As Head Mistress of Zhark International, she has been responsible for relentlessly fostering and producing the most evil breaks and noise since 1996. Besides being named "most prolific female producer" in hard electronic music, she has broadened her scope of damage to genres including Death and Black Metal in recent years, most namely with her collaboration with Austrian Metal demons - Belphegor. The past year has seen her tour the world with the most sinister and intense performances to date. Shows all over Europe, Japan, South America, Mexico, and America have left audiences enthralled and begging for more of her sadistic audio debaucheries.
Now stationed in a remote location on the West Coast of America, Hecate is getting back to recording - her next LP promising to deliver another excursion into the very heart of Darkness. In addition to all her solo efforts, do not miss the debut EP of her Industrial Black Metal band, Treachery, coming out this Autumn!!

There is no greater single force of personality in the scene than Hecate, the founder of the fiercely independent Zhark International label and creator of 10 year's worth of "the most destroyed and blasphemous electronic beat fuckery". Her sound is a dark, almost alchemic hybrid of blistering, stuttering breaks, power noise, and Eastern influences, and she has collaborated with numerous artists from across both the breakcore and the Satanic, Black, and Death metal scenes.
Hecate born Rachael Kozak and currently living in Basel, Switzerland is keenly aware of status as a female label owner and artist in a male-dominated scene; sex is a major theme in her work, along with death and the occult. One of the most extreme examples of Hecate's aesthetic is Nymphomatriarch, an album made entirely out of recordings of herself and Venetian Snares having sex on their two-week tour in 2003.
If you're getting the idea that Kozak is the scene's ultimate provocateur, you're not half wrong. But for all itâ's blatant shock value, Nymphomatriarch, like all her releases, is still highly emotional, dark music that kicks ass, blowing everyone else away for raw complexity and energy. Hecate is clearly a force to be reckoned with, a claim recently reinforced by the April release of her Brew Hideous (Sublight/Hymen) album.

£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
Hugs from Brazil, Claudio David

Adviruz is the artist psedonym of Istanbul’s Pinar Gurcan, whose growing passion for sound is translated through her music. Since an early age, she has been listening and mimicking opera singers, writing melodies, songs and poems in which she spoke her mind and reflected her soul. All of which are evident on "Nightly Sounds", an 8 track album which is the equivilent of having a glimpse into a diary, learning of love lost, gained, a snapshot of the human condition from which we can all draw experience... All of these things are developed musically into minimalistic glitch, noise, idm, experimental music and microsounds, its influences reminiscent of work by artists like Tujiko Noriko, Mira Calix, Plaid and Björk.
Adviruz and Section 27 present "Nightly Sounds", an intricately woven and rewarding musical tapestry. Available now for free download.
