Bodycode

Alan Abrahams AKA Portable AKA Bodycode has been in motion his whole life—growing up in South Africa, coming of age in London, decamping to Berlin and finally settling in Lisbon—and his deeply syncopated brand of electronic dance music has evolved with every step of the journey. His formative years were spent in an impoverished Cape Town township ironically tagged “Beverly Hills”, and to the backbeat of the first wave of Chicago house records he emerged out of the ruins of a post-apartheid South Africa. Inspired musically, yet frustrated geographically, he relocated to London in 1997.

jack the stripper

Jack The Stripper is a hardcore band from Melbourne, Australia.
“Black Annis” is the first full-length work from these avant-noise merchants. Containing eight tracks with a central lyrical theme of nightmares and personal demons, this album is a harrowing blend of grind, chaotic hardcore, mosh metal and jazz fusion. Filled with rage and unsettling progressions that have been compared to early Dillinger Escape Plan and Converge, “Black Annis” captures the blood-spitting violent live spirit of the band in a highly creative, original and polished independent release.
