PBK - 21st Century Electronic RSS

"This American artist has been recording under the name of PBK for the best part of 20+ years... His music, and the reason you probably won't be familiar with him, places him at the fringes of the experimental jet set. That little area where few dare to venture for fear of what they may hear. The dark recesses of the unknown driving many a listener into the arms of a safer more comfortable channel of music."

AMK

Anthony M. King, better known as AMK, is one of my long-time friends from the cassette networking days. I’ve known him for over 20 years. I always loved AMK’s music, most of it based on extreme turntable manipulation. We’ve collaborated on several occasions over the years, some of our work together was released on a 1995 RRR cd titled “System-Music-End”. AMK’s turntable tactics, his unique way of creating looping, repetetive, abstract patterns was always inspiring to me. One of the first things I heard by AMK was a brilliant collaboration he did with Das of Big City Orchestra called “Floppy Night” created entirely from manipulating flexi disc’s. AMK is the godfather of a burgeoning community of artists in the Los Angeles area who are pushing the boundaries of turntable-noise artistry.
