 One third of Austrian band of brothers 'Winterstrand', Simon/Off joins the Plainaudio Electronic music roster. Starting spinning Breaks and D&B back in 1998 he soon moved on exploring different terrains of IDM, Minimal and Breakcore also productionwise. At the same time he began to organize and promote events in and around Graz and contributed building up the local music scene. His first solo 12" appeared in 2005 on 'Houseverbot' records followed by an album featuring his brothers on netlabel 'Kikapu' records. Thus, getting in contact with a steadily growing netlabel scene, he not only became a 'netaudio hunter', as he puts it, but also took the next step releasing more of his music in digital format on labels like 'Miga' as well as a netaudio-only-mix on German 'Mixotic' imprint. For this year, there's even more in the pipeline: 'In 2007 I´m going to release more of my solo stuff which is currently kind of electroid deep / dubby danceable Breakbeat as well as two albums by Winterstrand', he reveals. When he wasn't locked in the studio, Simon/Off performed at international festivals and venues alongside with names like Super Collider, Plaid and DJ/Rupture as well as D&B honchos Zinc, LTJ Bukem or Flight not to mention Nightmares on Wax, Christian Vogel and helluva lot more...and he still does - so make sure you not only get your hands on the finished product(s) but also see the man twist some knobs sometime.
