Short bio:
a mashup of jungle, hip-hop, eardrum bursting feedback and a healthy does of psychedelia, holzkopf uses broken machinery and homemade synthesizers to churn out this hellish cacophony as much influenced by beats, cuts and scratches as by total noise. "Whether you call it self-expression or just self-indulgent, there's no denying the disquieting, invigorating impact of this kind of outsider art." (The Wire)
