Welcome to the Skin Mechanix Web Site
Ten years on...
SkInMeChaNIx is now 10 years old. Wow!
What began as a short lived but prolific collaboration in that far off summer of 1999 has survived against the odds and is still active today, working hard to create cutting edge electronica at a time when most of the UK scene seems content to do nothing more than emulate their heroes from times long gone.
Although most of their efforts are currently directed towards the highly successful Ion project, Skin Mechanix remain active and a new album with a bold, challenging direction are in the pipeline. From what we've heard, it sounds fantastic - the industrial edge of Depeche Mode and Gary Numan fused with the delicate sequencing sensibilities of those perennial Teutonic funsters Tangerine Dream. So not so much a radical departure, more of an evolution.
Explore the site, listen to the tunes and enjoy. You might not like everything you hear. You might not like anything at all. But linger anyway. We might just change your mind.
What the critics said...
"Takes the Berlin School approach by the scruff of the neck and practically reinvents it... delivered with confidence, passion and you really feel that there's a human heart beating away behind all this power and space..." Andy Garibaldi, CDS
"For those of you who miss the glory days of Mark Shreeve and Andy Pickford, this is what you need to be listening to right now. God dammit, this is good stuff!" (Scott Raymond, WKVR "Secret Music")
"High energy techno synths clash with slow, ambient, Eno-esque pianos. Mind-expanding retro-analogue textures - which are as much felt as they are heard - create a mesmerising blend of hypnotic mood music. Believe the hype. This is one special CD." SW, North East Spiritz
