The Anti-Sedative EP was the first EP on vinyl by me that was released back in 2000. Now 19 years later the tracks are here on a digital re-release. This is an example of the first style of music I produced in, Experimental Hardcore, Breakcore and Speedcore, which has not much focus on melody (although the first hints of that can be heard in "Disharmonic" for example) or Techno methods, or New Wave asthetics, as in my newer tracks. This release played an important part in my personal history and opened up the door for later releases, lots of gigs, and other adventures. We have two Speedcore tracks here, clocking at around 400 BPM, two early Breakcore track with a promiment disharmonic mood, a remix of an old videogame tune (together with Knifehandchop) and an attempt to do a kind of twisted Electro track. These are all the original tracks as I sent them to Hardy of Blut Records, with the exception of Sadstep which comes in a 2019 remaster that I think stays true to the original.
There is some story to this release and I wrote it down some time ago, so here it is:

"in 1999, i already had sent out dozens of demo-tapes. emailed as much labels. but, so far, no one was interested in releasing a full EP by me. i had some tracks on compilations - biophilia allstars, irritant. but not a true release yet. so i walked in the otaku record store here in my city, hamburg. i had seen hardy, of fischkopf, working at the container record store before, so i know what he looked like. he ran blut records now, out of the otaku store. i bought a record, i think it was somatix on deadly systems, that just came in, and left. next week i came back with a demo-tape i had recorded for this purpose. i walked up to hardy and said "you are hardy?". he said "yes". i said "you're doing blut records right? i have a demo tape here for your label, with my music". he looked at me with a bit of bewilderment. i gave him the tape. "you are doing this music?" he asked, still a bit sceptical perhaps. i said "yes". a week later again, i came back. he said he had listened to the tape, and wanted to make a vinyl 12" with my music. it would be the last 12" of blut records."

Review from back in the day:

Six tracks that come from all over the map. My current favourite is Flatline, a truly distorted number punctuated with the sort of sounds I associate with extreme speaker damage... Wonderful. A close second is the drum'n'bass-ish Sadstep. On the whole, the three tracks on the a-side are the more agressive cuts, while the flip side ranges from Electrocution (which sounds like some sort of perversion of new wave) to a remix of Knifehandchop's Neuromancer (seemingly a tribute to an old C-64 classic?). 617/666
