JK Flesh Biography

Updated: 2024/02/09
Status: Active
Bio: The JK Flesh pseudonym dates back to at least 1996 when Justin went by the name on early Techno Animal releases. In addition, some early remixes are credited to the name as well. However, as a solo entity, it wasn't until 2012 that a fully-realized LP would come. This project became much more prolific afterwards, with a number of releases, remixes of other artists' work and live shows and remains one of Justin's main projects.

Notes
* The first part in a planned multi-release series, this was recorded in 2021 but not issued until late 2024.
* These tracks consist of "open ended manipulations of minimal JK FlESH 4/4 'techno' tracks, loosely traversing the 'industrial dub techno' concept (some vague meeting point between early industrial music e.g Throbbing Gristle, etc, and dub techno pioneers Basic Channel); gritty dub techno tracks reduced and inverted, indulging in the endless possibilities of the application of the processes of dub through dirt..."
