Vandal: A sonic saboteur carving his name into the free tekno underground with unapologetic force. Hailing from the UK's fiercely independent sound system scene, Vandal isn't just playing music; he's dismantling expectations and rebuilding them with breakbeats, distorted basslines, and a DIY ethos. His sound is a potent cocktail of hardcore, jungle, and gabber, injected with a healthy dose of rebellious energy inherited from the squat party movement. Vandal's journey began within the walls of Kaotik Soundsystem, a collective that's become synonymous with raw, unfiltered rave experiences. He quickly established himself as a driving force, both behind the decks and in the studio, crafting tracks that are as likely to incite a mosh pit as they are to trigger an existential crisis on the dance floor. Beyond his own productions, Vandal has collaborated with titans of the free tekno world, cementing his status as a key player in the scene's evolution. Releases on respected labels and appearances at prominent free parties across Europe have solidified his reputation. He continues to push the boundaries of electronic music, ensuring the spirit of DIY rave culture remains alive and kicking. His most recent explorations delve further into the heavier realms of industrial and breakcore.
