London's ‘four-track noisecore/electro/synthwave’ trio Factory Floor is hot! They only allow themselves to be spotted on billings they 100% approve of. Sometimes that is aside The Vaccines or director Chris Cunningham, other times it's at the side of none less than Portishead. In ’11, they even opted for a show in AB!

Factory Floor uses vintage keyboards dosed with equally old synthezisers, tape-echos and hellish drum sets. Think: Joy Division or Kraftwerk on speed, with a voice that reminds one of Nico. Britain's NME then placed them between ‘Hidden’ by These New Puritans and ‘Sisterworld’ by Liars.

Throw in Lcd Soundsystem and Health on top of that and you're getting a pretty close comparison.

This year finally sees the release of their long-awaited, hot debut album. Expectations are extremely high. Want to bet they meet them

“I would have re-mortgaged my soul to get this music out there”. That's what a journalist from influential British muziekblog The Quietus wrote when he heard a number of demo’s by East Indian Youth. The result was the birth of both Quietus Phonographic Corporation and the release of the ‘Hostel EP’, on which you can hear a perfect marriage of bedroom-pop, krautrock and techno. Wonderful when words become actions.
