Xylocaine - Experiment in Fear (1995)


OK I'm out of my depth here -- I know nothing about breakcore, which, I'm fairly certain, this is. So I'll just tell you what I hear: whole lotta breakbeats, whole lotta distorted, hyper-speed, gabber-style kicks, whole lotta samples, zero melodic elements. Pretty much noise music, except you can imagine really coked-up Euros dancing to it. I fucking love it. Who can recommend more stuff like this?

Track listing:
1. 440Hz
2. L.M.G.
3. Basset
4. Mince Meat
5. Shit Stir
6. Simsence
7. Havin a Waz
8. Experiment in Fear
9. Data Jack
10. H2SO3
11. Code Red (Remix)
12. Holyarse (Remix)
13. Elite
14. Redness & Swelling

Double murder-suicide

More outdated 90s electro:

Future Retro (1997)
The Martian – LBH-6251876
(A Red Planet Compilation) (1999)

    DuranDuranDuran or Donna Summer / Jason Forrest. Xanopticon comes to mind, too.

    [http://selfishfew.blogspot.ca] has some "NYC Speedcore" & "HxC techno", which seem to be related.
    Found the blog when looking for rare GENOCIDE ORGAN. Guy's also got tons of Japanese/Finnish Punk. Think you'll enjoy; check it out.

    Thanks again for the blog. Cheers!

    Nero's Day at Disneyland - From Rotting Fantasylands

    A hallmark of the genre.

    Also Arkhaiomelisidonophunikheratos, by Satanicpornocultshop.

    This is nice.
    Besides Venetian Snares and some hardcore techno, closest I can think of is some early Alec Empire stuff (The Destroyer, Bass Terror, Squeeze the Trigger...). Not super similar, however.

    I did a one off project in a similar vein, more noise than break, or using breaks and beats instead of pedal loops as noise source:

    bloodclaat gangster youth, \atr/slayer - no remorse, v snares - sabbath dubs. v snares - rossz..., In the Mouth of Madness - A Metal, Crossbreed & Breakcore Mix
    is, imo, a ripping mix (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl5FkhdSpJM) - well worth checking out and definitely psychedelic in its effect rather than its form.

    Late 90's speedbass was like this but heavier and on more drugs. DEV/NULL is good one , both "Necrobestial Sadobreaks" and "Lazer Thrash" are solid albums. Cant name any albums but Madame Chao was pretty intense. He had and crazy public access show , youtube that high please.
    Your blog is awesome. You should know that.

    stupidfag is right. Bloodyfist is where its at for this style of hardcore. Pretty much anything Mark N was involved with is amazing. Check out Rent Money Acquisition, Stuck in Stallis, or Stick your happy hardcore records up yer arse...Best Hardcore dj ever.

    Yo, I'm not sure if you have ever checked out Boymerang? Kind of obsessed with their sound at the moment
    Not quite so hardcore as this, but a really great drum & bass project... they only released one LP in 97' and then disappeared. really interesting spacious sound, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlBHpx_sL3o&list=PLLLnX4yGeQEgKlb292oWW-4NtNBHiFzhp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cecDOXk5hDk

    Its Aaron. He's from Newcastle. We invented this shit. Manitoba is just sparkling unemployment. Only the weirder Germans and rich NYC people put this stuff out, and the weirder Germans were better with better Czech masterers. Bloodyfist was a thing.

    This is all amigacore / 4 track sampler stuff. So it is squeezing a lot out of 4 channels of 8 bit shit.

    The ideal way to witness this was at a mixed punk / bloodfist all ages gig at a bowling club or a house party or something. Unlike other bloodyfist acts Xylocaine manages to get the deep social distortion of media around the meaningless hell of Newcastle life in the 1990s. LMG's sample, "Double murder suicide" obviously, but also all the AM radio found material.
