IOS performs Dead Tech

In 1981, Mitch Enderle was the first collaborator with Dan Burke recording as Psychotic Dub, which later became Illusion Of Safety. In 1985 Mitch released a cassette on Complacency called Dead Tech. This work was Industrial music described as "noise like it used to be", featuring distorted drum machine, loops, samples, synth, guitar, and vocals very similar to early SPK, Nocturnal Emission, and Test Department. For this performance longtime collaborators Mitch and Dan will be recreating some of this material for a one off performance at Enemy.

Sound Choice Review:
This is some pretty frightening stuff, about as industrial as it gets. The working technique is largely based on samples and the use of loops to provide structure and rhythm. These loops are maniacal in tone, well chosen and combined to present a truly disturbing image that allows no room for escape. The competency of this band's groups of found vocals is above reproach, as is there generation of rhythms. Added to this is some of the most bent synthesizer and guitar manipulations that I have heard to date. These are some of the most powerful works in the exploration of such deviant realms that I have heard, comparable to the best bands of its kind. If you like Maybe Mental or Test Department, IOS/Dead Tech is your ticket to hell. (Complacency)--Nathan Griffith
