With the Dethlab project, Shorb, Doyle, and Blunk seek to define "the new black" by connecting the dots between trends in music, fashion, design and culture: Mashing Ballardian reality with a romance for the glory days of postpunk as well as the cyberpunk future promised by Blade Runner. Like a modern day mashup of McLaren and Westwood, Dethlab are obsessive consumers, creators, and curators of all things dark, innovative, and beautiful -- often with tongue planted firmly in-cheek. In addition to a breakneck schedule of deejaying and event production, they are currently recording original music, have facilitated happenings such as Alice In Wonderland themed tea parties and period costumed croquet socials in abandoned factories, and have used nearly as much fake blood as Gwar. Shorb has performed her own circuit-bent instruments around the country as Toybreaker, and as a member of seminal noise band God and His Bitches. Shorb and Doyle both have collaborated closely with indie-electronic label Ghostly International on package design and merchandise development, and share the notion of "one foot in the gallery, one in the club." Blunk maintains rigorous solo live and deejay residencies in some of Detroit's most luxurious nightspots as well as back-alleyway speakeasies, dive bars, and illegal venues. The Dethlab-curated "Machines That Feel" series is the best example to date of their combined interests in art, music and social-commentary.

With an unusual name, Teutonic beats and aggressive sound, it is often assumed that Nitzer Ebb originated within the German techno scene, but the truth of the matter is that this trio hailed from the UK, Chelmsford in Essex to be precise. Formed in 1982 by school friends Douglas McCarthy [Lead vocals, guitar], Vaughn ‘Bon’ Harris [vocals, percussion, guitars] and David Gooday, [percussion], Nitzer Ebb were influenced by the harder sounds of the early techno pop scene, distilling elements from several other genres too until they had created their own identifiable sound, characterized by extremely powerful rhythms, minimal sequenced hook lines and fierce, chanted lyrics.
