***Having lurked in the break-core maximum-fuckedbeat underground for years, Boston's Dev/Null finally releases a debut 12-inch; extreme rave noise is the rule here, where bits and pieces of classic rave hardcore and old-school jungle (including Human Resource, The Prodigy, Joey Beltram, Sub Base Records, and 2 Bad Mice) are yanked from their surroundings and forced to share the frequency spectrum with ultra-jarring, obsessive-compulsive blastbreaks. The result is a noise/beats extravaganza on par with Venetian Snares. This isn't nostalgia or nudge-nudge-wink-wink irony bullshit. Unlikely as it may seem, this is one hundred- percent dance music. It may be mutant dance music made for brains eroded by years of exposure to harmful sounds, but it's dance music nonetheless. Coming from the grind/crust world (where he played drums in bands like Grief) Pete Dev/Null got into breakcore around 1997 via Ambush Records' first few releases, and has been actively producing tracks since 2001. As Dev/Null he has toured Europe twice, released two split seven-inches and numerous compilation tracks, and is scheduled to release a full-length album on Jason Forrest's (aka DonnaSummer's) Cock Rock Disco label this year. Dev/Null is also working on split releases with Electromeca and Terminal11, and a remix for Agoraphobic Nosebleed for Hydrahead. - Mutant dance grind from previous Grief drummer
- Upcoming full length on ultra-hip Cock Rock Disco label
- Another Violent Turd 12-inch destined to be sought after
