Rather than hear what I have to say about the one & only

KING CANNIBAL (Ninja Tune, UK),

I will let people far more important than me do the talking:

“..a great tune…put together like a dj’s wet dream.”- Amon Tobin writing about Aragami Style for Urb

“seriously heavy tunes”- The Bug

“If last year’s dystopian dubstep document was The Bug’s London Zoo, then this is the big-budget Hollywood sequel.”- The Quietus / Music Week on Let The Night Roar

A phenomenal mix by UK up-and-comers Buddy Peace & ZILLA… Besting even some of the most accomplished feats of creative cutting-and-pasting, the Watch And Repeat Play mix is a rarity that you have to get your paws on – Scissorkick.com on ‘Watch And Repeat Play’

Playing live at BLACK FINANCIAL MASS, November 28th in Pittsburgh

J-Stat is a Detroit based producer who has been consistantly stepping up his game since I first heard him a few years back. His sound is a mutant hybrid of many styles – dubstep, techno, breakcore, industrial. The most impressive aspect of his sound is how fluidly he incorporates all of these sounds into something fresh, moving between different tempos and styles of syncopation. He normally can be heard playing at From The Gut related events in the Detroit area. Look out for an upcoming 7″ on No Room For Talent and some future releases on Void.

Although he has been making noise and electronic music for over a decade, A Vision’s Voice is Dimentia’s first full length release, and was put out by Detroit’s Void imprint.
Currently based in Oakland California, Dimentia has been involved with various West Coast soundsystem projects, such as SPAZ, Katabatik and the Autonomous Mutant Fest.  My first and only live exposure to his sounds was at the Massive Support release show in Detroit back in May 2008, and his slow, massively intense broken sound instantly made me a fan.  Obtuse, alien synth workcreates a backdrop for shredded head-banger noise and bass.   For fans of Somatic Responses, Winterkalte or Resurrector.

Valav playing live

ValaV is a project of Gent, Belgium’s Val Le.   A long time promoter and fan of electronic music, Val is a member of the infamous Breakcore Gives Me Wood crew, as well as the fun splatter-rave band the Gigglin Dildas.   This solo project has a darker, more industrial sound than the Dildas, fusing elements of atmospheric technoid broken beat, bleak hardcore techno and raw, synthetic breakcore.   This live set was recorded in November 2008.
