Since exploding onto the techno scene in 1995 with the now-classic "Surgeon
EP," DJ/producer Anthony Child has been remolding contemporary techno. His
early releases on Downwards and Tresor caused a ripple of excitement among
techno's elite players, resulting in remix work for Dave Clarke and
inclusion on Jeff Mills' seminal 'Live at the Liquid Room' mix.
Over the years surgeon has explored more cerebral elements of production
while maintaining an unusual harsh and funky edge in his music. experiments
with industrial and musique concrète techniques can be heard on his darker
collaborations with Regis as British Murder Boys as well as remix work for
classic experimentalists Coil and Faust.
System 23 takes industrial's heritage of electronic inspiration and
squashes it into techno's blueprint. Influenced by like-minded industrial
inheritors Surgeon/Regis, and adding an overlay of Funk da Void and Beyer,
they use hard beats and savage filters to make music that is dumb, yet
smart. Lovely.
Behind System 23 is a long history in music, going back to punk and
industrial days. His early influences include range from the Sex Pistols to
KraftWerk, Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle. System 23s music clearly
stacks up the Pistol's attitude against techno's sonic arsenal. Even
better, their deep knowledge of the industrial greats means they know just
how slammingly funky they could be, as anyone who saw the Cabs live can
tell you. It's this side of industrial that seeps through System 23's
grooves.
