Urbi et Orbi is the latest release ¬ the 4th ¬ for the Rome-based label MinimalRome.
The title stands for "to the city and to the world" and it represents the joining between MinimalRome artists and 'foreign' producers. Two from the northern Europe in this case, a first attempt to create a serial partnership in sharing common passion for analogue electronic music with some of the protagonists in the so-called 'new wave of electro' scene.
Luke Eargoggle (Gothenburg)
Has made an icon of himself characterizing his productions with complex and asymmetric analogue patterns, planting dozens of flag (under various identities such Achilles, Bored Dudes Society, Dr Lindh, Elsewhere, Freezy Freeze, Karl Lindh, L. Lucàsa, Stalkers, Swayze Dub) on various labels such Bunker Records, KONDI, SCSI-AV, Kommando 6, Kentaurracing, Kone, Tsunami and Delta B Recordings. Collaborates with Legowelt and Rutherford respectively as Catnip and Monkeyshop.
From around 10 years he's also running a label of his own, Stilleben Records.

Ra-X (Tilburg)
His eerie, thick, smoky sounds are around since the early 90's, ranging from hard acid to electro/noise to break/experimental. He has released vinyls and cd's for Bunker Records, Kommando 6, Mighty Robots and KK Records, the seminal EBM/industrial label known for groups as Front Line Assembly, Controlled Bleeding, Vomito Negro and Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia, to name a few.
Just as Luke Eargoggle he runs his own label, Angelmaker Records.

Feedback (Roma)
Has started as a dj back in 1995 ¬within the Hard Raptus Project collective ¬ spreading the "Sound of Rome" from the underground radio ondarossa and acting as a compass for the roman illegal rave scene of the times.
Founder, together with Composite Profuse, of the MinimalRome label, his productions sound like a solid mix of nu electro and minimal techno.

Composite Profuse (Roma)
Born as a pair in 1999, Composite Profuse is now Valerio Lombardozzi (aka Vmr, just as Feedback he has begun making sounds with the Hard Raptus Project). Before the foundation of MinimalRome his tracks have been featured in several underground techno/electro compilations (Audio Resistance, AutoCD, SpaceLab 01 mode: electro) and soundtracks. Also two cult cd-r have been released by Composite Profuse, CP01 and CP02, that will be remastered and re-released on MR.
He takes part, together with MAS 2008 and others, in the latest Bunker Robot Dystopia series release, "Artist Anonymous" (Bunker 3057).

Kobol Electronics (Roma)
Also known as Andreas Herz, he has made appearances in the previous MR compilations (Broken Pots Hill vol.1 and 2, Finally). Musically born in the mid-90's within the "Sound of Rome", he has built in years an incredible setup, moving himself in the sound researching field. His music features a transoceanic mixture of submarine drexciyan tunes and 80's minimal/synth echoes in vintage production techniques.
C-34 (Costa Solfurea, Roma)
C-34 is a three-members band. Born in 2001, two years later they were building a brickwork in which they will install their own studio: a magma made of cables and cheap analogue gear. "Caimano Bianco" (white cayman) pays homage to "L'Imperatore di Roma" (The Emperor of Rome) ¬an 80's underground movie by Nico D'Alessandria citing the protagonist who screams (in Italian): "I'm the Caimano Bianco, the so-called son of a bitch, the most ferocious killer in New York!".
