Endif

Description: Endif draws upon a broad spectrum of experiences and influences and distills them into original sonic compositions incorporating a syncrete of styles and techniques with a mind altering rhythmic bent and a fierce uncompromising aesthetic. Emphasis is placed more upon energy, emotion, context and texture than on stale commercial formulas, towering arrangements or catchy pop hooks. The net result has dragged this one-time studio project out of the shadows and into the conciousness of hard-electronic enthusiasts across the planet. Activity: Releases: Endif signed to US label Crunch Pod in August '06 to release the projects first full length CD, titled 'META'.
