TIGERBEAT 6

Artist:	KNIFEHANDCHOP	Title:	Dirty New York Ep
Format:	12"	Catalog Number:	MEOW128
Price:	$4.00	Label:	Tigerbeat 6
Release Date:	4/3/06
**After releasing the highly contemplative and introspective album How I Left You* in 2004, Knifehandchop spent over a year touring the world. The Dirty New York EP better reflects Knifehandchop's clear-cut command of the dancefloor and kicks off Tigerbeat6's new Tigerbass sub-label in style with ghetto dance anthems about fucking. No more whining about his exes, this is propulsive vocal booty bass combined with the high-tech, jump-up hardcore dance style for which Knifehandchop is known. The EP features guest vocals from Luqmon Brown, beats so clean you could eat off them and the filthiest bass imaginable. After last year's 12-inch featuring German D'n'B sensation Panacea wowed ravers, the Dirty New York EP will rejuvenate dancefloors around the world.

*Breaking up is like being held at gunpoint; a dire moment with the threat of violence, a chance to move on or be destroyed. Knifehandchop's postbreak-up anthems survey schizophrenic stomping electro hardcore and dancefloor death marches. Twenty-three-year-old Billy Pollard's songs of isolation and loss contextualize post-traumatic mania by kicking out the pummeling beats and extreme highs and lows. Dancehall vocal tracks such as "Outside" and "Tizzy Tixbown" bounce and bump the ragga. Knifehandchop also gives big ups to the hardcore DJs and mix cassettes of his teen years with the album's vividly destructive closer "94 Hardcore." This first true Knifehandchop album, as opposed to the latest in a series of compilations of dancefloor singles and plunderphonic booty anthems, aims to be a fully immersive concept. Previous KHC releases all keep the bar raised by mixing, energizing and distorting disparate genres as gabber, pop, techno, booty, ragga and ghetto-tech, but How I Left You reflects Knifehandchop's newest saga of bipolar drama; this frenetic new form of sonic aggression Hot off a UK tour with Kid606 along with solo gigs across Europe and America Follows a split 12-inch with Panacea Preceded by two vinyl singles, "Triple Threat" and "Techno-Gaiden," featuring remixes from Modeselektor, A77, and Com.a Recorded a Breezeblock session for BBC Radio One in May and a John Peel session last year First proper concept album, as opposed to a comp Art by Fawn Gehweiler of nocandy.org 30-second MP3 excerpts: Goin Back to Scarborough Tizzy Tixbown Riddim We Used to Make Love Return to Form Girlfriend Outside Vacant Chinatown Recital Policecore Now with 50% More Rave Morning Tonight 94 Hardcore If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the link immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to that album's iTunes page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: go to iTunes to browse downloads for Knifehandchop "How I Left You" If you have a subscription account at emusic.com, you can download tracks for purchase here.

Artist:	KNIFEHANDCHOP	Title:	Rockstopper
Format:	CD	Catalog Number:	MEOW079
Price:	$9.25	Label:	Tigerbeat 6
Release Date:	8/25/03
***Knifehandchop is Billy Pollard, a 22-year-old culture-junkie musician from Toronto who has been producing devastating electronic dancefloor anthems for the last four years on the Irritant and Tigerbeat6 labels. Rockstopper showcases what Knifehandchop has done and explores totally new musical directions, compiling some of Pollard's most manic moments, and offering lots of deep, emotional tracks. The vocoded, electro anti-love songs contrast over-the-top hip hop and distorted hardcore tracks scattered throughout the album, as well as mental mind-blowing gabber, laidback hiphop, sentimental vocal electro, and dancehall riddims. His first single "Bounty Killer Killer" was praised for combining pop, gabber, jungle and ragga in a never-before-heard manner. Other vinyl-only releases like Respect To All The Haters, Taking The Soul Out Of Music and TKO from Tokyo displayed even more musical depth, tearing apart and recreating in his own image some of the staples of club music: booty bass, house, techno, dancehall and ghetto-tech. The Irritant single "Hooked on Ebonics" tore up clubs everywhere with cut-up rap vocals and huge electro beats, and was featured on a French fashion show CD compilation from Collette. Knifehandchop is constantly defining a new genre for himself and Rockstopper is the most interesting, emotional and polished work he's done to date. Knifehandchop has performed live throughout the world at dance clubs, indie venues and music festivals, traveling as far as Japan and Europe to deliver his unique live mash-ups and rave-jams 30-second RealAudio excerpts: Down with the Scene / Don't Sweat the Scene Dancefloor Seizure Not for tha Ladies Fakin the Punk 2 Sexxxy Booty Transition Emotion I Want to Kung Fu Kick My Everything I Hope You are Proud of Me My Hooded Sweater Technological Option Hooked on Ebonics (Chill-Out Remix) Taking the Soul Out of Music vs Vertical Bounty Killer Killer (Mecha-Knifehandchop Remix) You Never Cease to Amaze Me I Hate Your Fucking Face If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the iTunes button immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to the iTunes Music Service page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: For a complete listing of Midheaven exclusive albums available for download from the iTunes Music service, please visit the Midheaven Mailorder/Revolver USA Downloadables page.

*A confusingly titled companion piece to Knifehandchop's How I Left You CD (released August 23 '04), and a premium slice of rave-dancehall-gabberpizza on its own! This 12-inch features the two tuffest and ruffest DJ-worthy tracks off the CD (that weren't already on the Triple Threat EP) and four mixes (available nowhere else) from Japan's prodigal laptop pervert Com.A, Berlin's Modeselektor (famous for their electro-acid rave mashup releases on Bpitch Control), France's A77 (one half of Rotator from Peace Off Records fame), and Toronto newcomer Belladonna Killz.** Track listing: 1. Outside (original mix) 2. Outside (Cum.Again remix by Com.A) 3. Outsider (remix by Belladonna Killz) 4. 94 Hardcore 5. Tizzy Tixbown Riddim (Modeselektor remix) 6.

Artist:	KNIFEHANDCHOP	Title:	Tko From Tokyo
Format:	12"	Catalog Number:	MEOW049
Price:	$4.00	Label:	Tigerbeat 6
Release Date:	8/26/02
**If Knifehandchop's second Tigerbeat6 record, TKO from Tokyo, doesn't raise your temperature, you better check yourself into a hospital. Moving effortlessly from classic gabba to gangsta to ragamuffin and e-fueled raver jams, TKO from Tokyo serves up eight dizzyingly fast anthems whose stylistic syntheses are guaranteed to make your head spin. Knifehandchop (aka 20-year-old Toronto native Billy Pollard) is guaranteed a place at the table of notoriety as one of Canada's top producers - especially for his cutting up, looping and sequencing over determined motor rhythms of the vocals of Jamaican dancehall legend Bounty Killer. TRACK LISTING 1. Taking The Soul Out Of Music Vs. Vertical Acrowd-pleasing ragga rave anthem 2. Hooked On Ebonics Chill-Out Mix A cut up lowrider bass jam with bad language to make your mom blush and your neighbors scream 3. I Hate Your Fucking Face A crushing and emotional ode to an unfaithful girlfriend that pits Old Dirty Bastard and a classic RZA piano line against an unusually violent, distorted ricochet kick-drum rhythm 4. Not For The Billy Venetian Snares Remix A junglist-falling-down-a-flights-of-stairs snare rush rinse out 5. Bounty Killer Killer Rollout Remix by Kid606 A breakbeat-free remix with a classic Bounty Killer a cappella performance against spinning and whirring modular synths and bouncing 808s 6. Bounty Killer Killer DJ Aneurysm Remix 7. Taking The Soul Out Of Music Joseph Nothing Remix Recalling the spirit of Rock For Light-era Bad Brains, especially after the bass kicks in 8. Vertical Noize Creator Remix With remixes by producers Kid6O6, Venetian Snares, Noize Creator, Joseph Nothing and DJ Aneurysm * Fresh off an East Coast tour, headed back to the studio to finish a new full length album due early 2003 * One of Urb's Top 100 to Blow Up in 2002 * Simple blend of hardcore electronic music and daring synth-pop sensibilities, bouncing new wave basslines and vocal hooks * Solid fanbase of DJs and collectors

**Following on the heels of the eclectic and wonderful Rockstopper* CD, Knifehandchop makes excellent use of a unique ability, in the words of Careless Talk Saves Lives, to "joyously romp through the various electronic stylings of the last few years." The infectiousness of these four new tracks is impossible to ignore. The A-side begins with the killer "Tizzy Tixbown Riddim," which comes large with furious underground reggae bizness that sends all IDM bandwagon-jumpers running for cover. "Goin Back to Scarborough" showcases Knifehandchop's melodic best, meshing hip-hop, 2-step garage and the illegal lyrical stylings of Snoop and Dre. On the flip side, "Girlfriend" is perhaps the most creative and unique track on the record, with its unpredictably perfect mix of ADD, IDM, jungle, piano melodies and techno. "Return to Form" is destined to become one of the most revered and misunderstood tracks heard at jungle parties for years to come. Knifehandchop is a true trendsetter, always working hard to keep underground electronic music sincere and interesting. Play this at a party and watch the place explode. --Vice UK Genre-busting brilliance. --Logo UK Track listing: 1. Tizzy Tixbown Riddim 2. Goin Back to Scarborough 3. Return to Form 4. Girlfriend A joyous romp through the various electronic stylings of the last few years Four new tracks, the first since '03's Rockstopper on TB6
