PORT ROYAL
Port-Royal is a band formed in Genoa, Italy, in 2000. The founding members were Attilio Bruzzone and, life-long friend, Ettore Di Roberto. They decided to start a band after they realized that they shared similar taste in music and bands like Joy Division and Mogwai.
They play a dreamy, heady, melancholic, wide music on the border among electronica, ambient, shoegaze with some dance elements even if they are ‘Afraid To Dance’. The music is mixed with the sensual images and shots of Diamantakos.
After releasing officially as singles another 2 remixes of acts such as Ladytron and Felix Da Housecat, their brand new album “Dying In Time” is waiting to be released on October 5th worldwide.

MANDELBROT
After the release of 2006's 'All Our Actions Are Constantly Repeated', the original lineup of the band slowly dissolved as each pulled in their own direction. Amidst the changes, Keung found himself focussing more on exploring further the array of 9v devices his guitar was being channelled through, and the tracks on the recently released album "Effect / Delay" slowly came about during that summer.
Each of the four movements recorded were captured in one take - 2 hands, 6 strings, 18 pedals, and no overdubs, creating a massive pulsing noise that resonates between harmony and dischord. Combining influences from David Pajo's seminal 'Papa M' project, to the density of Sunn O))'s bowel shaking sound, yet processed and shaped into the syntax and language of something altogether more electronic sounding.
Keung is currently playing live with drummer Daniel Price, further shaping the sound and guitar manipulations into a hybrid of the full band and the more experimental moments and song structures of Mandelbrot (Keung's solo project).
