Read more Combat Recordings is a label aimed at releasing fierce electronic dance music drawn from the unstable, creative space between electro, breakbeat and electronica genres, combining their strong points. While ultra-detailed and intricately programmed, all tracks are aggressive DJ weapons and solidly aimed at the dancefloor. Core Clan Scan One Gritty cinematic breakbeats laced with crisp electronica edits and reinforced with London-bred basslines. This is the sound of Scan One. Having toured the world as part of the renowned Light Surgeons live visual crew, Jude Greenaway is an equally accomplished producer and DJ on the Haywire roster, pushing his characteristic sound across London venues like Fabric, Wang, Bass Invader, Ginglik and as far abroad as Finland and Morocco. His background in visual editing lends a unique feel to his tracks, perfectly matching sounds to images, moods and textures that are as clear in your mind as they are projected across massive screens in clubs like London's Fabric. Blackmass Plastics Black Mass Plastics records are synonymous with snarling, bass-driven machine funk in the fierce spirit of old hardcore. Part of the Dead Silence crew with The Dexorcist, Eun Miley takes his experience of 80's electro / industrial music and 90's rave into the studio, churning out tense, hard-edged and futuristic dancefloor tracks that fiercely defy the boundaries between breakbeats, electro and 2-step. Check his releases on labels like France's SMB, FDB and UK labels such as Rag and Bone, Dirty Needles, Audio Illusion and his own Thorn Industries imprint. These tracks don't just merely rock your body; they grab you by the throat and smash you hard in the gut. Black Mass's "Robophobic" and "Thorn 2" have been played by John Peel on BBC Radio One as well as on the BBC World Service. He continues to receive DJ support from fiercely competitive underground stations like Rinse FM, Breaks FM, Pulse Radio and Resonance FM. Ardisson Mutant glitched-out garage / electro / 2 step / breakbeat bassline mayhem. After a scorching hard breakbeat workout on London Breaks label, London's Ardisson swiftly stepped into dark yet funky glitched territory and has never looked back. Think dark, dubby breakbeats with ultra-precise edits that twist your body and warp your mind - a sound that's been unleashed upon hapless dancefloors at Dedbeat 2004 and numerous UK club nights like Wang, Moon Palace and Ginglik. Released on Seed Records, his "Yes Tributary" 12" was snapped up by electronic cognoscenti upon it's release and has since received extensive DJ support from Andrea Parker, and remains a hard-to-find classic. 'Hardware Handshake' followed, a 12" that's constantly heard in DJ sets by Si Begg. Cursor Miner Completely deranged electronic lunatic with the odd occasional punk tendency, Cursor Miner sits alongside Aphex Twin and Ardisson as one of London's mad electronic geniuses par excellence. We approached him after hearing his relentless and severely warped breakbeat / electro punishment on various other labels. Cursor combines the arrangements and intricacies of glitch electronica with infectiously funky robot rhythms, making people on dancefloor everywhere twist up like spastics - as witnessed at 2003's Hung Drawn and Quartered festival on Fuel Record's legendary Funktion One soundsystem, the Trigger Soundsystem up in Birmingham, and other events over Europe and as far as Russia. In between terrorising dancefloors, Cursor Miner spends his time designing jingles and sound bites for BBC Radio 1's various shows and occasionally appears live on Mary Anne Hobb's Breezeblock on Radio 1. Stormfield Main subverter on Combat and resident for [AMMUNITION] and [Recon], Stormfield was schooled in the nascent strains of LFO, Aphex Twin, Black Dog, Autechre et al. Relocating to England from the Far East years ago, he co-ordinated with the Liquid Injured Hearing radio sessions for Fuel Records on Breaks FM, and now runs around managing the label while regularly smashing up various soundsystems in England and abroad. Absorbing dark, fierce and strange noises then chopping, mangling and spitting them back out again in danceable form, his laptop-aided freestyle sets blend brutal breakbeats, warped electro and fierce bassbin electronics.
