Equipped with an array of samplers, sequencers and vintage synthesizers, San Francisco wunderkinds Broker/Dealer make catchy minimal electronic music equally suited for the den or the dancefloor. Simultaneously channeling the aquatic dub of Berlin's Chain Reaction label and the genre-defining minimal techno of the Kompakt imprint, on their debut full-length, "Initial Public Offering," B/D recalls German electronic artists like Mike Ink, not to mention Metro Area's innovative electro-disco. Featuring subterranean basslines, ambient synth pads, dubby beats and interlocking pop melodies, Broker/Dealer's porous, punchy tracks and classy melodic nuances have been eliciting comparisons with the likes of early Mouse on Mars and Thomas Brinkmann since the release of their first 12" on the well-respected Cologne label, Traum Schallplatten, home to B/D heroes Process, Dinky and Phillipe Cam. Having recently contributed a Process remix to the Traum artist's tribute record, Re-Processed, mixed by Doc Martin on the Fabric 10 compilation and an appearance on the Death Before Disco anthology on PrinceHouse, Broker/Dealer are receiving a phenomenal amount of well-deserved recognition for an outstanding young band at the beginning of a promising career. Broker/Dealer have made the move to Spectral Sound for their latest 12", with another release on Spectral on its way later this week.Broker/Dealer also host a monthly party called POP at the Rx Gallery in their native San Francisco.

A familiar freaky face in New York night life, Roy Dank has been playing in and around the city for the past several years. Connecting the dots between oddball disco and punk funk with bits of house, techno, electro, funk and dub reggae in the mix, Roy likes to play music that you won't normally hear, let alone make you sweaty and wildin on the dancefloor. In 2003, he launched the Pop Your Funk monthly with friend and respected DJ/Producer Brennan Green, and over the course of 2 years, the boys played alongside Maurice Fulton, Chicken Lips, Joakim, Martin Moscrop from A Certain Ratio, Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas, Andrew Weatherall and John Selway, amongst others. Roy's currently in the studio cookin' up some tasty edits and original works.

Jeffrey "Menergy" Sfire's introduction to the underground dance scene and illegal warehouse parties of Detroit occurred at the age of 15. This escape from suburban high society led him to some of the city's most talented DJs and musicians, who soon exposed him to a new culture
of creative riches. Sfire's taste and skills as a DJ developed naturally as he soon began playing out at parties, clubs and sleazy gay afterhours, usually entering covertly through back doors or with a fake ID. At the age of 18, a move to Chicago exposed Sfire to a whole other side of dance, namely italo disco and high energy. Ever the jetsetter, Sfire regularly plays in LA, Detroit, Chicago, and NYC combining sounds of old and new.
