“MUSCLE AND HATE†is a collaboration between Sebastian R. Komor and XP8 . The idea behind this project came to life while Seb was listening to some classic Nitzer Ebb tracks in his studio, shortly after he finished the production work for XP8 's new album "Hrs:Min:Sec".
Already in the mixing process of "Hrs:Min:Sec" Seb couldn’t deny the fact Paul Toohill's, XP8 singer, voice had some pretty clear similarities with Douglas McCarthy's voice, which undeniably is one of the more unique voices in the electronic music scene.
So based on this revelation Seb, talked to Marco Visconti online and shared his idea of doing a tribute to Nitzer Ebb, in which Seb would to all the music and production, Paul all the lead vocals and the rest of the crew doing all kinds of agitated shouts and screams in the background. Seb also ended up doing the lead vocals for the track "Fun To Be Had".
The guys decided to mention this to Torben of Infacted Recordings as they all are currently on the label with other projects [ XP8 and Monofader ]. After a few mails back and forth it all was good to go: an EP with some remixes was the final goal.
