Kharkov (John Bartley) is an electronic artist from Melbourne Australia. This nom de plume arose in 2005 with his first release, ‘Something Tangible’, on the artist run label, Brother Sister Records. In 2007 John released his second live instrumental offering ‘Guzheng’ and 2009 has seen Kharkov’s latest release ‘Glitch/Space’, a seven inch pressed at Peter Kings DIY plant in New Zealand. This release marks a return to his interests in early minimal techno and ambient music.
