Born in a temple lost in the jungle of Mexico, son of Indinana Jones and girl of Catwoman, the mad klito was very quickly left by his parents too much occupied of stinking mutually.
He emigrates then in the 80s to Jamaica where he was gathered and educated by a tribe of rastafaris homosexuals who gave to him taste to diverse vibrations in any genre...
It is in 1995 that his destiny is going to change forever with the discovery of Scatman and 20 Fingers, a revelation that he pushes it to flee in Europe.
In the year 2000 he discovers digital hardcore and the free-party movement (that was not so free already) and begins to experience alone in his cave his first musical experiences.
It is in 2010 that the klito appears in Internet on the netlabel BRK (France) with Randomatik Blast's remix, turns out to be then several participations for of numerous netlabel (Breakcore.nl, Cuntroll Rec, Dexandthecity, Irreverent Music, NKS, Infinite Pandemic ...) up to his first EP "Flore Vaginale" in 2012 on the mythical netlab Sociopath Records.
He also begins to play regularly on stage with various crew and artists of the world core as Foxdye, Santisima Virgen Maria, Ruby My Dear, Igorrr, Rotator, Venetian Snares... in different countries (Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Russia, Germany, Uk, Scotland ...).
In 2013 created " Hormonal VibrationZ ", multicore and more netlab with the help of MatMarrr for the visual part before immigrating to Mallorca, mad mad mad island which allows him to develop with heat and love his musical projects.
In live and direct its an unload of violent energy worked passionately that he shares with pleasure!!!

"DOOMCORE" - The soundtrack to this stupid human drama - (by Tommy De Roos a.k.a. ▲NGST/FFF)



"Doomcore" is not a "genre" that is easily defined. If it's even possible to define it or is it just another term just like "breakcore" that means something different to a lot of people?
When I got asked to write something about "doomcore" I thought: The only way to do this is by interviewing artists, label owners and promoters who either use(d) the term "doomcore" for their work or are somehow affiliated with the term. Their answers are un-edited.


MxCx Interview#26 "Hallucinator"



Hallucinator

In a world where most of the music sounds the same and every producer is the carbon copy of eachother, Luca Lodi and Simone Sighinolfi aka Hallucinator, came to break the rules. 
A career developing since 2007, proposing their uncompromising signature sound and ranging from hard neurofunk to hardcore, metal and everything in between, their pride is driven by having their own identity and not following a particular style. Always favouring quality over quantity, nonetheless the body of work looks astounding already.
The masked duo counts several releases on many prestigious labels such as EMI, PRSPCT, Yellow Stripe, Forbidden Society, Brutale (to quote a few), worked together with names like Gridlok, Counterstrike, MC Coppa, The Outside Agency, Andy the Core, The Sickest Squad. 
Definitely not the usual dj set, their show is highly energy infused and gets perceived as a live band concert. A unique approach that made them headline several shows around the globe and on the biggest festival stages, like: Let it Roll, Beats for Love, Boomtown, Imagination, Decibel, Hardshock, Q-Base, PRSPCT XL and many more, always leaving a mark and schocking crowds in every performance.
Pioneers of mask wearing since ten years into the scene, long before it became a glamorous bandwagonist gimmick, they give birth to worldwide recognized anthems like "Raise Your Middle Finger", "Resist" or the metal influenced "Fuck The System". 
End of 2017 and beginning of 2018 see Hallucinator step it up once again, on one side experimenting on 200bpm with the release on Brutale, and on the other side with their second album "Iconoclasm", forthcoming on the mighty PRSPCT Recordings, which will bring it back to their Drum and Bass roots.
Don't miss them play in your town on their next Iconoclasm tour!!!

MxCx Interview#25 "DJ Skull Vomit"



DJ Skull Vomit

https://soundcloud.com/djskullvomit
https://djskullvomit.bandcamp.com/

Skull Vomit and Singaya are the two other monikers from Tony Welter who is also half of the fierce Electro/Grind duo Eustachian and partial owner of Fathme Records. The last few years, Tony has left the Eustachian name behind to rest respectively to concentrate on his 2 still very heavily metal influenced solo projects. One (Singaya), a dubstep driven, electronic grind scuffle and the other, (Skull Vomit) a more fast paced industrial breakcore riot. Either way, the original Eusta- chian blue print is still present but evolved, adapted and personalized to cover 2 very different but quite closely related bastard children. - Miike Teknoist

MxCx Interview#23 "Duran Duran Duran"



Duran Duran Duran

https://www.facebook.com/Duran-Duran-Duran-117669818281421/

Arising from the dark heart of Philadelphia, Ed Flis has been making electronic music since 1995 and experimenting with sound since much earlier. In 1999 he formed Duran Duran Duran with Michael Chaiken and Tony Gabor. While cutting his teeth in hip hop bands, hardcore bands, and punk bands, Duran Duran Duran remained mainly a side project – eventually becoming the centerpiece of Ed’s musical output. What started off as mainly a sample-based noise project evolved into something much more honed and refined for the dancefloor as he discovered the free party scene and raves, while still maintaining a punk rock edge that isn’t afraid to experiment.

Now producing everything from ghetto tech to breakcore and beyond, Ed’s sets can be as varied as his tastes, but always hard, dark and fun. He’s toured Europe and the United States extensively since 2002, as well as Japan, He’s released records on Planet Mu, Cock Rock Disco, Tigerbeat6, Peace Off.

declaimer: 5 best breakcore tracks is quite hard to choose, even i am not the person who have this kind of thinking, the list would change with my mood every minute. but i try to make a 10 quickly most for me landmarked albums or eps. some may be linked with live sets i have seen and which kicked me off, others would stand for labels i liked their output.

MxCx Interview#22 "KNIFEHANDCHOP"



Knifehandchop

https://soundcloud.com/knifehandchop

Knifehandchop is the brainchild of Toronto native Billy Pollard. Pollard has been unleashing devastating electronic sonic warfare on the Irritant and Tigerbeat 6 labels. The all-round culture junkie plunders the vaults of every imaginable genre: gabba, hardcore, dancehall, hip hop, pop and jungle to name a few, and with a deft touch dices and splices all manner of acoustic references into dancefloor bombs. In early 2003, Irritant compiled Bling the Noize, culled from previous vinyl-only releases. His debut album, Rockstopper, followed suit on Kid 606’s Togerbeat 6 label. His first fully-fledged album of totally original work, How I Left You, hit shelves in 2004, garnering serious praise from press and public alike.


JUNGLE "A CHOPPED, EDITED, CUT AND PASTE HISTORY" (by Tommy De Roos a.k.a. FFF)



When I got asked to write a piece on the history of jungle I started sweating immediatly cause first I am in no way a journalist/writer, just a lover of the music and second the history of jungle is all over the place! I heard and read so many different stories over the years so it's hard to find the exact story. So I claim in no way that this is the truth it's more a collection of the info I heard/collected,quoted, edited, chopped, cut and pasted..


MxCx Interview#21 "Gore Tech"



Gore Tech

http://www.gore-tech.net/

The dystopian anxiety fueled sounds of Gore Tech represent the cutting edge in nuevo-industrial, future-phobic drum & bass music. From as early as 2011, Gore Tech has been welding together the rough edges in state-of-the-art technophobic nightmare-ish sound-scapes, working in collaboration with other production outfits, bands and products alike to produce their unique styles of Drum & Bass, Future-Doom and Dub.


MxCx Interview#20 "Monster X"



Monster X

https://monsterx.bandcamp.com/

Radio / tv sound designer by day, electro-breakcore mentalist by night, this smiling misfit come from a background in thrash metal and industrial music, with his previous 12-piece metal band gigs involved fake-blood-splattering theatrics and on-stage riots, he later went the solo electronic route as it was more efficient at causing mayhem.

Intrigued by his way of adeptly and confidently switching from solid, body-rocking electro grooves to abstract, mentalist breakcore, feisty hyper-processed dancefloor electronics, labels like Bedroom Research ,Peace Off, and Tigerbeat6 have been quick to release his militant, lunatic sound. He's also one of the member of Fausten , a collaborative project with Stormfield , the Combat Recording label Boss . An Album of Fausten was release in 2013 on the label Ad Noiseam .


MxCx Interview#19 "DROON"



DROON

http://www.droon.org/

Droon! Your favourite Belgian B-list Breakcore Live Act! MIG-helmet? Beard? Makeshift keytar? That's the one. His improvised gabberkick mashup breakcore topped up with ample chipmunk bastard pop sprinkles, country nuggets & metal shards has brought him to Osaka, Moscow, Sydney, New York, Sao Paulo Beijing and Maldegem! the biggest "actual talent" vs "gone places"discrepancy in showbusiness!
