...
This 20 year old male is from Hot Springs, Ark. Although, in a very small town, he brings big acceptance to himself globaly. Fans ranging from Germany, to Brazil, Japan and Canada, slowly but surely he makes himself a known name in the undergound electronic scene. (With many thanks to his fans/listeners)
Steven is currently working on two different projects: ACKOD and Peek He's preparing for his first full length CD: Peek, (Peek: Steven's electronic dance project. Hitting such genres as House, Jungle, Gabber, DnB, Rave, and IDM.) And his first solo EP: ACKOD - Digital Gush.
...........................................REVIEWS!.........................................
"ACKOD's ultra minimalist electro industrial is gothy
and utterly moody.
One can just envision the grim
furrowed brow of the vocalist as he Teutonically
shares his bleak visions in electrosong with the
world. Blending dark, spartan electronic structures
driven by utilitarian goa-industrial beats (think
the minimal quality of Latex Empire),
gothic melody and ultra-serious vocals,
ACKOD comes off with a sound
that sounds like Germanic or Scandinavian
electro-industrial, only stripped down to teflon
leanness. While the music is minimalist, it does
conjure a healthy dark atmosphere and I can't say
that I've heard just a ton of industrial bands taking
this approach. It's almost as if they deliberately
eschewed the uberthick distortion of Decoded Feedback,
Frontline Assembly, Haujobb or someone like that,
opting instead for spacious but hard as steel
pulsations." - upchuck_undergrind

*BAND NAME: A Certain Kind Of Different
*ARTIST NAME: Steven Fernandez
*SONG TITLE: All My Love
'All My Love' touches the dark seductive side of trip-hop, adding spices of hot dancey electro sounds and playful goth elements. A dark digital song, made to make the digital girls gush. A "Must Hear" for all lovers of dark electronic. To make things better the tranquilizing vox add a sexy appeal in a dark and twisted sense. - digital girl / http://www.myspace.com/darkdigitalgrl
This artist contributes hugely to the underground goth/electronic scene. Beautiful, sultry vocals spice up the catchy, teen-age lyrics. The minimalist sounds, are mixed with dark synths, up-beat vibes and abstract throw-ins, blended delicately precisely, to a beautiful atmospheric realm. -girl loves deadgirl (from hellwire)
