Valium Era

After initial experimentation with music software, phiL founded the project 'Valium Era' in 2006. The first reasonable results were self-distributed on home-burned cd's and partly published on myspace in the end of that year. The received response was mostly positive, so phiL diligently continued pushing his virtual buttons. After a change of instruments and a creative break, which lasted till the beginning of 2008, four free downloadable EP's have been released. Each of them is dedicated to a separate genre from technoid sounds to rhythmic noise. At the end of last year the first album was published as a limited edition. From this album Valium Era brought out the single 'Tanz im Kopf' in january 2009, including different versions and a remix of the song. The second album 'Mutation' is available since October 2009. As the album title indicates, the sound developed a lot, but remains as danceable as always and distinguishes Valium Era from many others in the genre by the typical humorous voice samples. Also in 2009, Orkus Magazine took notice of the "original" music style and published a (review) about VE as well as a song on their Compilation. Other well known Complilations, like Extreme Sündenfall or Aderlass, including Valium Era Songs can be found in the (media) section.
