Jonathan Kingsley Seilman is a French musician, arranger and producer from Nantes. For me he is unknown for his previous projects, This Melodramatic Sauna, and its collaborations with The Patriotic Sunday, but is known through Birds Are Alive and Sieur & Dame. He now back to himself with a new project, LE FEU, in collaboration with My Name Is Nobody, Binidu and Fordamage members. The most simple phrase is: indie pop, but it came Mick Harvey to my mind. Well, it’s not a simple case.

„Beta Frontiers is the soundtrack to a near-future physical video game where your shoes are hovercrafts and you actually make it to all the parties in one night.

Electronic band Borghesia was formed by members of an alternative theater group in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia (today Slovenia) in 1982. In the early times their music was influenced by new wave, electro-pop, disco and EBM. Then they took a more EBM direction. Their records were released by influential, then industrial and EBM specialist Play It Again Sam Records. Borghesia stop its activities around 1995 and came back in 2009. As a theatrical multi-media project, and also musically they show some similarities with Laibach. And vice versa.
