Hellboy - the pit by structuraldamagerecords

latest track im working on...far from finished yet, going on digital ep next year ...speaking of which, yes the online shop will include digital downloads soon starting with a mystery acid ep, followed by Baby Krugers long awaited debut on the label then a 3rd digital release...me this time, so from now until then will strive to create the best possible listening experience for some of the old school underground electro enthusiasts. ;)

SDamageX01 - Hellboy - Force of Nature E.P. (Official Anouncement)

It has been a few months since my blog was last updated. So for those of you who have been spared my relentless assaults on facebook and soundcloud lately...let me bring you up to date.

My first physical VINYL record is to be released in a matter of weeks now. It has taken all summer to get sorted as i have been taking my time coordinating everything between myself, Will.. who runs our website (version 2 on the way) and the pressing plant.

The Test pressings have all sounded great just some minor adjustments had to be done. The style is a blend of old-school electro, breaks, acid and industrial. A testament staying true to my older underground electronic roots. This project has been in the making for several years now and i must say it feels good to finally get it done.

Test pressings minus the few i kept for myself were all sent to DJs i respect for feedback and to mix and results were positive. Particularly from my agents in Brussels were criticism can be pretty brutal. Oh..and my girlfriend likes it (and she rarely sings musical praises eh ?...haha.x)

The pictures on here are in my home studio with my friend Craig, whos been one of me closest mates since i came back to the uk many years ago. we made some noisy shit together for a few years before i got all "serious" ;) ... many thanks to him (naturally he got a test press)

while im here i would also like to thank the people who taught me my trade. Tim day, Chris Bunce, Dave sibley, Steve...Matt hodson, Phil Bodger and Stace Constantinou...in particular Tim for being the most enthusiastic teacher i have ever met. and to all my friends, family, all loved ones.

Force of Nature represents many things to me. The main has been essentially survival...and overcoming the odds. This vinyl is dedicated to all the freaks out there. long live the underground.

NEW EP FOR 2011// HELLBOY - THE TRIP

SO....here i am again, just to say that as well as a vinyl i will be releasing my first free EP since 2008's "through the gutter". "The trip" is basically a journey back into my techno roots which will eventually come to a gruesome
finale into dark ambient and noise sound-scapes.
It has taken me so far...over a year to assemble, but its on its way now and should be with you around april or may time...maybee slightly later.
Its been a bitch to decide what to put out next, im happy with this though ;)

HellB out.

2 THOUSAND AND 11

Greetings...
First post of a brand new year...one which will see many changes for the label and one where i plan to narrow things down a lot more as an artist.

2010 for me was all about experimentation... i wrote 2 albums which i plan to never release and a host of other random tracks, some bits might just leak through and find their way somewhere but shit..id rather not think too much and focus on moving forward.

Busy psyching myself up to write first tune of the year, im exited, particularly since the dramatic changes made to my music studio this month, first though i have to finish writting stuff...
im researching a lot about futurism and its impact on music...particularly noise, also more than ever listening and studying my old favorites skinny puppy, einsterzunden naubauten ....amongst countless others, reading reading reading reading

i think the first new material will surface around mid-february, i have to go to poland first where i plan to just do a DJ set and celebrate another new begining in my life ;)

SO narowing it down.... noise, industrial, less melodies, time changes, concrete,,,,,these are the things im looking at now, but with my own twist, so much has happened and so much crazy stuff is still hapening to me on a daily basis i have to get this shit out no matter what,

and the rest i think you know....

structural damages first vinyl goes to press in a few months, i feel it may come accross very self indulgent that its going to just have my own stuff on it but its something that means a lot and i need to release the music that is important to me.

ok be well whoever you are ...

2010 the end. Headquarters 2011

Happy end of year to everyone

Its has been turbulent, but we have survived it



2011 holds some big changes.

THE BIRTH OF THE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE DEMOLITION SQUAD SERIES

AFTER...

So here i am back at headquarters a couple of weeks later...The show was awesome and brilliantly organised, all the artists were treated like kings i was almost pinching myself at times, free booze, food champagne...all that was missing was some escort girls and that would have sealed it...haha...kidding. I actually ended up playing an extra show in Mons the following night and was brought beers until 4 in the morning so it took my body a few days to re-adjust when i got home !
It was a crazy weekend, and i managed to pull off something ok, the reactions seemed to have been 90% positive...

good experience and nice to reach out to different crowds, the show in mons being mainly goths and mods...hahaha but even they liked it...had to play the heaviest tunes to get attention though, was really good crowd in the end though.

the brussels gig i felt was cool too, i think i did end up playing far far too late and i was on verge of collapse after i played, also i get the feeling i played some of my set in mono by accident...thats the danger of putting me on so late in the morning hahahahaahahahaha....some things will never change..oops. ;)

all in all its been fun and i wish the very best to everyone involved, see you in 2011
