Modulisme: Jack Dangers (Audio)

Jun 24, 2024

It’s now been 30+ years that Jack Dangers has been an essential figure in modern Electronic music. At the end of the 80s, he originated Meat Beat Manifesto and started to create a universe and a new sound, made up of breaks, psychedelia strewn with samples, in an industrial, dub and hip hop fusion.

Inhabiting San Francisco, Jack has played a central role in the explosion of genres such as big beat, trip hop, breakbeat and dubstep and has collaborated with David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, The Orb, Public Enemy, David Byrne, DJ Shadow, Aphex Twin while releasing solo works and playing his vintage synths.

For us he concentrated on the EMS Synthi 100, Moog modular and Buchla synthesizers sitting in his renowned Tape Lab studio.

Most recently he released records with Ad (Clock DVA), Merzbow, worked with Trent Reznor, a new MBM LP, a retrospective CD of 40 years of noise tracks and several remix projects for Mark Stewart and Eric Random w/ Stephen Mallinder, plus some remixes for Consolidated, dgoHn, Mr. Echoes, Adi Newton, and an Allen Ginsberg project.
