Tribute To The Audio / Visual Irritant Mix

The 90s Breakcore / Experimental / Hardcore scene is gone. What is left are its releases, on vinyl and - sometimes - CDs. But in the end they distort the picture, or rather, do not give it in full. Only some tracks of that scene found their way to a vinyl or CD release, for many reasons - lack of funding, lack of interest, or "strictly underground" attitude ("more than 5 listeners for your tracks means you sold-out"). There was also a second sector, of music shared by other means, first tapes, then later online (predating mp3 with glorious encoding formats like Realaudio) or on CD-Rs (or mp3s on CD-R). So let's focus on the tapes for now. One of the labels featuring these was Irritant, and the legendary Irritant tapes show a rare glimpse into this "sub underground" of Experimental Hardcore, Early Breakcore, Post Industrial or pure noises.
