We can always count on Aaron Funk to punish us at least once a year. If you're not familiar with Venetian Snares, it's time for you to open up that hole and crawl out. Seriously. Winnipeg (Canada) based Funk is a prolific champion of the edgiest of genres - from modern-classical orchestral arrangements violated with breakcore to noisy IDM sprinkled with clicks and cuts. Among the collection of labels, he has managed to span some of my favorites - Zod, Distort, Sublig... MORE
Breakcore badman Venetian Snares just announced he'll be in the States this Winter and late Fall for a string of live shows. The solo producer will be supporting his new album of hazzardous beauty, DETRIMENTALIST! Venetian Snares will be joined by another longtime glitch meistro - Otto Von Schirach, plus Cyrusrex and NAHA. The Detrimental Disco Wibble Tour 2008 will start on the East Coast in September, explore the Midwest in October/November, then warm up in Otto's hom... MORE
2007 felt like a dry spell in the breakcore arena. There were a handful of impressive albums in similar genres like IDM, glitch, 8-bit etc., but very little breakcore.

From the 2005 album Rossz Csillag Alatt Született, Öngyilkos Vasárnap is, essentially, a cover of the infamous "hungarian suicide song" based around samples of Billie Holiday's version (Gloomy Sunday) - but leaving out the third stanza added by Holiday's producers, which was meant to soften the song's imagery by claiming that it was all "just a dream".
The original song was composed by Hungarian pianist, Rezső Seress, after he broke up with his girlfriend in 1933. By the ... MORE
I just wanted to make my first real post and if you haven't seen this vid, watch it. Good music and good dancing actually.
I tweaked and equalized the track a bit for your listening pleasure.

Ok... this is a very brutal song from one of the two very brutal albums. (Doll Doll Doll, Find Candace) If you have seen the music video for this than you know how disturbing this song is. If not then listen to it. Short, loud, 'nail' snare sounds fill the beginning to start the disturbing trip and a really paranoid, worried feel. There is a break in the middle of quiet, but off-tone sounds keep the search going and finally all the sounds come together but the 'nail' s... MORE
