So we had a DJ set last Tuesday and it was a blast! The question is, will we ever finish our new material or will we just start creating electronic music instead?

[ SEBASTIAN "ROSS ROSS ROSS" ]

[ SPACE "MAGIC FLY" ]

I speculate that after a few more generations a trend will truly exist to be brandless or at least less-branded.

New record?

FM has not disappeared - the projekt has merely been in hibernation and now with our main musical projects starting to relax for a moment we are beginning to contemplate the songs that were recorded over the last year. Edits and reworkings to happen soon... Bzzzzz... [>_<]
