades. The inner truth is hidden – luckily, luckily. But I felt it all the same; I felt often its mysterious stillness watching me at my monkey tricks, just as it watches you fellows performing on your respective tight-ropes for – what is it? half-a-crown a tumble –’

Darren 'Merle' Thompson has been involved in the music scene since 1990 in which time he served his apprenticeship at the infamous InTerDance production studios, 'Dance Floor Studios' in the early 90's working alongside the likes of Aubrey, Lenny Dee, John Digweed & Mr C as a young studio hand. 

Other experiences come from working in various record shops along the south coast such as Peach Flavour Records, Reflex Records, VIP Vinyl. And more recently as part of the management team at the outstanding Murge Recordings, and F-Tech Roots.

His influences come from an eclectic variety of electronic music from backroom grooves through to peak time madness including: Techno, Tech House, Deep House, Tribal, Breaks. 

With quality releases already to date on various labels such as Nathan Coles & Terry Francis Wiggle off shoot label ‘Is This’ under the guise of Cactus Jack (along side with good friend, DJ & production sparring partner, Richie Collins), San Francisco's Household Digital, London's Right Nut Recordings, Murge Recordings, Stark Futures, Mighty Moog, and Sounds of Juan.

Merle’s production style is a blend of new technology and old techniques by harnessing the power of software like Reason, Logic and Pro Tools and combining it with more traditional analogue approaches. Taking each new production with an exploratory approach to sound design to which he then moulds into his unique style. “I usually start with an idea in my mind of want I hope to achieve, lay down the beats and then let the rest of the production evolve naturally.
"I absolutely love the freedom and flexibility that working with software gives me”.

Merle has hosted on popular radio stations in his time (Some legal and not so legal !) before taking the opportunity to play regular guest slots on Richie Collins ‘Pointblank FM’ Show (London). It inspired him to start hosting his own weekly show again on Jacks House & Brap FM which ran for over 3 years.

DJ duties have seen him spinning at some of the countries finest established nights such as Club UK, The Manor, Sterns, The House & Browns (Nottingham), London Universities Tour, Ministry of Sound, Cream Tour, Renaissance Tour, Mixmag Tour, Journeys By DJ Tour and Underworld.

The Beekeepers are two Bristol producers working with a collective of singers and musicians to deliver an album of lush orchestration, dark dub, tight beats and killer songs. It is true to the tradition of music from their hometown and occasionally referencing those influences but always looking to move the game forward and never succumbing to the need to be po-faced or deathly serious. Yes there are heavy tracks on the album but there are also tunes that you can drop at a club or a house party because after all that’s where both of the Beekeepers are coming from.
Scott “Boca 45” Hendy is a man with his finger in several musical pies. As well as his DJ production work as Boca 45, he is the writer producer behind indie band Diego The Dissidents (recently featured in the Banksy Film “Exit Through the Gift Shop”) as well as being the man behind the mixing desk for Malachai (signed to Domino Records and feted by Zane Lowe as his “hottest record in the world” on his radio show)
Parker completes the core of The Beekeepers. An extremely talented and always in demand DJ who learnt his trade via the battle route - he has been steadily picking up fans since the release of his debut Parker album “To Eternity”. He has since had a series of block rocking releases on labels like Jalapeno, GoodGroove and Bombstrikes and his dubstep re-fix of James Brown hit the # 1 spot on Hype Machine. His biggest smash though has been the infinitely popular 'Where's My Monkey?' track which made him a YouTube hit.
Often booked on the same bills the two were firm fans of each other’s DJ styles and skills and over a few pints of cider (the west country way) decided that perhaps the time was right to work together.
