"We corner Saucy Bastard Ben, a.k.a. DJ Nfin8 (as in "Infinite"), and drag him outside. Dressed in a red-and-black-striped shirt with a perpetual boyish grin and black horn-rimmed glasses, he seems like a deranged Torah student on X. But later on, we'll catch him humping some hottie in the loo, without a Bible in sight! For baggin' a babe in the bog, he gets big ups from us, for real."

I was born to hard-working, first-generation middle-class parents in semi-rural Ohio. Raised by working class parents of coal-miners, sons of immigrants and children of the depression, they were baby boomers to be the first in their family with college educations and to enjoy middle-class luxuries. Like many others of their background, they developed into adulthood seeing a world of opportunity in America. Like many other children of their generation, I share in the paradox of their optimism and the recognition of the reality of a country in rapid cultural, economic and ethical decline.
I became a musician at the age of 12. I was first a percussionist and was formally trained in orchestral percussion and rock and jazz trap kit drumming. I am also a self-taught guitarist. I played in several bands, ranging from punk to industrial, not many lasting long enough to have a substantial output. My punk bands, The Roswells and The Cling-Ons, had a few releases. My hardcore band, Hell Is For Heroes, played some memorable shows in Phoenix in '00-'01, and I played with some incredible people and musicians in that band. I currently play lead guitar for a post-punk band, called Glamour Shot .
I grew up with many musical interests, from industrial to punk, metal to hip-hop, and new wave to hardcore. The only music communities (or "scenes"), however, that I ever got actively involved in was the punk and hardcore scenes. I produced a fanzine from 1995-1999 called "Interbang." I had considerable success, in terms of consistency of publication, advertiser support, national distribution and critical review. I sold all the ads, did almost all the writing, almost all the photography and all of the layout, and dealt with web-offset printing companies, starting at the age of 17.
My disillusionment with traditional music led me to frequent experimentation with electronic sound. My first recorded examples of this experimentation were released as the "Memorial: 006306" EP by Clew Of Theseus . At the time of its recording and release, I wasn't even aware that there was an entire community of harsh noise artists that the sounds I recorded easily fit into. My only possible influences would have been Einsturzende Neubauten and the experimental sounds of "Our Earth's Blood" by Man Is The Bastard. Other than their recordings, I had no reference for noise. With the release of my first 7", I found an entire world of wonderful music, and for the past 10 years, I have been recording and releasing haunting harsh electronics under the name Clew Of Theseus . A ten-year anniversary retrospective series (of sorts) is coming to fruition this year.
In 2002, I began recording Power Electronics, as EMESIS . EMESIS' intention is to hone in on the feelings of misanthropy and focused hatred of individual and group actions worth of contempt and the desire for retaliation and revenge. The name itself is inspired by being constantly sickened to the point of nausea by my species, and dwells in the drive to erradicate the evils that men do by erradicating mankind. The project is very apolitical and amoral, and instead focuses on the emotions of contempt and disgust and the drive for revenge.
Being a music fanatic, it's only appropriate that I'm also a DJ. My first experience as a disc jockey was working for WOBC in 1996-1997. My radio show "As Mainstream As They Wanna Be" was broadcast under the assumed title "DJ Lee Harvey Oswald." For the last 3 years, I have also been a club DJ and promotor. Some events I've produced are CLUB HELL (fetish-EBM), Retrospect ('80s new wave), The Hive (eclectic music mix), Dive (indie rock and electro), and Purgatory (gothic and EBM). I have guested at Filthy/Gorgeous, Pretty Vacant (with Daniel Ash), Shake! and many others locally, as well as The Chamber in Cleveland and Vector in Las Vegas.
I have worked in executive-level jobs and earned a six-figure income before. I gave that up because I couldn't make that kind of money and have much of a life left. One day I hope to find a way to be financially independent and live a life I enjoy. Until then, I'll take the latter any day.
My girlfriend, Charmon, has brought more happiness to my life that I could have ever imagined. She's perfect for me. She treats me with complete respect, and I worship the ground she walks on.
I have a Belgian Malinois dog, and a cat named Guppy. I now, also, have two new cats, since Charmon moved in. Guppy hates other cats, but I really like my new kitties, Celie and Mister.
I took a cool test on my religious views...
.. You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.

CLEW OF THESEUS live at Sid Copeland Memorial @ Jugheads, April 29, 2006, with assistance from my good friend, Ryan Ludlow:
My Projects:
Cathartic Process Label : I've been releasing harsh noise and power electronics on the Cathartic Process label since 2000. I promoted and performed at the Phoenix Noise Fest at Perihelion Arts in 2005. The beheamoth, "OUR EARTH'S BLOOD, IV" from Bastard Noise, a 5- disc set is coming very soon along with almost a dozen other releases.
Clew Of Theseus : I've been producing soundscapes of haunting darkness and electronic destruction since 1997 under the name Clew Of Theseus . My first full length was recently re-issued by Cipher Productions in Australia. My second full length was released by Harsh Noise in San Francisco. My third full lenth is on my label, and the next one is due out shortly. I have released splits with Black Sand Dessert, Sewer Election, and Richard Ramirez, and have been featured on many compilations, including "Forced Womanhood" and "At The End Of A Rope," alongside some of my favorite artists.
CABAL: Cabal, open since June, 2008, is one of few stores of its kind in the U.S.: a store exclusively devoted to real industrial culture. We carry nothing but industrial, noise, power electronics, neo-folk and dark ambient. No dance music or phony industrial (EBM). Nothing but filth, decay and destruction. Industrial culture for those without fear.
CME: Coronal Mass Ejection is a more traditional noise project I do with John Luna. A 7" release is forthcoming.
EMESIS : The first live action was in November, 2005, for this Power Electronics Project. The next one was February 15, 2006. A full-length is nearing completion. This release will be released by Nil By Mouth in Italy. I have a track on GX Jupitter-Larson's "Zelphabet" series, including some source material recorded with Eric Wood and Bill Nelson of Bastard Noise. Another full length is in the works for Trev Ward's (Grey Wolves) Open Wound label.
Hell On Earth Productions : CLUB HELL was launched on New Years Eve 2005 with our party at the Paper Heart. A monthly fetish industrial club launched on May 20, 2006. A new '80s classic alternative Friday night weekly club, Retrospect, began at Rogue Bar in August, 2007.
DJ Nfin8 : I am a resident at CLUB HELL in Phoenix and Retrospect in Scottsdale. I have spun at lots of places in town, including Shake, FILTHY/GORGEOUS & Pretty Vacant, and used to run weekly clubs Dive and The Hive.
Perihelion : I was a partner in the Perihelion Arts gallery at 15th Ave and Grand in downtown Phoenix.
Glamour Shot: I play guitar, as well as some synths and programming, for Glamour Shot. We are a post-punk band drawing influences from David Bowie to Joy Division, Iggy Pop to Bauhaus.... But we don't really sound like any of them. Our demo will be available shortly.
