Following on from the critically acclaimed debut full length, Before We Vanish, Trade Secrets is back with These Other Lives. Trade Secrets is a future synth collective founded by machine rock veteran F. J. DeSanto (Hypefactor, the aggression). Initially conceived as a producing/remixing team with John Glenn Kunkel, the auteur behind Los Angeles synth superstars The New Division, the Trade Secrets roster has expanded to include DeSanto's longtime aggression and Hypefactor collaborators Mike "Ash" Venezia (Baye, 4th level) and multi-instrumentalist Charles LaBarbara. The four wrote and produced the record while Venezia brings his years of electronic music expertise to the mixing desk. The songs reflect the team's wide range of musical influences, spanning from synthpop to cinematic instrumentals and everything in between including but not limited to synth-wave. DeSanto also spent the last few years as the showrunner on the Transformers: War For Cybertron Trilogy for Netflix and has contributed to the high profile Electronic Saviors releases
