Socket Science

Dance
A.k.a. Don Simon

SS is AB co-honcho Don Simon's outfit for tweaking pop music. SS turns failures into original features. Cooks unintentional hodge podge soup. Serves it with steady beats and makes you dance at home alone. You can label it robot music with soul. Socket Science has taken the step from electro pop to pop electro via disco, techno, indie, musique concrête, electronica and distorted flutes - and brings it all together. This collection of sounds and beats was one of the major reasons for starting up Astor Bell and the debut EP 'Pulver Stunts' summarizes these years of evolvement. Since then Socket Science has moved towards slightly darker territories. The follow up 'Ephedra' shows a more techno oriented side. Slower but at the same time more suitable for club rotation. The next output is likely to follow the same path, but with such a wide range of influences noone can be sure of what the future will bring.
