about

Ben Brydon [aka Bracket] has been pushing underground beats in variant forms for the last 10 years, taking in everything from Punk, Dub, Hardcore, Jungle, Electro, Garage and Drum & Bass, soaking up their twisted elements like a malnourished sponge and throwing it back out at anyone willing enough to listen.. emphasising “ruff arse basslines, monster subs and cold, cavernous FX” in his own words. Recently signed to south London label Rag and Bone Records and Combat Recordings and also long time resident DJ at London night Plex, his music production embodies the spirit of his DJ sets: gritty, chopped drumbreaks and hard, angular rhythms offset against spooky, eerie post-industrial ambiences – a continuation of the old hardcore/jungle spirit in newer music forms. He recently remixed the mighty Scorn, a track entitled Gravel Bed which was previewed on Mary Anne Hobbs's Experimental Show, and will hopefully surface on vinyl in mid 2009. Ben unfortunately passed away on April 6th 09, but his music lives on and he made a fair amount of it so expect to see a glut of Bracket & Wi-Fi of the Undead tracks coming out on a variety of labels over the course of this year, including new imprint BRACKOUT (set-up in his honour), Coin Operated & Consume.
