Description of Bong Ra I Am The God Of Hell Fire

A continous exploration into the sounds and styles which fascinate him most, flirting with jungle, rave, metal, dancehall and gabber, in no particular order. One of the forerunners in the Breakcore genre, reaching a point where sampling and a diverse musical taste have fused creating the ultimate hardcore maniac's playlist .On 'I am the God of Hellfire!' the 'amen' has been given a well deserved break, and focus has been put on his trademark rave stabs and catchy haunting melodies, proving that downtempo can be as suffocating and sinister as uptempo BPMs. A host of vocalists like ex-ATR's Hanin Elias, Drop The Lime, Mike Redman and Ras Bumpa have contributed to make this nothing less than an classic in its genre, the detail in the production has given Bong-Ra's third full length album a mature, accesible sound, creating more space in which to unleash his demonic riffing, Jason Kohnen, the sonic schizo behind Bong-Ra since 1996, brings a new dimension in hardcore breakbeat territory, pitching vocals ruffer than SL2 and dropping heavier kicks than Humanoid... or maybe its just the record The Prodigy wish they had made ???

Title:Megasaurus / Gargantuan
Label:Ruff
Bong-Ra returns in 2010 with a double track killer 12" on Ruff. A first in a series of upcoming new Bong-Ra releases, the Ruff 12" continues Bong-Ra's ventures into his damaging variations of dubstep, as shown on the spilt 12" with Starkey on Ruff 05. Heavy subs, screaming reeces and rig damaging beats. A sound more compatible with Speed Metal than with your regular mainstream Dubstep, hard to the bone and relentless.

Title:Shout At The Doner
Label:Very Friendly
Easily Kid606's most accomplished record to date, 'Shout At The Doner' combines all the brash and exciting plunderphonic and sampledelic elements he is best known for with a whole new world of uncharacteristically musical and danceable hooks and styles which are both fresh and timeless. 606 draws on some of his biggest electronic influences like LFO, AFX, Mike Ink, Green Velvet, Mouse on Mars, The Prodigy, Daft Punk, Shizuo, Mr. Oizo and Giorgio Moroder, to make bold and powerful songs about... the decline of America, leaving California, broken hearts, drunken hook-ups, social phobias, soulless partying, economic downfall, gnarly basslines, ego worship, moving to Berlin, diva vocals, Baltimore Club, obsessive compulsive disorder, the best parts of horror movies, acidhouse, ADHD, shameless irony, speed garage, megalomania, LSD, satanism and the ever prevalent doner kebab, arguably Europe's best late night cuisine. We think this release is the Kid's first successful stab at what we like to call "schizotronics" actually combining elements of many different dance music styles into new songs without pretension, trying too hard to fit into any trendy genre, or losing the joy and energy of the driving beats and basslines that make music so much fun in the first place. Maybe it's intelligent dance music for people who thought they didnt like intelligent dance music, maybe it's unintelligent vacant technopunk trash. Kid606 is headlining the Overkill stage on July 18th at Glade 2009, as well as playing clubs and festivals across Europe, UK, Japan, China and Australia all year long.
