The Horrorist aka Oliver Chesler.... been picking up some of his older stuff... great music, anyone else rate this guy? also i hear his live stuff is nuts?
he's one of few i'm still anxious to see live in action.
he doesnt play live. his girlfriend does. he just jumps around shouting into a mic.
guy is hilarious. love him. not exactly my kind of techno, but he wins massive style and humor points from me.
his remix of horrormone on tresor is probs my fave hororrist tune, or 99.9 with john selway
i remember his releases from IS and IST,
99.9 or by Disintegrator records are my fav
aye ave seen him live 3 times- gets ye bouncing nae probs - dunno if his birds even doin anythin behin th laptop tbh - defo advise to go in c him
Flesh is the fever. Class A.
Let me take you into the future!
Deep into a different time.
Let me grip onto your face...
and bring you to this new place.
Super-social amphetamine.
The queer tune of control.
The panic disorder gripping...
the entire race has a whole.
Flesh is the fever of force...
and its the sound without remorse.
Rampant is the army of disease...
that brings you to your knees!
You cant believe everything you hear.
You cant believe everything you see.
The conspiracys ever growing...
and all you can believe in is me!
These are the things, the things to come.
These are the things, the things to come.
fun as hell

the ep he did with landstrumm kicks ass.
dj skinhead stuff is also nice
Can anyone else hear the distinctive sound of Keats endlessly rotating in his grave.....?
DIRE !
When it comes to the horrorist, I've never "got it"
Having said that, without him there'd be no "one night in hackney" and no mention of "progressive electro house synthesis, mate" so I guess that (in a most tenuous manner) vindicates a certain aspect of his career. Probably.
I thought his live set was totally guff tbh. If i wanted to see someone prance about on stage i would go and see britney spears - at least she dances too. No fluidity to his sets or anything! His choons are ok but not my favourites, too.
I can pretty much sign on with that. Though, I love the old Temper Tantrum stuff, the Disintegrator stuff, Koenig Cylinders, etc. While I found some of the Horrorist stuff hilariously tongue in cheek (see the lyrics for Mission Ecstacy), I've always preferred the harder hitting stuff he's worked on with less vocals. And every now and then I hear something from him that reminds me of that old Temper Tantrum stuff. I wish he hadn't left NYC.
got some temper tantrum videos on terrordrome 9 cd, crazy stuff
Hey Koma, who is Keats?
