Edge Of Infinity
Edge of Infinity is an assortment of old Japanese drum machines and synthesizers huddled together in a mystery location on a Sheffield council estate and operated by tunesmiths Matt and Paul. Inspired by the sounds, nay, masterpieces of electronic music from Detroit and Chicago that lit up the clubs of Sheffield, Nottingham and Manchester in the late 80's and early 90's, the pair bought their first keyboard in 1990, only to find that it didn't work. After this minor setback, the tunesters gave up on their musical ambitions to persue a life of poverty and despair. However, in 2006, the pair realised that their dreams were going unfulfilled, and so, ten years worth of dust was lovingly chiselled off the old synthesizers and drum machines. The trusty Japanese boxes that had stood cold since 1996 came back to life, and the spirit of tunefulness flowed again through the pair's veins, and drum patterns of old and new buzzed around their brains. They haven't looked back since, and Paul has still not read the 'Korg M1 synthesizer operator's manual'. Feel free to get in touch if you like anything you hear, or would perhaps like to encourage Paul to read that operator's manual, and keep dropping by - I will shuffle the tunes around from time to time. All the best, Matt, Edge of Infinity.

Franco Cangelli
Born and raised in Gent, Belgium with a pair of firm Italian roots. Spent his childhood dreaming of interstellar voyage, alien invasion and skies filled with colony spaceships… side effects of a daily overdose of television-infused sci-fi images.
He first came in contact with electronic music in his childhood, right in the middle of the breakdance craze, backspinnin', body poppin', to the electro boogie of Grandmaster Flash, Africa Bambaataa, Jonzun Crew... Needless to say, he got infected by the electro bug at an early age.
By the end of the 80's, Belgium came under the New Beat spell, which opened up an entirely new world, directly followed by the first insidious acid tunes. Franco has always been influenced by the more atmospheric, either moody or darker tunes. So when Detroit techno arrived at the scene, his mind completely absorbed the deeper techno vibes from artists like Carl Craig, Juan Atkins, Dan Curtin... But it didn't stop there. AFX, Autechre and other seminal artists who pushed the envelope even more, irrevocably shaped his mind to the more experimental side of electronic music, coming from labels like Warp, Skam, Rephlex...
All of these influences define what Franco Cangelli is musically all about. His djing skills and production work cover different styles to satisfy his incessant need for further musical exploration.
