Bedroom producer Yeongrak (pronounced yong-rak) was the subject of a Bite feature by Shane Woolman in The Wire 390. Immersed in the worldwide online music community, the digital noise artist makes music at home in Christchurch, New Zealand. While browsing through YouTube, Yeongrak discovered the Digital Hardcore label. “At the time I was really into breakcore and I found the video to “Sweat” by Shizuo and loved it,” Yeongrak told Shane. “Shizuo is my all time favourite but I was also pretty into Bomb 20, EC8OR, Patric Catani and Hanin Elias.

“I think I’m just fascinated with gross stuff,” Yeongrak continued. “I’d been wanting to make music that made people grossed out or uncomfortable for a while. I think those body noises, along with a really amateur and poorly constructed sound, give it a creepy vibe. That’s what I’m trying to do.”

Yeongrak’s new EP Brainsoutclock is out now on End Of The Alphabet. Other Yeongrak projects include Goruo’s phenolphthalein, made with a friend from New Jersey, and a recent collaboration with Arizona based artist 97997ALMONDS, set to be released by Visual Disturbances/Emergency Tapes at the end of August.
