IRRITANT

IRRITANT are a live tekno duo, OB1 and Chill, who performed live, unsequenced techno at underground clubs, squat parties and warehouse raves in the late 90s and early 00s. The emphasis was always on live production values and a raw warehouse-style sound.
2001 saw the launch of their own vinyl imprint, Isotope Recordings.
All recordings were unsequenced, performed and recorded live to emulate the feel of the duo's live act.
Only one release ever made it to the pressing plant - 2001's offering ISO1201, featuring the tunes "Science Faction" and "SubTerrain". Although the record proved popular and despite the fact that Irritant had already recorded the next two releases (ISO1202 and ISO1203), Isotope Recordings have not pressed another record... yet.
Chill went on to form new record label Dirt Box with Dave Wired, also recording under the name "AudioSapien". Dirt Box have so far enjoyed 5 excellent releases, with the sixth on the way.
OB1 has just set up a new mobile studio/live rig and is currently working on solo projects as well as a collaboration with new Irritant member Graham Acidic. OB1 & Graham are putting together a new Irritant live p.a. which they will be taking out in the next few months!
