Crossroads Ego is Marco Bakker (°31 December 1980) from Tremelo, Belgium. Marco started to create electronic music from the moment he discovered his computer should be used for making sound, not homework. Over the years his tracks evolved from cheesy techno beats to experimental, minimalist ambient music. Discovering the Belgian label u-cover and its artists was a milestone in this evolution. Crossroads Ego’s music can be described as isolate, serene and hypnotizing.

IJO is audrius vaitiekunas from klaipeda, lithuania. ijo is most well known for his energetic, drill and bass music that fuses together pop aesthetics, avant-garde noise with jazz-inspired, lyrical synth melodies: "...my music is based on my mood. I am really unstable - I like creating ambient music and I like to create chaos. I don't like to be restrained to just one musical direction because I want to be versatile in music. It has to be interesting and emotional”. Ijo has release music on several netlabels - surfaces, sutemos and plainaudio – as well as a 3" cdr on envizage records. his appearance on duckbay marks a departure for ijo stylistically, and a chance to hear some of his ambient experimentations.

offthesky As a visual artist, offthesky is constantly viewing the world around him with every sensual node of his brain tuned in. Having a keen eye for the correlation between sight and sound, he translates the clockwork motion of city life into adept musical contraptions as well as video production which he scores the music for as well. He best describes the uncanny texture and ear-soothing melodies emanating from his studio as a complex translation of the amassed emotions and visual intake from urban energies. Perhaps practicing his own hybrid form of solipsism and science, he generates his subjective image of reality into a complex yet entertaining movement of beats, texture, and melodies with a depth that can only be truly grasped by the likes of a very powerful microscope: the human heart.
Jason has also spent several years collaborating with artists such as Pheek (Social System project), Opium, Danny Kreutzfeldt, and others. Several Canadian and European tours have lent him the opportunities to perform live at prestigious events such as Montreal’s Mutek, Amsterdam’s Toon (pronounced ‘tone’) festival, as well as Belgium’s City Sonics festival. His current label affiliation are 12k (NYC), Databloem (Ne), & Stilll (Be).

segue is Jordan Sauer from Vancouver, Canada, currently residing in Washington D.C.. His sound is s minimslist patchwork of textures and tones with a focus on the interplay of timbre. These sounds are created through the blending of various instruments (12-string acoustic and electric guitar, piano, violin, melodica, various percussive drums and instruments, didgeridoo, childrens toys), incidental found sounds and field recordings. Jordan has numerous releases on netlabels such as Autoplate (Thinner), Kyoto_digital, Silent Season and his own db, which he co-manages with shane wilson. Much of this material is based on ambient/dub/glitch soundscapes. Being a lover of all music, his approach to music/sound composition is constantly evolving. Future projects may include, but are not limited to: melodica drone, acapella experiments, ukulele/island/psychedelic/folk, dub rhythm experimentation and/or more of the same.
