"Straight out of the gate with this fresh two track assault from the excellent marine kulture. limited to 100 and hand numbered. think human league, joy division and all sorts of electronic goodness. rough trade 20/07/2010"



It’s late june, and summer is actually happening this time around... an emerging london band, Marine Kulture are embarking on a string of live gigs in the sweltering capital, to refresh the current music scene with their aquatic electro rhythms… deep engaging electronic rock fused dance music for these times of austerity…independence is a necessity and has been at the formation of the group’s live and recording output,…

The latest installment of the Marine Kulture catalogue, a limited edition 7 inch single and download of two new tracks from their forthcoming album.. UNFOLDING, “could of cried and mirrors” are a glimpse into the future of London’s electro scene, released on the groups own my Veto record label…A download can be found at a variety of sites such as itunes spotify, amazon and juno… check their myspace page (marinekulture) for a full list…… there is also a cutting edge video up on youtube for the song mirrors shot by the bands bassist Marcelo Borges..

The group began as a solo project for dj and independent London producer Mark Costello. This is not labtop based production, he works only with hardware and builds tracks through synths that recall an earlier period of electronic music that is being rapidly forgotten.. after a few self released albums he decided that it was time to step up to a different level of the project… After meeting up with filmmaker/photographer Marcelo Borges in Brazil, who started playing bass guitar in the group to expand the low end of the music, Marine Kulture started to evolve, and with the addition of Marina Bulgareli on backing vocals and percussion the band transformed to the next stage of electro deepness… with more exciting live gigs and more new music to follow, this band continues to take it’s rightful place in the world of independent dance music and sets to challenge the slowly dying major label music business.. Marine Kulture started sets sail for further adventures in this new world, and should be seen live to appreciate where this band is heading…

London, June 2010.
