Prosthetic focuses on volatile, left field techno that showcases talents from around the world.

Plaguing charts and their ever growing roster have helped to develop a relationship with Chicago's premier techno venue, Smart Bar, showing the support from this legendary city. Prosthetic is able to showcase their global roster and has now become home to the underground and its artistic vanguards within the electronic community.

Joseph McGeechan's new solo project iFormat has a darker, much more aggressive industrial feel. Heavily influenced by sinister horror movies and eerie sci-fi soundscapes, this set gives a disturbing sense of foreboding into McGeechan’s dystopian, post-punk exploration of the decay of society.

This chapter in Joseph's transformation is a live set called "Leaving The Lines Behind". This set is composed of personal productions showcased at Unseen @ Studio 24 (Edinburgh, SCO) on July 6th.

PERC TRAX 2012 US TOUR Opening set @ Norad (Denver, CO) on June 8th

Stephen Penders, aka Mick Finesse, has been djing and promoting in locations ranging from Tokyo to Boston since 1999. Now based in Denver, CO, Mick has become an integral part of the local techno community. Having hosted the very popular Dissonance / Resonance afterhours, in addition to regular appearances at Beta’s Beatport Lounge and various other local clubs, Mick has been all the while tempering his own interpretation of techno. Obsessed with themes of context and contrast, Mick Finesse attempts to peel away layers, perception and prejudice in both his namesake and his music.

Stephen's unique warm-up set at Freq Boutique (Denver, CO) is what ultimately caught Ali's attention, then he followed up soon after with a release on Perc Trax. This set shows just another angle through the mind of Mick Finesse...
