Stefan Jaworzyn

Stefan Jaworzyn, the legendary underground figure with Whitehouse and Skullflower on his CV, revives his Shock label - home to stacks of releases by Coil, NWW, Ramleh in the '90s - with a discombobulated analog assault on the weirdest dancefloors. Two sides unfurl a barrage of modular bleeps and mescaline flash electronics equally inspired by the linear hypnotism of minimal techno and free jazz aesthetics. A-side 'The Fucker' is driven by a a rugged breakbeat through bracing, atonal maelstrom of sheer, screeching, crisply contoured modular madness; 'Dr Smegmatic' is perhaps more restrained, ballin' with steady but buckling rhythms and chirpin', mind-bending tweaks lucidly rendered by mastering engineer, Noel Summerville.
