nice. been playing this guys tunes the last year or so, had no idea he was from a metal background.

Is this a designer republic artwork ? Will give it a listen.

Man, he's really cranking out a lot of quality music with this moniker

Man he is stupid prolific and I can't think of one release or project that was a dud. 

 

His collaborator Kevin Martin (The Bug) is worth checking out too, same with former Napalm Death alum Mick Harris (Scorn)

there's no digital release for this yet, I guess. can't find it anywhere.

HOOFING

[usagi]

definitely on the 2018 highlight reel for me.

is this anything like his pale sketcher alias? love that dreamy downtempo dnb sound

[usagi]

nuh, more edgy/angery. all his releases on Electric Deluxe are techno-oriented, seeing as it's a techno label run by Speedy J.

 

it's a change in the sound of JK Flesh itself, cos the earlier stuff was a lot more industrial and the first JK Flesh album is actually pretty metal-sounding, with slowed-down sludgy dnb loops for rhythms. it's great. it was like his outlet for Godflesh type stuff before Godflesh returned.

he hasn't released anything under Pale Sketcher in ages I don't think, and being as that was a more electronic offshoot of the dreamy Jesu stuff, it doesn't seem like any of his other multitudinous aliases would go into that particular niche either. the Jesu remixes are lovely:
