Bogdan Raczynski and Bjork: Who Is It
by Bogdan Raczynski is an old name to many in the realms of “intelligent dance music” after his first release in ’99 under the wing of Aphex Twin’s Richard D James’ Reflex Records. Since his first release, he has rarely changed his form: creating heavy laden beats flooded with strained and strange vocals, often reminiscent of early Aphex Twin or Squarepusher.
As a performer, his live shows tend to be highly melodramatic ,after once performing in a Power Rangers costume. Bogdan continues to push the boundaries of IDM. Who Is It?, featuring Bjork, is a particular highlight for me and shows Bogdan’s playful side in the video above.

One Dot Zero is a great website showcasing contemporary visual arts projects based in London. I found it when researching alternative forms for my course in Film and Theatre. But it’s also a good outlet for filmmakers, amateur animators, or artists to get involved in.
Tweak Bird are a two-piece garage rock band with a really nice groove and some great harmonies. Lights In Lines will be stuck in your head for a very long time. It seems to have an almost ‘stoner-rock’ feel but isn’t solely reachable for listeners who are high.
Red Snapper: Bogeyman (off the Making Bones album)
Red Snapper are a great electronica band with some really rich melodies. Often drawing direct influences from jazz, integrating the double bass and saxophone. I’ve loved this band for a long time and recently found my old copy of Making Bones from 1999 and I can’t suggest it enough to any fans of fusion music.
