/// Who are Eros?
- Karl O'Connor is most certainly Regis and it is also highly probable that he propagates other pseudonyms. This has only added to the greater mythology surrounding the influential Downwards label that he has run with fellow art terrorist Peter Sutton (Female) since 1993. Unconventional and single-minded to say the least (what label can boast a back catalogue free of the industry standard cash cow remix) by decentralising the focus on the dj/producer personality, he remains one of the more highly regarded creative forces within the British techno/electronic scene. Degenerate art indeed.
- Boris Wilsdorf is a German producer, engineer, and founder of Berlin’s Andere Baustelle Tonstudio, known for his innovative recording techniques and decades-long work with Einstürzende Neubauten. His extensive portfolio includes collaborations with Die Toten Hosen, Alva Noto, and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, crafting immersive live and studio recording environments for an eclectic range of artists.
- Liam Andrews, a British-born, Copenhagen-based musician, is known for his work with industrial post-punk band MY DISCO and his solo project, AICHER, which reimagines feedback and percussion through generative software. He has performed at major festivals like Berlin Atonal and Dark Mofo and recently joined Montreal’s BIG | BRAVE as a permanent member after extensive touring.
