T.M. Stevens      

T.M. Stevens calls his music Heavy Metal Funk, which is the blend of his roots music. Here is the quotation from his liner notes for the album "BOOM", about H.M.F.:

„Some of the songs on the CD lean a bit more on the melodic, funky side and others are angry and heavier sounding. The important is that all of the songs came from my heart, guts and roots. From the early days of Delta Blues with the likes of Blind Lemon and Lead Belly, to the very beginnings of modern day Rock'n'Roll , which was carved and invented by the likes of Chuck Berry and Little Richard, are indeed part of my roots.

Lotus Beat      

Phaeder is a long-time Buddhist with a profound mastery of deep voice chanting. Over the past five years, and much to the amusement of the Buddhist Lamas, he has married this with his German electronic roots. The result is outstanding. He fires up the world music scene, complimenting his bass tonal deep voice singing with strong, chant-based pop structure, Peter developed the LOTUS Beat compilation series inviting world music artists Joshna La Trobe and EastTranzWest to participate. He has worked with New Zealand’s top performance artists to wide acclaim. Not just a prolific instrumentalist, his love of technology - he is also a computer engineer - embed him happily in the trance, down beat, dance, techno and drum & bass styles of electronic music. He’s versed in flamenco & jazz and attended the renowned Performance Arts School in Kassel, Germany.
