Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating outside of his work with Atari Teenage Riot, the Berlin-based provocateur single-handedly forged the chaotic framework of the breakcore genre. The release violently splices the insanely high BPMs of gabber techno with completely erratic, heavily distorted jungle breakbeats. The resulting auditory assault is a landmark of incredibly aggressive, politically charged electronic noise.
