BITECAST005 w/ Sharlese

Un paladin pour l'image de soit, un ghoul pour les autres.
Devoue a tout apprendre, j'ai assecher d'une seule gorgee la fontaine de follie.


Im on work, but in my head : UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ !!!

Nick Burgess is a student of Detroit, prioritizing the groove while seamlessly weaving between deep acidic Techno hypnosis and punishing Industrial sonics. In the short time since making his debut, Nick has played every hour of the night across notable Detroit venues such as Leland City Club, Marble Bar and Tangent Gallery as well as making appearances at the Tec-Troit Electronic Music Festival and the Lollapalooza after party circuit in Chicago. He has shared the bill with the likes of Skee Mask, Headless Horseman, Black Asteroid, BMG, Terrence Dixon, The Brvtalist, and Underground Resistance artists like Mark Flash and Esteban Adame. As a producer, his hypnotic and abrasive productions have been released through labels PITS, Junted, Detroit Underground, Ominous Earth, Collapsed Structures and his co-owned label, Apocalypse Rave Culture.

BITE is the Berlin-based techno label co-founded by Hayden Payne (aka Phase Fatale) in 2018. Beginning with the debut collaborative EP by Silent Servant & Phase Fatale, the label aims to platform artists who operate outside the conventional preconceptions of techno and are united by an ambition to push the boundaries of electronic music. This drive is further exemplified by regular showcases at renowned institutions Berghain, Basement, and Tbilisi’s KHIDI as well as a multitude of clubs throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

With a vast artist roster from stalwarts such as Ron Morelli and Teste to contemporary talent from the likes of Pablo Bozzi and Gael, the eclectic variety of releases touches upon a range of styles along the moodier fringes of electronic music. BITE has proved itself as the imprint to watch. Fresh off the heels of their 5 year anniversary in 2023 culminating in the acclaimed triple LP compilation ‘Shedding Skin,’ BITE moves into more dancefloor territory with their next releases by label head Phase Fatale and remixes by Rrose. The display of the music is also represented in its visual prowess with cutting designs and colorways intended to take the sound into another dimension. From proper techno to synthpunk and to sparse minimalist industrial, BITE never fails to deliver fresh and razor-sharp sounds tying together the narrative of dance music.
