Phage Tapes:
" Volume 2 of the Monochrome series, a home for lost, abandoned, and barely heard tracks.
Track 1 originally featured on Stalingrad's 2024 album She Called Herself Tania (Industrial Coast). This is a different version than on the album, which was a reconstruction I made from material Richard sent me. The sample at the end is from a piece by Nástio Mosquito.
Track 2 originally released on A Monday Night in Middlesbrough (Industrial Coast, 2024). Steve asked me to submit a track for a compilation of artists that had played his Monday Night events. I recorded it the day I returned from my 2024 UK tour, inspired by the show in Bristol to put together a Steppas into One Drop industrial riddim. God bless jet lag.
Track 3 from the Industrial Coast Keep the Children Safe compilation (2023)
Track 4 features material from Like Weeds (Tokyo) and Xicada (Toronto). My friendship with Kenny Sanderson (Like Weeds) goes back almost 30 years at this point, we did a split together in 1999 (Joshua Norton Cabal and Facialmess), and a Like Weeds/ Nolan split in 2022. Xicada is a staple of the Toronto electronic underground and is equally at ease playing noise shows as she is playing raves.
Track 5 is something that featured heavily in my live sets in 2023 and i realized i'd never given it a proper home.
Track 6 was originally an early private exercise in learning to make jungle inspired music. It was eventually released on Save the Social comp (2024) on, you guessed it, Industrial Coast.
Track 7 features New Villain and KNG Bondalero of No Face Krew, I've worked with both of them before (see Monochrome Vol 1 and others), expect more in the future. Building on track 6 i pieced together boom bap style sample flips with chopped up jungle breaks.
Track 8 is the last of the "I'm learning to make jungle" big ideas on this release. I must have made about 420 different versions of this track and then decided that the album it was earmarked for was going to focus on something different. Listening back to it I'm pretty sure I programmed all the drums on this track. It would have been easier to chop some breaks up but here we are.
Track 9 from the Industrial Coast comp A Sickening Outrage (2024). Steve asked for Throbbing Gristle influenced music, but not covers or containing TG samples. TG remain a huge influence on everything I do. I mimicked Cosey style detuned drones over an in-the-red TR 909 drum machine that I then dubbed to oblivion. Given TG and post-TG acts involvement with various strains of electronic dance music I felt it wouldn't be too much of a stretch that TG would have used a TR 909 as the foundation of material if they broke up a few years later. Dub producers and early industrial acts repurposed consumer electronics to make the new sounds they were bringing to life. Chase sounds not equipment.
Track 10 released on the Winter Solstice 2023 compilation on Darkfloor Sound. The original felt too slow when i placed it alongside some of the other material here, so i sped it up a bit. But then slowed it down a lot."
