Few women in music can compare to Nic Endo, the modular synth-warping magi behind the classic Nineties album, Cold Metal Perfection, and beloved comrade of Berlin’s enduring digital hardcore pioneers, Atari Teenage Riot. As Atari’s frontwoman, a vanguard architect of experimental noise, and as an activist, feminist, and socially-conscious aesthetic icon, she is something of a patron saint to the Nightvision world, and a significant influence on why we even exist as evangelists of extreme ideas in electronica and beyond.

The elusive Grinning Alec Empire in his natural habitat, ladies and gentlemen. Documenting this rare sighting was a herculean task only accomplished by famed naturalist David Attenborough after months of observation and hours of waiting around with a team of cameramen.

The discussion with Alec Empire is about half-way in.
Three things.
- My massive crush on Alec Empire is not helped by him being intelligent, erudite and opinionated. Nor is it aided by him having a lovely smile.
- I want my own Alec Empire hologram to talk to.
- Should the zombie apocalypse come, his brains are still on my top 10 list for the inevitable time when I succumb to the zombie plague (sorry Alec).
Alec spent most of the gig at the back of the stage, working the decks. Eventually he did come out to do some kickboxing and crowd surfing. Alec looks amazing, it must be said: jet black hair, handsome looks… this man doth not ageth. Marry me, you bastard!

This true. Alec Empire looks no different now to when I saw him like… 10 years ago.
God. And his brains. He’s on the list of people whose brains I would go for first, should I ever become a zombie.
“People can argue as long as they want to, but our society is using wars to make a profit – it’s the economy. If people can live with that, fine. I can’t, for some reason.”

I can’t remember whether I got into Atari Teenage Riot or Alec Empire’s solo work first but this track (along with The Ride) is certainly up to the standards Empire set with ATR. A thumping, lumbering, droning abomination of a track. And as for the video… hot goth chicks, subversion, a club full of renegade reject clones and the frankly brilliant inclusion of black Monroe clones, superb.
