Very emotional track for those that knew Finsent in his lifetime as this track was played at the end of his funeral on the 9th march 2004 

The track was released as he had intended, on Team Wasted 05 - the other side of the record features a long broken beauty by Finsent's good friend Typhique - 

Finsent allways had a great love for the harsh sound produced by the brothers from Wales under the name Somatic Responses, no matter if it was 4/4 or broken stuff ... this track carries its name with pride !
There is also a broken version of My Somatic Response  and that too will one day tickle your eardrums !

The material for the artwork was also created by Finsent who had just started to experiment with feedback pictures and video's, the sleeve was made with the help of Typhique, he still runs his own audio/visual design enterprise called Multitimbral 

This record saw a limited repress of 80 copies in 2012 as there were 80 original empty sleeves left over that needed to be filled

Slow moves

Finally we got a chance again to have some proper "oldskool" fun ..... when darkness fell it was time to get the dancefloor in motion, and so we did ... playing back to back was great fun, inspiring, surprising and teasing one another .... we need more nights like these !!!

Enjoy the recording ... (sadly the memory disk was full after two hours)

The last track on our compilation was produced by Dresden based DJ, producer and artist @shannon_soundquist. It is about a brief encounter with a hidden narcissist and the efforts to get over it. At the beginning, there are great feelings and fantastic castles in the air of a possible joint development, which, however, with all their straightforwardness, already carry dissonances and arrhythmias. The noise-rise does not develop into the fulfilling drop, letting its energy seep away in a premature termination. There is no fulfillment in this track. Instead, there are painful sounds and screams that have been ground into unsettling pads with delays. And again and again unsatisfying aborts, just as the covert narcissist has broken off contact. Individual electronic sounds sting away. There is no progression within the beats, which stomp along, they just stop at some point and lead to nothing but a new break-off instead of the ecstasy of an endless dance. The track is part of a conceptual work that includes the artist's book "Durchs Jahr mit einer verdeckten Narzisse" („Through The Year With a Covert Narcissist/Daffodil“).

this recording is approaching the sound of creation of a star inside the pillars of creation nebula...a battle of ingredients of dust and gas into space to combine and give a starbirth....

That is the music I made for "The Bitter Hour of Defeat" , a dance-theater performance created by Danai Panou.

My brother Finsent has been exploring space since 2004  

This page is here to present the world with his unique music and dj-mixes.

One of the first sound systems that tickled Finsents imagination back in the early 90's was the X-lag system, showing him his first glimpse of the free party scene. Soon after he absorbed the energy that was put out by other systems like Hardcore Peace Generation, Cybx-010, Mononom, KX, K9, ZMK, TDK, Hasna and many many more. He played his records at many different places whenever he got a chance but it took some time before he found his place with his local team of brothers and sisters Wirwar.  Here he managed to create a base for himself to output his crazy livesets and manic djsets.  Some of his muses were his good friends Curley and the guys from the Rythmic Alkaloid Factory (RAF) they showed him what it was like to jam away and get lost in sound produced by analog machines .... He was inspired too by his mate Robbert (Sensory Overload) who had just started to build his own software and sequencer, opening up the digital domain so to say ...   Guys like Valentijn, Bas and Ries, and girlies like Annette, Heike and Raquel were his dj-buddies, those days you had to be glued to the dj-booth if you wanted to find out what those records were that were actually moving more than just your feet ... or be lucky to spend many lost hours with friends who were showing each other their most precious gems ....  he allways had a little want-list of records in his wallet that came along when he visited the many record shops he found on his ways ...  those were the days before the internet and discogs transformed record buyers into mouseclickers that could get anything, if their wallet was big enough ...  

We also should not forget the legendary Spiral Tribe that had just landed in europe around those days, their free spirit and their live sets and way of producing records and throwing parties had a lifelong influence on the way Finsent perceived the free party scene. He started out making music with a tr505, a simple mixer and an equalizer. He is well known for his use of the magical feedback that he managed to incorporate in a very abnormal "controlled" way, giving his livesets a unique "rough and punky" feel. He rocked many dancefloors around europe, played at many fields at the first proper teknivals, from holland to czech and inbetween, his good mate Munne from the KX system was his favourite road companion as his truck was able to roll, and serve as a hostel / music studio at the same time. 

It has taken a long time for me to get to the point where I could start sharing some of his live sets and dj-mixes, and at times it still becomes way too emotional for me to hear and process his music, but realising that there are so many others out there that will now have the choice to once again be tickled by his tunes, makes me smile. 

Finsent was a unique spirit, sometimes cornered by the madness of modern society, but in essence a truely gifted musician that is dearly missed. 
We like to think he is up there, making music with Curley and Jimi  =]    



Please treat his music with the respect it deserves, play it as often and as loud as you can,  and please contact me if you would like to use some of it for whatever purpose other than listening or dancing.

Enjoy the music and let's not forget ......
