The Terrorbyte system was programmed in 1981 as part of an artificially intelligent UK security firewall developed by MI5 against a backdrop of political tension towards the end of the cold war. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Terrorbyte system was suspended and the software was subsequently deleted ... or so they thought. Fragments of Terrorbyte a.i. were scattered amongst the UK governmental mainframe and in 2004 coalesced and went renegade. Terrorbyte's digital ghost now traverses the internet undertaking guerilla raids against commercial pop music high on illicit cookies, spam emails and raw infrabass frequency spectrums. Last seen masterminding both the Beta Birmingham and Beta Test imprints. 

Beta Birmingham began as an attempt to bring together some of the Midlands elite electronics producers. However, as Beta Birmingham has evolved it was clear that aspirations stretched much further than the Midlands. Not wanting to abandon the ethos of promoting locally sourced producers, Beta Test was founded to embody a more internationally diverse roster comprising some of the meanest gremlins on the Glitch circuit. 

Terrorbyte has supported an eclectic  mix of renowned electronic acts such as Edit, Venetian Snares, Kid 606, Point B, Cursor Minor, Dj Format, Emalkay, Hellfish, Producer plus many more and can be expected to perform and produce anything from robots to Ragga and Glitch to Gabber, specialising in future B-boy Electro Hop with a Neuro inspired bass twist.

TEST-001 // Terrorbyte -  Shaolin Drunken Bass [CLIP] OUT NOW!

Beta Test Records is the UK's premier Glitch Hop and Neuro Hop vinyl specialist!

A beta test involves taking something from the studio to a limited audience for testing.  As such, Beta tests the crossover between experimental architecture and dancefloor delivery, endeavouring to lay down enough glitches to scratch your bass beard whilst breaking funkier than James Brown’s good foot. 

Our debut album is out now! Available both digitally and as a limited edition 180g bass-heavy battlewax, Chemical Coercion features a wanted list of the bass music genres’ pre-eminent producers.

Beta Test run a monthly radio show for UK Glitch Hop broadcasting on Bassport.FM which regularly features guest mixes and interviews from some of the meanest gremlins on the glitch circuit. The UK Glitch Hop Show runs every Wednesday from 8 - 9pm [GMT] - More details are available via the UK Glitch Hop Facebook and Soundcloud page.
