Just another great find while cruising through iTunes Music Store. Spektrum is definitely different.
Spektrum's style and sound is combination of techno, funk and experimental beats. There is a hint of house music and a little bit of hip hop in some of Spektrum's tracks. I love bands that incorporate many different styles of electronic music.

..................Videos.................
Spektrum hails from the London, United Kingdom. Members are Gabriel Olegavich, Issac Tucker, Teia Williams and Lola Loafasoye.
Gabriel Olegavich grew up in East London, where he started to play in a band at the very young age of 10. At University, Gabriel studied electroacoustics (wow, that is a mouthful) and later developed an interest in manipulating sound and contemporary music.
Issac Tucker grew up in New Zealand in a secluded "hippy commune" that used alternative methods of education. From this "out of the ordinary" childhood, Issac showed many talents in music and enjoyed playing with his musician father. With a great interest in music, Issac can play a wide arrange of music styles from orchestra to punk. He has even studied African and Brazilian percussion.
Another New Zealander, Teia Williams, was born into a Maori family where music was a great part of their family history and tradition. Teia showed early talent in bass, and soon began his musical career playing in a country music band. The early 1990's attracted Teia to rock music and the newly emerging grunge scene. Teia Williams soon met Issac Tucker where they worked together as a rhythm section.
Lead vocalist, Lola Loafasoye, was born in north London. From early age, Lola was determined to be a singer. She gained early employment as a dancer in acid jazz club, Club Bluenote, located in Hoxton Square in London. Lola has a very unique voice that has been likened to Bette Davis, Grace Jones and Nina Hagen. Known for speaking her mind, Lola lyrics are often uninhibited, and very raw. She has a very interesting voice.
Spektrum can be found on the iTunes Music Store.
Top singles include Don't Be Shy (get the original version), Horny Pony, May Day and Kinda New.
PizzaBabe, I think you will really love Spektrum's Don't Be Shy video. I thought of you right away when I viewed it for the first time. Reminds me a little of Marpesia.
