Information About

Kid 606




Kid606's music is similar to the work of his friend and colleague Lesser , as well as hardcore and IDM acts such as Atari Teenage Riot , Autechre , Pan Sonic , and Matmos . It should be noted, however, that he is primarily inspired not by his electronic contemporaries, but by his love of the Industrial Music , Death Metal , and Industrial Metal of the 1980s and 90s, particularly bands like Godflesh and Napalm Death . His music is known for its high tempo Breakbeat s and liberal use of Noise and Sampling , as well as its punk aesthetic, uninhibited genre-mixing, and irreverent sense of humor. However, he is equally adept at creating more serious tracks that often reside in the realm of ambient and glitch ( "Parenthood" from ''Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You'' and the entirety of ''P.S. I Love You'' being good examples). For these reasons, Kid606 is widely recognized as one of the few producers today who can successfully tackle nearly every electronic genre (mash-up, ambient, jungle, dub, hardcore techno, glitch, acid, house, gabber, noise, etc.).

Notable releases by Kid606 include ''Don't Sweat the Technics'' (VC140: 1998), ''Down with the Scene'' (IPC-7:2000), ''P.S. I Love You'' (MP93: 2000), and ''Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You'' (IPC-46:2003). He collaborated or participated in the groups Spacewurm , Ariel and DISC .

Along with Rjyan Kidwell , who's more commonly known for his work as Cex , he created the Tigerbeat6 label.
