Silicon Scally aka Carl Finlow is pure electro, guaranteed to rock any dancefloor!

He has also achieved global recognition for producing under his other pseudonyms: Random Factor, Voicestealer, IL-EC-TRO, Circle City, and simply Carl A Finlow. Under these guises he has released music on the finest electronic labels in the world: Warp, Fuel, Playhouse, Paper, Trope, Klang, Soma, Pagan, Minifunk and Scsi. He also combined with Ralph Lawson on all the 2020Vision remixes, including the now classic Blaze mixes and productions for Fatboy Slim, Jamiroquai, Blaze, Swag, Jori Hulkonnen, Felix da Housecat, Swayzak, Josh Wink, Luke Slater, and Superman Lovers.

All in all, through a decade of pioneering work in electronic music he has gained the respect of the most highly esteemed musicians in the world, including: Radiohead, Herbert, Richie Hawtin, Francois Kevorkian, Derrick Carter, Andrew Weatherall, Josh Wink and Luke Slater. Maybe it is the fact that Carl is more influenced by classic artists rather than contemporary that he sets his standards so high. He cites Tomita, The White Noise, Yello, Prince, and Depeche Mode before going further back in time to experimental godfathers Stockhausen, Varese and Raymond Scott as his source of inspiration.

Carl has developed a superb live set using the latest software technology (Ableton Live 3 and Traktor) to takes his sounds on the road as Random Factor or Silicon Scally. He has performed at the most important festivals and clubs across the globe including: La Villette with Kraftwerk (Paris 02), Sonar (Barcelona 2K), Safety In Numbers (NYC), Fabric (London), Sub Club (Glasgow), Batofar (Paris), WMF (Berlin), Womb (Tokyo), and Storm The CPU (LA). He has also toured Japan, The States three times and Europe extensively.


Spinks is a producer and DJ who has previously released on Doxa Records and Ak Duck as Dex Turner. His aggressive, genre-bending take on electro and breaks can be heard on the first two releases on Buffalo Frequency, and more is yet to come...
