Breakcore...at it's finest

We're happy to announce another batch of new breakcore signings to the family.

Please welcome, Ladyscraper and Dr.Bastardo!  Both artists have a long history together with their involvement with such UK crews as Wrong Music, but sonically they definitely both have their own unique sound and their own ways to rupture dancefloors across the globe.  They will also be joining Skull Vomit on Miike Teknoist's next Ninja Columbo release (due out in the next month or two).

But before we get to them, here's some news of one of our other breakcore superstars, Stazma...

Ladyscraper

Coming at you like Phil Anselmo with his cock in one hand and a canvas bag full of Gabber kicks in the other, new MethLab signing Ladyscraper alternates between beating the shit from your bowels and transporting you to lovely fairy castles surrounded by flying unicorns.

So far in 2013, Ladyscraper has released ‘The Witch’ as another free DL album on Grindcore Karaoke.  The legendary Agrophobic Nosebleed posted this about the release ‘This shit is LIGHTYEARS ahead of anything ANB has ever done musically. Grindcore is almost 30 fuckin' years old, it's nice to be listening to something that actually sounds like 2013 for a change’. Following The Witch we have the second free DL Ladyscraper Album of 2013, The Wizard, which will be landing on Rotator’s Peace off imprint late April, followed by a split on Ninja Columbo with Skull Vomit and Dr. Bastardo early summer.

Dr.Bastardo

Dr. Bastardo's first practical experiments were made available to the public in 2006 on the 2x12 "When Dub Plates Attack" on Peace Off. He has since had work released by Ad Noiseam, Proboscus, Rancourous, and Our Fucking Jungle. He is also well known for his live practical demonstrations of techno science at events around the UK and Europe.

The Doctor has made a special promo mix exclusive to MethLab, showcasing all the tunes from his numerous upcoming releases.  Download and listen to it here...

The Teknoist & his labels // New Releases // Tour Info

Will this man ever run out of energy?  Not fucking likely!  Miike Teknoist as been at the forefront of Hardcore and Breakcore for over a decade now and the pacemaker isn't slowing down for anyone.  To our minds, he is one of the few truly orignal artists at this end of the musical spectrum.

From his humble beginnings in "the bay," he's emerged from the shadow of such luminaries as Dolphin, Hellfish and The DJ Producer, to reinvent the genre and to show us there was more to Core than just Hard.

As well as an extensive back catalogue on classic labels such as Deathchant, Planet Mu and Ad Noiseam, including two full length albums on the latter, Miike has also driven the scene forward with his own labels Ninja Columbo, Samurai Brylkreem and Our Fucking Jungle.

In addition to his many solo releases, he has also notched up a very impressive list of collaborative projects.  Starting out in what have become classic partnerships with Dolphin and Scheme Boy (arguably the reasons for Ninja Columbos original conception), he then moved on to working with Eustachian, MacheeeN Boi, End.User, Needle Sharing and Kitech to name but a few.  Many of these collaborations are still ongoing. His full length collab with End.User and Needle Sharing is now out on Ad Noiseam after a very special launch at the 2012 Maschinenfest Festival during End.User's set.  Check the video of that one-off performance here:

His collab work and new Ableton vs decks live show with Scheme boy is now under the name of Undead Roniin. Expect new EP's very soon on both Abused Recordings and Ninja Columbo. You can catch a little preview of that project here:



So, not content with constantly pushing the boundaries of hard electronics with his solo and collaborative work and running three top notch labels, The Teknoist has also been a great ambassador for the scene worldwide, with tours all across the globe.  This week sees the start of his debut tour of Australia:

Peace Off Breakcore Special: New mixes & new releases

Peace Off Records, the love child of Rotator and Satan himself, has been leading the world in Breakcore since it's conception well over a decade ago.  Alongside it's spin-off labels, such as Bang-a-Rang, Ruff, Mutant Sniper, Kamikaze Club and many more, Peace Off has released some of the scenes most classic tracks and featured such artists as Rotator (obviously), Monster X, TechDiff, Broken Note, Venetian Snares, Scheme Boy & The Teknoist, Parasite, Stazma, the list goes on and on.

At MethLab we're very proud of our close association with Peace Off and it's artists and it's Peace Off's latest signing that we're particularly proud to have on the MethLab roster.  Please welcome Manchester's very own Gore Tech!

Gore Tech's seizure inducing sound can only be described as Ragga Deathstep and utilizes the archetypal sounds of Dub, Hardcore, Dancehall and Crossbreed with Heavy Metal time signatures and overdriven subsonic force.
After recently completing remixes for Underhill, on the legendary Ad Noiseam Records and another for Llamatron on the Peace Off subsidiary, Ruff, Gore Tech is now dropping his first Peace Off vinyl with the Heretic EP, featuring a blistering remix by Rotator himself.

You can listen to previews of the Heretic EP here...


Clcik HERE to buy the Heretic EP.

Gore Tech has kindly provided us with an exclusive mix for MethLab. Click the pic below to view his artist page on our site and get downloading that mix punx!

There's also another little offering from the main man himself, Rotator. Out soon on Homicide Records.  Check out this little preview...



It wouldn't be right to mention Gore Tech, Rotator and Peace Off without also mentioning Stazma The Junglechrist, another Peace Off and MethLab artist who is currently killing it with high pressure releases and a live show causing anal prolapses all across Europe.  Having taken the early Breakcore ethos of genre mashing and amen splicing, Julien Stazma delivers his sound of Rave, Gabber, Jungle and Dub with a modern, tight production that is synonymous with the French producers these days.

His latest release is a split with another MethLab favourite, Dr.Bastardo on Miike Teknoist's new jungle label, Our Fucking Jungle.  Listen to the preview here...

The vinyl of Our Fucking Jungle 02 can be bought from The Hard Store HERE.

As well as the Peace Off store, which can be found HERE, you can also buy digitals from Stazma himself HERE.

Last but certainly not least is the one and only Monster X.  Another Peace Off mainstay and sound design master, who like Stazma, has earned himself a reputation as being a live act not to be messed with.  Sonically a Monster X set can take you from stomach churning horror ambience to twisted Techno and then ultimately to frenetic, glitched-to-fuck Breakcore  His latest release was a track on the awesome Electronic Explorations compilation, which can be found HERE.

Here's a taster of the Monster X track from that compilation...
