Drugbeat are Motor, but with vocals. Motor are Bryan Black and Olivier Grasset.
Black is originally from Minneapolis and has worked with Prince. Frenchman Grasset is said to be a world-class drummer. They are also the band Xlovers. They are doing  a Throbbing Gristle remix for Mute, a little record on Novamute, and right now they’re working on a Marilyn Manson remix with Felix da Housecat – a remix of Manson’s remix of “Personal Jesus“. You could add a few more examples of their likely glory, but for Musick, Drugbeat put the blueprint for this industrial, sugar-coated electro basher straight to vinyl.
 
Zurich-based Uese (Urs Jeitsch), the would-be drummer of a hardcore band, is producing electronic music instead - and he’s not the only one. “Cucuzza” is a longish pumpkin plant. In this case it’s fodder for the high-speed rack-railway with side-rods und Samba wagons, for a journey into the grey zone on twisted tracks with juicy tunnel inserts.

Holz sands this splinter of saw-tooth techno and gets an A+ in woodwork class. The guys at the back will not get away unpunished – with at least two lunch-breaks of being locked in the girls’ bathroom.

President Ido is a promoter from Osaka, 23 years old and a mighty good DJ. The boss says Cutie Kantie is his girlfriend. “Miss Orange” sounds like a mixture of 8doogymoto and Mouse on Mars, but who knows – maybe Ido is also the Pres of the Japanese ghetto-tech fraction - and naturally they cook up their very own rice’n’shit variation.
