Twisted Science: “Magma Hum” (Blown, Lo Recordings 1999)

As Twisted Science, Jon Tye always operated in the furthest outskirts of drum & bass — remember when “breakcore” wasn’t a thing yet and “drill & bass” was the name often applied to the most spastic and coarse offshoots of the genre? Twisted Science always betrayed even that description, always unpredictable in his combination of extreme noise, distortion, beatmaking, atmospheres, and sound mangling.
