Intro

This is electronic music with a serrated edge. It takes the frantic energy of 90s jungle and the technical precision of turntablism, then douses the whole thing in the raw aggression of the Midwest metal scene. The beats don't just play; they collide, featuring rapid-fire scratching and distorted breaks that feel like they're trying to outrun themselves.

What sets this apart is the sheer physicality of the sound. While many drum and bass producers aim for a slick, futuristic sheen, this project embraces the grit. You can hear the influence of punk and metal in the way the samples are chopped, favoring impact and jagged transitions over smooth flow. It's the sound of a DJ who treats his decks like a lead guitar, shredding through vinyl with violent intent.

Start with 'The New Leader' to hear the bridge between hip-hop technique and jungle speed. It's the perfect entry point for anyone who wants their electronic music to carry the same 'don't care' attitude and high-stakes intensity as a hardcore show.

Sidney George Wilson (born January 20, 1977) is an American DJ and keyboardist. He is the turntablist and keyboardist for the heavy metal band Slipknot, in which he is designated #0.
