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.
