Rotterdam's Jochem Paap has had a production career with more twists and turns than an electric eel. From providing the beats and scratches for a local hip hop outfit in the late 80s (where the name 'Speedy J' stuck) to becoming a member of techno's hierarchy through gilt-edged dancefloor releases on Richie Hawtin's and John Acquaviva's Plus 8 and Warp to ripping the rule book to pieces via his jigsaw sound puzzles on novamute and subsequently returning to the floor once more for 2002's 'Loudboxer' opus and current 'Collabs' (2004) 12" co-productions, he has steadfastly furrowed his own path of sonic exploration.

As filmmaker, motion designer, and spatial reconstructionist, Scott Pagano creates moving image content utilizing shards of architecture, dysfunction, and futurism. With influences ranging from cinema to minimal painting, his work offers a re-envisioned perspective to the graphic stratas that saturate our visual perception. His meticulously constructed abstract artworks push the boundaries of audio-visual composition and process exploration using a dynamic mix of cinematographic and synthetic imagery. His music video and motion art work has been screened in venues ranging from international film festivals to MTV. He has worked with a wide range of notable musicians including BT, Christopher Willits, Funkstorung, Joan Jeanrenaud, Kid606, the Kronos Quartet, Twerk, Richard Devine, and Speedy J.
