Artist: EC8OR: mp3 download Genre(s): Other EC8OR's discography: All of Us Can Be Rich Year: 1997 Tracks: 14 Cologne-bred, Berlin-based Patric C. (aka EC8OR) is one of the most prolific of the younger multiplication of "digital hardcore" artists combination hardcore breakbeat and gabber techno with elements of punk rock, speed alloy, and observational noise. Recording and playing under a half xII pseudonyms (including Eradicator, E-De Cologne, Irish Coffee, and Test-Tube Boy), Patric C.'s EC8OR work is ordinarily in quislingism with adolescent hoodlum singer Gina D'Orio (in one case of the Lemonbabies and Throw That Beat), and through their association with Alec Empire's Digital Hardcore Recordings label, they've managed to call on ane the near popular and long-familiar artists on the German hard-core view. Using only an Amiga 500 (a garish, jolly disused desktop computer with built-in sequencing and sampling capabilities), Patric began recording in 1991 after quitting school to immerse himself in the emergent fustian scene. Releasing tracks literally out of his journey bag, Patric's low gear mechanism twelves of comparatively straightforward techno appeared through Cologne's noted Structure label mathematical group (which included imprint's such as DJ Ungle Fever, Mono Tone, and Profan along with artists such as Mike Ink, Air Liquide, and Biochip C.). Patric's sexual love of rap music, punk, and death alloy didn't picture through and through in the music until he began making breakbeat gabber, nonetheless -- a style which linked him with hard-core sulfurous and techno labels such as Shockwave, Fischkopf (through which he released his debut LP, Agitprop), and, finally, DHR. The group's association with the latter label has belike been the most crucial; in improver to a number of singles and the self-titled EC8OR full-length (released in late 1995), DHR's distribution deal with American label Grand Royal translated into a far larger interview for their music, with Earth Beaters following in 1998. Two days afterwards EC8OR released the uncut The One and Only High and Low. |
