about

Pulse Lovers – The more accessible electronic project of Doncaster’s Mat Handley who runs the You The Night And the Music show on sine.FM. .
Why this cover? “Chosen purely for camp novelty value (I originally wanted to do ‘Teenage Werewolf’ but struggled with the non 4/4 time signature!), ‘Human Fly’ has its tongue firmly in its cheek .” reverbnation.com/pulselovers4

Jan Doyle Band – Doncaster’s biggest haired dark electronic band mixing industrial synthpop darkwave and goth. Vocalist Derek also organises these DEF events
Why this Cover? “Frankly it’s a brilliant song and it’s tremendous fun to be a ‘dark’ band performing a ridiculously fun pop song. Blame Andrew Eldritch.” Jandoyleband.com

Berlyn Trilogy- Symphonic synthpop, with a darkly romantic edge from Wakefield that puts a strong emphasis on the LIVE in their live shows, rather than backing tracks. Their star is rising very fast...
Why this cover? “Largely the challenge of taking a song based around guitars and converting it to synthesisers. As for the rapping – the culmination of suppressed urges of James and Dorian “ berlyntrilogy.co.uk

Tokyo Witch Hunt – Izzie Kirk writes and produces music in the form of this sharp and exciting electro project. From the Sheffield/Barnsley area.
Why this cover? 'A Forest' is way up there in many top 10 songs, I wanted the challenge of covering it so that it would swim rather than sink in people’s very high estimation. - Tokyowitchhunt.com

The Webb – Gary Numan and Siouxsie inspired gothy electro punk from The Wirral, Liverpool who despite dark themes frequently display a sense of fun.
Why this cover: “We love Siouxsie and the Banshees and thought it very apt to do Halloween when we were playing DEF at Halloween“ facebook.com/thewebbband

Silver Factory Superstars – Cited as one of Britain’s brightest pop music hopes, their traditional English pop songs sear with melodies and captivate with heart-felt lyrics.
Why this cover? “Rediscovered while flicking through the radio stations in the car. It was realised this classic would lend itself to a synthpop overhall”. facebook.com/silverfactorysuperstars

Your Silent Face (ft Parralox) – the electronic products of an unhealthy obsession with artificial soundscapes and textured rhythms, all wrapped in synthlust...
Why this Cover? “Because it's a great song, hidden away at the end of an somewhat unloved album... and I think it's just beautiful”
soundcloud.com/your-silent-face

The Alpha Video – Born in a radioactive VHS tape rental store; he is the video word made flesh . He produces unique and delightful music via the iThing, a style we have called ‘iPOP’
Why this cover: ” Thom Yorke appeared to me in a dream and said that he always wanted Creep to be a europop song but the band wouldn't let him so would I possibly do it for him to finally do the song justice. So I did..” thealphavideo.bandcamp.com

John Costello – Sleek electro with a dark sci fi edge, John has been creating electronic music since the 80s and is currently collaborating with Geoff Pinckney of Tenek on a new album.
Why this cover: “Simply a big fan of the band and this track and now they say they love this cover so things have come full circle.” Subunitfour.bandcamp.com
