RELEASES:
BIO:
During 2010 the band started as a solo project by songwriter Mike Evans (at the time, guitarist of alt-metal band Broken Butterfly X). Mike began experimenting with electronics and laying down vocals himself resulting in the debut EP 'Module 01' which featured one of the band's most successful tracks - the emotional and trance-inspired 'Breathe'.
This led to the signing with UK label, Static Distortion Records, becoming one of the first bands on the roster. Subsequently, the sophomore EP 'Module 02' which was released in Summer 2012. The EP told a very personal story, each song representing a chapter relating to some big events in Mike's personal life around that time. 'Module 02' produced the standout song (and video) "This Is Not Goodbye" - once again showcasing passionate vocals, addictive synth hooks and a new aggressive element.
In late 2012, the band switched from solo endeavour to full on band. Lee Towson joined on guitar, bringing his unique style and take to the strings. No stranger to MiXE1, Lee had already appeared in the music video for 'This Is Not Goodbye' and also produced the lyric video 'A Spark In The Air' (a song released for free to celebrate signing to SDR). Lee O'Brien (formerly of Indie-Rock band Load"") joined the mix on drums - adding a fresh energy, technique and dynamics to the rhythm section. Finally talented musician Marcos Farias joined as the live bassist - rumbling the stage at the live shows.
Now, in 2013, the group are set to release their first effort as a band the "Lights Out" EP - featuring revamped songs penned inbetween the first two EP's but given the full band treatment. And the debut album "Starlit Skin" currently being mixed for a predicted release before the end of the year.

What is 'Love'?
WHAT IS LOVE? (BABY DON'T HURT ME)
Don’t worry this isn’t going to be some mushy monologue about romance and whatnot.
So it is that most divisive of days
on the calendar…
ST VALENTINES DAY!
Regardless of your position on the validity of such a day, lets talk about love.
ST VALENTINES DAY!
Regardless of your position on the validity of such a day, lets talk about love.
Don’t worry this isn’t going to be some mushy monologue about romance and whatnot.
Instead, lets talk about music and
the love of it.
I have been in love with music since I was probably about 14 years old when I bought ‘Smash’ by the Offspring and it blew my mind, it was so different to what I had grown up with, or heard on the radio…It spoke to my teen angst in a way that I believe changed me significantly.
MANY YEARS LATER: Whilst my tastes have changed, music remains a driving force in my life, playing a massive part in my personal and professional life…as a music fan, musician and Label owner.

MANY YEARS LATER: Whilst my tastes have changed, music remains a driving force in my life, playing a massive part in my personal and professional life…as a music fan, musician and Label owner.
But why do we do it? Why do we spend
so much of our money on a collection of structured sound waves, either
collecting them or making them?
As any musician will tell you, its
not to get rich…that is a 1 in a million shot.
Is it for fame?
I don’t think so; there are easier
ways to get famous and certainly cheaper/easier ones.
Why does that kid sit in his room practicing
guitar licks for 4 hours a day? Why does that 30 something guy keep getting in
that van and playing shitty pub gigs to 20 people? Why does that couple spend
every penny they earn to follow their favourite artist around the country on
their tour?
I wish I could tell you but I am as
bamboozled as to the significance of music as anyone, but I will say one thing…I
am glad I have it in my life!
I would love to hear about your stories and your relationship with music, so please comment and let me know!!!
For those of you that are fans of valentines and are looking to spend the evening with your special one, here is the awesome track ‘A Spark In The Air’ by MiXE1:
For those that would rather the whole thing just went away and shut up, here is ‘Parasite’ by Defeat:
PS. Message to the Missus, happy valentine’s day Kathy ;)

Coming up...
Just wanted to post a quick update about what we have in store for you patient people out there ;)
OCT - Approx release date for Digital Deformations Single/EP release of 'Command Unit' which will feature some surprises in the B-Sides, this is not to be missed, and will help to reinforce Digital Deformation at the cutting edge of the UK Industrial scene!
NOV/DEC - Approx release date for 'Module 02' by MiXE1. An eagerly anticipated release to follow up on the excellent Module 01, which is available to stream to the left of this post. Taking a more personal perspective, MiXE1 will open up for the listeners in ways they hadn't dared imagine before.
LATE 2011 - Ghost In The Static are set to release a remix EP featuring remixes from some of the hottest artists around the Electronic scene based on two tracks from the forthcoming album. So not only will this be a fascinating insight into the different approaches of some great UK Industrial acts, it will also allow a preview of some new music!
EARLY 2012 - Ghost In The Static are aiming to release their follow up to 'The Open Eyed Dreamer Part I', which is yet to be named, but is very much underway. It will be following a darker, more aggressive path than the debut and will be looking to establish Ghost In The Static as THE Industrial Rock band in the UK.
There is some more news to come, but for now you will have to wait ;)
