DDR (live)
This man is the godfather of acid techno, mapping out the blueprint of 303’s over hard techno trance beats for Stay Up Forever, Smitten and his own Hazchem and C.O.S.H.H. labels. Genre defining tracks such as “Unlucky Punk”
with D.A.V.E. The Drummer, “The Rabbit Names Was…” with Julian Liberator, “High Noon In Gotham City” again with D.A.V.E. The Drummer and the mighty “Mad Cows On Acid” for Smitten, have brought acid techno to a world wide audience.

It was at this time that she began producing under the guise of ‘Rebel Yelle’ for ‘Stay Up Forever’, followed by more collaborations on other labels.
