John Gosling (born 1963), better known as Mekon is a British big beat musician and electronica producer.

Before they perfected the electronica-meets-tango sound of the Gotan Project, Paris musicians Philippe Cohen Solal and Christoph H. Mueller worked together in the Boys from Brazil and Stereo Action Unlimited as early as 1996. Releasing their music on Solal's Ya Basta label, the two quickly caught the ears of Jazzanova, Gilles Peterson, Mr. Scruff, and other electronica tastemakers, while Coca-Cola picked a Boys from Brazil track for a European television commercial. Despite all the success, the duo wanted a project that had a more consistent mood. Feeling that both tango and dub had a subdued and melancholic sound, they decided to combine the genres. With the addition of Eduardo Makaroff in 1999, they formed the Gotan Project and released their first of four 10"s on Ya Basta in February 2000. The band had drummed up quite a buzz in the U.K. and European press, and soon XL Recordings snagged the group. XL issued their full-length debut, La Revancha del Tango, in 2001, and the self-proclaimed "top Argentinian musicians exiled in Paris" toured to support the album, with guest musicians and a video backdrop by multimedia artist Prisca Lobjoy. Lunatico, from 2006, was named after tango legend Carlos Gardel's champion racehorse. Tango 3.0 appeared in 2010.

Danish / American duo Sepiamusic bring a new level of electronic rock drive to their distinct feminine/masculine universe on "Trenches", marking the band's first official American debut and second full album out on Los Angeles-based label, Quango. The 12-track release is described by the band's producer-half, Michael Adler Miltersen: "We wanted to write songs about the a journey of human nature with songs ranging in subjects from intitmacy and vulnerability, joy and hope, despair and longing, sex and bravery." Regarding the title of "Trenches", the band's lead singer, Erin Chapman adds, "To us, the meaning of 'trenches' was the idea of the spaces in between - small cracks and refuges from big emotions, but places that one must eventually leave to face battlefields of reality. When we finally collected all the songs that we knew we wanted to include on the album we had this array of emotions - dark and light - so we wanted to find a theme that encompassed this idea."

Debut album written and produced by Sepiamusic. This independent release of electronic-acoustic rock features the sultry, candid vocals of singer Erin Chapman and intense song writing of producer Michael Adler Miltersen.
