Reset: - born in 1973 in belgium, Patrick Stevens started 1990 creating
electronic music and got involved into the worldwide network of
independent electronic industrial music, called the cassettescene. His
main musical project HYPNOSKULL (since 1992) attracted various people
and since the start and the first part of SONAR his main activities
became the rhythmical industrial and technood music. After some years
being involved in the techno-scene, this is a logical evolution. RESET
combines either the monotony of his industrial work, as well as the
'lightness' he appreciates so much in other's music. RESET also
maintains Stevens' idea of how minimal electronica should be made :
unstructured, and easy... or, what others regard as an insult, taking it
as a compliment. For those who like straightforward beats. Label:

distorted baseline. noisex

cuts of the ground,
angledozers in bulk, walking on a heavy soil with hobnailed boots, to

slow collection of percussive minimalism that fall somewhere into the
grey area between orderly and infectious sporadic ambient. Label: Ant
