about
This track maintains a clear link to the original, albeit sped up to 172bpm, and maintains the same sense of claustrophobic, almost medieval harmonies. Long, slow grooving drum loops, abounding with heavily distorted toms pound and crunch over the haunting harmonic landscape.
As the track progresses further layers of lead synth gradually build with close harmonies until the track reaches its climax. This track infuses dungeon synth influences into a track that was already fit to soundtrack the dark ages.

SImeon crafts dark and compelling electronic music and is 1/3 Kaneda Records collective; you can catch him precariously placing full cans of beer near expensive equipment whilst performing live as part of a number of projects in the North East.
The ako projects were the first things we released on the label and really kick started the whole project. 'Chaos Rains' is an absolute beast of a track and you should hear his early dubstep projects, see Chris Maltby for an illegal copy. Ever enjoyed the visuals at any of our shows? That's sim too. For the whole intense experience, watch his live video from his Wire NCL live set -

"Avoiding clichés of dance music and creating something thought provoking. He uses VHS footage, modified games consoles, PureData and computer animation to create arresting audio-visual performances and experimental video"
