The Flavors of Electronic Music in New Hampshire, part 3

We know bring our attention to the last of the electronica artists of New Hampshire.

Améthyste (myspace) is New Hampshire's most prominent "new age" artist. Her distinctive vocal style is very ambient and laid back, great for the romantic setting. She has several CDs and is currently working on a movie.

Old School House (myspace) has a style suitable for the dance floor. He calls it "classic", and it has flavors of house, electronica and trance.

Brendan Carey Block (myspace) is an electronica artist with an upbeat ambient style combined with virtuoso volin work. The result combines flavors of modern rock with folk. Definitely worth a listen.

Justin Dyer Project (myspace) tries hard to be invisible (at least his web page is), but his brand of electronica has more of a progressive rock style, and it's really well done. You can really read his page, but his music is worth a listen.


KID SOL-UM (myspace) is an industrial electronica artist. He's still working on his material.

Plymouth Murder Squad (myspace) is a rap artist with small electronica influences and quite a story teller.

If that's not your cup of tea, try HARDHOUSE GENERATION 2 (myspace), another pair of DJs making driving beats. It's got an industrial feel, with lots of samples. Also worth a listen. Quite possibly the only Electronica artist who understands marketing.

Atlantique (myspace) is one of several bands sung with Amethyste. This particular band plays healing ambient themes against melodic synthesized backdrops. If you like beautiful Electronica music, give this band a listen.

Joe Hemp / Didge Therapy ("myspace), I've already covered once, but since it is one of the most popular New Hampshire electronica bands, I'll mention it again. And as one of the few gigging electronica acts, you can go see them on June 9th, 2007 at 1:00P at
The Eye of the Hawk in Rye, New Hampshire. Their sound is exotic and unique. Definitely worth hearing.

Sublinear (myspace) layers choral and experimental sounds over lush soundscapes. It has a very ambient feel to it, though it is not as melodic as some other artists. Worth a Listen. I couldn't find a CD mention, though.

Josh Harris (myspace) is a DJ who can mix like the best of them. His work is great for the dance floor.

Cyndi Looper (myspace ) make more classic electronica/Trance music. And people like it.

Picnic Casket (myspace) is a one man electronica band with rock style. AJ's self-described style is "catchy and epic". It's got a great sound, you can hear live or just buy his CD.

And that's all the mentionable electronica style artists on myspace. There were others, but most of the others were pirated fan sites of artists from other states.

The Flavors of Electronica in New Hampshire, Part 1

New Hampshire has over 100 Electronica style bands.


When I think of Electronica, I don't expect there to be much in the way of vocals, but it turns out that a lot of MySpace artists use Electronica to indicate the synthesized sounds in their instrumentation.

There's quite a variety of sounds to be found, from metal to jazz. Most of these artists haven't gotten serious about their work enough to keep their pages up to date, produce an album and put it up for sale, or gig and tell.

N Holo K (myspace) has an electronica sound combining rock beats with strings, and he's got a demo album out by now. Unfortunately he hasn't updated his page in a long time, so we don't know how it turned out.

Felt Tip Pen (myspace) is an electronica group which combines elements of experimental sound, movie clips, against hip hop beats.

Ulysses Campbell (myspace) is a vocalist whose sound is more indie with electronica and psychedelic influences.

Courtney (myspace) performs with electrocab, below.

NESticular Trauma (myspace is unusual for New Hampshire electronica bands as he has clear metal influences which he deftly combines with NES sounds.

Electrocab (myspace) is a band with an experimental sound, combining elements of Jazz, unique sounds, and electronic organs.

JUSTICE 3000 (myspace) makes perfect msuci for Doctor Who episodes. He's still learning his craft.

travis bickle's mohawk...(myspace is an electronica artist who likes to play with loud sounds. Very experimental.


Spawn Campers (myspace) have a sound that emphasizes beat over melody. He's still working out his material.

Too Bad for You (myspace) is really an indie rock band with slight electronica influences. It's great for casual listening. Unfortunately they don't list any of their gigs and their real website is gone.

Sad Science (myspace) produces an electronica style mixed with electric guitar.

Yve (myspace is a singer songwriter in search of a band. Her sound has electronia influences. Her voice is well suited to the dark moody style she sings.

Greg (myspace produces rock with electronica influences.

Flapjack Muncher (myspace) plays a lot with sounds. It's very unique. He's doing it for fun.

DJ Stove(myspace) is a DJ who makes electronica beats suitable for the club scene. He seems pretty active in his music scene, involved with gigs as well as booking and promotion.

Svend (myspace) is completely different from most electronica artists. His piano work is quite elegant. You'll have to go to his main website to hear his other work, which is also quite nice. Very peaceful.


the evil genius (myspace) sound is more genius than evil, as his band name implies. His sound is ambience combined with just enough tension to make it interesting. He doesn't have an album out, but go have a listen anyway.

New Folder (myspace) is still working on his craft. He has some good ideas that would be better with better instruments. It's got a Super NES feel to it right now.

Jeff (myspace) is learning the craft. He's got better ideas than a number of other electronica artists I've heard. Good Luck, Jeff. But please change the picture; it really grates.

Andrew Greene (myspace) is really a Jazz artist with some electronica influences. But It's mostly Jazz.

El Hache 2 (myspace) is an ambient artist with an rock sound. It would make a decent backdrop for movies.

Phenix (myspace has an ambient sound that has a slight jazz feel to it combined with electric guitars. He's still working on his material.

Josh Byra (myspace) was more of an indie singer, but now he's part of Icelab, a group with a more elctronica/Trance sound. And he was the first artist who actually seems to gig and mentions shows you can go to. Amazing.

Soul Forge (myspace) is a DJ who remixes "non-lyrical songs". He's probably out DJing somewhere, he's just not telling us where.

Volden (myspace) has a sound that is very different from most electronica artists. Instead of going for the ambient or dance feel, he has a metal sound. He's still working on his material.


Big Boy Productions (myspace is an artist who is making beats using an electronic/ hip hop style. Very easy to rap/sing over. He's still working on his material.

The National Institute of Mental Health (myspace) is an electronic band that has been around a while. They are no longer together and have moved on to other things. But their music has a hypnotic ambient feel to it.

The Jitsu Brothers (myspace) were pretty ambitious and went ahead and created an album without doing local market research. Sadly for them, the market didn't bite. Perhaps it wasn't electronica thatdidn't sell, but rather their particular brand of it didn't fit in in their circle.

The Mobius Strip (myspace) combines the sound of electric guitars against a hypnotic beat. They only have 1 song.

Flavors of the Revolution (myspace) is a band with a laid back, experimental sound. They are still working on their album.

DJ Duquette (myspace) is a DJ who remixes Dance tracks, and the results are definitely dance worthy.

Afternoon (myspace) is more of a rock band with Electronica influences. He's still working on his material and production technique.

DJ Chill (myspace is a DJ; he takes familiar songs and remixes them. His style is more Electronica/Dance and seems a good fit for the clubs. He doesn't list where he DJs though, too bad.
