The year was 1994, and seemingly a lot of things happened that year. And three roommates decided to make an album, they were the electronic producer Mark ‘Locust’ Van Hoen, and underground DJs Kevin Hector and Tara Patterson. They decided to name themself after a line by the character Wilhelm Klopper from Stanisław Lem's 'A Perfect Vacuum'; "Down with evolution! Long live Autocreation!"

'Mettle' is made by almost entirely on modular synthesizers (Actually the first in the in the genre to our knowledge.), which give it a unique and timeless sonic signature. Sounding like a mix of John Carpenter's film scores, Mika Vanio’s work as Ø and Locust’s own work, it stands on it’s own as an eclectic mix of brood and groove. And such, it’s no wonder it became a classic of early IDM, with it’s dark ambient synths pulsating over dark pounding drums.

It’s a hypnotic brooding album to say the least - which is why we decided to release one of the most contextually gritty IDM album out there via the equally gritty format of cassette.
