Compiled by the artists themselves, And You Will Find Them In The
Basement is a great overview of modern synth wave tracks from the London
underground. He’s the best one to introduce this compilation :

« My move to London from Vancouver in late 2007 was followed by a
period of shock and re-adjustment. When that dust settled, I then
climbed back in the saddle, on the prowl for signs of places where
things of interest might be happening — music mainly. I eventually found
myself under murky lights in cramped bars and clubs in East London,
when Shoreditch was arguably at the height of its popularity. Often
having to walk downstairs from the main bar, it was in these tucked away
spaces that I unearthed a number of nights going on, generally falling
into the vague synth, post-punk and “wave” scene — a general grouping of
styles I found myself somewhat aligned to.


The majority of the players on this compilation met after converging
in such places. Over the years these rituals took a number of different
names: Brave Exhibitions, Reeperbahn, Decasia, The Liberty Snake,
Endurance, Deus Ex Machina, Future Brain, Future Obscura and Never Come
Back, etc.

In those places we found ourselves dancing to the same tracks and
then striking up conversations over a drink in the cramped outdoor
smoking areas. It came to be that we all had similar interests and
motives, and at times the ability to finish off one another’s jokes.


Each of us had our hand in some sort of creative activity or another;
music, film, fashion, what have you. As time went by, this loose group
of individuals one by one became more active with the music they had set
out to make. As the physical locations of these clubs we frequented
migrated from Shoreditch north to even dodgier venues up in Dalston and
Stoke Newington, we often found ourselves putting on each other’s bands
and pulling from the same general pool for some hands to spin records in
between performances.


After a few smoke pit conversations, there was a natural motion to go
ahead and document some of these electronic sounds blasting out of the
decibel-controlled basements of Hackney and Dalston. Inspired by classic
compilations such as Flex Your Head and No New York, we felt a
compilation of this music was the best way to get “something” out there.
A number of meetings in drab pubs kick-started the process of getting
something together, followed by a series of wordy and confusing emails,
and then ultimately a more streamlined online forum. The results were
passed on to a few outside parties and here we are! A 12” LP on Desire
Records (an obvious thanks to Jérôme Mestre for that).


All of the artists on this compilation are based within the general
madness that is London, with two exceptions: Gertrud Stein splits her
time between London and Germany, and although Lebanon Hanover haven’t
lived in London, we gave them an invite as they know most of us on this
compilation and are considered part of the “scene”.
