Delta 9

Disco Inferno (Earache)
by Chaz Thorndike

Dave Rodgers, the man that is Delta 9, creates hardcore techno. Disco Inferno has all the elements of a dancefloor riot: Loud, distorted beats, high-to-superhigh BPMs, and a mix between distorted shouts, quotes from action/adventure movies, and sounds of destruction and violence. Luckily Dave’s got a great archive of samples to lift, and half the fun is trying to remember where the different clips came from. The occasional delves into white noize do little for me. While some say you can find variation and themes within the blur, all I find is the nearest aspirin bottle. And that, aside from the head-bobbin’, heart-throbbing beats (bordering on palpitations as often as not), is the essence of Delta 9.
