	village voice > music > Kid606 "Down With the Scene" by Simon Reynolds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Vibert dis is a half-flippant, half-earnest gauntlet to the first-wave IDM luminary whose 1995 EPs as Plug pioneered what was later christened "drill'n'bass," a mini-genre based around the intensification-through-caricature of jungle's breakbeat-splicing technickery.
		The other two-thirds of the Kid606 sound spectrum are even noisier: gabba's distorto-blare riffs and stampeding kicks, and the hums, crackles, and tics of "glitch" (all that post-Oval music made from damaged CDs, abused equipment, etc.).
		Attitude-wise, Kid606 reminds me a bit of mid-'90s U.K. riot-grrrl banner carriers Huggy Bear—the same petulance and obstreperousness, the divided impulses between communicative urgency and hermetic encryption, the exaltation of youth (Depredo is the real deal, whereas Huggy sloganeered about being kid's-lib guerrillas but turned out to be the oldest teenagers in London town).

	* Dusted Reviews - Kid606 *
		The problem with all of this, however, is that it is not really a mash-up album at all, and to call it as such greatly discredits Kid606.
		It is not horrendous, nor is it a spoiler, but its lazy fuzz is certainly incongruous and disappointing given the caliber and energy put into the album's first 3/4, and may have been better served on Kid606's next Mille Plateaux release.
		However to those who fully appreciate the Tigerbeat6 mission statement, however vague it may be, it should fully satisfy as a step in an exciting, and totally new direction.

		idm was dying, and it took people like kid606, blectum from blechdom, cex, lesser, matmos, etc. to revitalize it.
		Kid606 and his labelmates have a Tourette's syndrome-like compulsion to deflate the pomposity of electronic music.
		kid606 has toured relentlessly across the world, playing to some of the most diverse and, at many times, frustrated audiences possible, playing festivals, rock clubs, raves, underground warehouse parties, art gatherings, and everything in between.

	Kid606 - The Illness Ep: Silent Uproar
		Kid606, after tearing electro, noise, IDM, punk and hip-hop into tatters on his mindfuckingly brilliant 2000 album Down With the Scene, is back with a brand new batch of genre-bending songs that have been swirling inside the Kid’s laptop for some time.
		Although Kid606’s latest full-length, Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You, is scheduled to be released in the coming months, he adds this five-song teaser to his wrath of EPs and singles to mount anticipation as much as it pleases your audio appetite.
		The opening track is the highlight of the EP, but the nine-minute, epilepsy-triggering “Ecstasy Motherfucker” is a close second as the track twitches violently at 160 beats per minute with enough body-writhing venom to make any DJ drool.

	Kid606 press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In the somewhat rarefied world of experimental electronic music, there are few musicians who provoke such intense and often polarized reactions from their listeners as San Diego’s kid606.
		Kid606 is perhaps best known for the joyous/furious mixture of hardcore/gabber, system-overload noise and raging breakbeats on releases such as Don’t Sweat the Technics and Dubplatestyle.
		In a recent e-mail interview, he rejected the notion that there might be a definitive Kid606 style, instead describing his approach in more personal terms.

	Kid606 - Resilience - Review - Stylus Magazine
		His work irritates some, but even those who dislike him usually are willing to tip their hats to his, shall we say, Resilience.
		By titling his album as such, Kid606 seems to be playfully mocking his critics who begrudgingly acknowledge his most enduring trait even though they might not enjoy his music.
		On Resilience, Kid606 has flipped his usual theme of ideas per minute to minutes per idea.

		With that album, the Kid proved to the world that he had processing and compositional skills to rank him amongst the heavy hitters of the genre.
		It's a solid collection, but ultimately suffers a bit because the remixers come from a similar aesthetic background and don't seem to be challenging themselves or the original track.
		Violent Turd offers the third installment in the Shotgun Wedding series, in which a pair of artists each contribute their own DJ set to the same disc.

	Kid606: Resilience: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Because of who Kid606 is and what we know of his obsessions, there's a hint that perhaps technology has become an impediment to love.
		From there Kid606 feels from to wander, from dark new wave in the tradition of Gary Numan ("Done With the Scene" and "Sugercoated") to bubbly reggae ("Phoenix Riddim" and "Hold it Together").
		The textures are not novel and are not supposed to be, so a record like this is going to live or die on the basis of its tunes.

		Various electronic musicians and friends of kid606 construct remixes of his earlier work, which are mixed in with the occasional "new" work of the kid himself.
		The result is reminiscent of the "Supergroup" syndrome of rock's past, where celebrated musicians formed a faux-band, not out of a spirit of collectivism, but because they could make a quick killing on the charts.
		The work on kid606 and friends vol.1 is as strong as kid606's prior work; there's no reason for it not to be, as long as he chooses talented remixers.

		California's foremost electronic trickster, Kid606, makes his Soul Jazz Records debut on the 'Microsolutions To Megaproblems' sub-label and this follows on from earlier electronic releases from the likes of Kit Clayton, Ammon Contact and Sutekh.
		Kid606 flips it back to a sound more reminiscient of his down with the scene, but this time mashing on rave, hardcore and jungle.
		Not repeating himself while managing to tread on all previous musical terrain kid606 has treaded in his relatively short musical career, New Zealand's Violent Turd label is proud to present this strictly limited edition Kid606 album unreleasable by any other record label.

		I hate the way that when kid606 puts out a record that it has to be better than the last and it has to get all this attention for being fucking crazy and exciting.
		I love that I can make a record that doesn't have to try to be bigger or a progression of the last one.
		But I love that, cos' that means we don't have an audience that just like us blindly, and say I love that release because its on blahblahblah and everything on blahblahblah is great.

	Kid606 - Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You - Review - Stylus Magazine
		he reason Kid606 is so thrilling to listen to is because he taps into an aspect of the sound pioneered by Richard D. James and company that often gets left behind; the giddy sense of humour.
		Miguel Depredo has always been a bit of a prankster when it comes to his music (see the excellent, illegal The Action Packed Mentallist Brings You The Fucking Jams), but even at his earliest and most fragmentary he’s also been deeply talented.
		He does lots of neat things, and in the hands of a musician with less energy, humour and talent than Depredo, this album could easily be more fun to think about than to actually listen to.

	Kid606
		Kid606 also demonstrates a fluency in stuttered percussion which gives this work longevity; each consecutive listen yields some spectacular layer or element which was hidden before.
		uhpl1 - 13-Aug-01 01:49 PM A good way to start listening to Kid606 is to buy "Down With The Scene" and then go home and turn it up really loud right when the first track starts and wait about 10 seconds.
		Kid606 shines the brightest on his whispier more emotional songs, like the 15th track on down with the scene, and a couple tracks on "ps, I love you." There is of course times when gabber-fast noise is just what is needed, and kid606 has lots of that.

		Born in Venezuela as Miguel Depedro, Kid606 now lives in San Francisco, where he runs the Tigerbeat6 label out of his comfy abode.
		In many ways, the style of Kid606's music mirrors the role he has established for himself (or been thrust into by the music press) in the electronic music scene.
		Like his cohort Lesser, his music and attitude sometimes serve as a healthy middle finger extended into the faces of the trainspotting IDM ("intelligent dance music") set.

	KID606
		Miguel Depedro (aka Kid606) has been on the vanguard of digital music since he was, well, a kid, chopping up techno, deglossing hip-hop's slick artifice and doing so serious a number on drill 'n' bass that Aphex Twin and Squarepusher ushered in the new millennium nervously looking over their shoulders.
		Tigerbeat 6, the label that Kid606 has been running for the past four years, has yet to make its catalog available to digital retailers, however.
		It's a collaborative project organized by Wall of Sound that brings techno gods to Jamaica's legendary Geejam Studios together with dancehall MCs such as Bounty Killer and Beenie Man to see what type of chemistry they may accidentally concoct.

		The intensity of his productions combined with his tireless touring, dynamic live shows, and ambitious label-running (Tigerbeat6 and its offshoots Violent Turd and Shockout) have made Kid606 one of the most visible figures in underground electronic music.
		Such visibility—and undeniable talent—probably explains why fading psych-rock heroes Butthole Surfers tapped him to open for them on their last American tour and why Mike Patton's Ipecac Records issues his work.
		The astonishing work rate continues, as he alludes to several collaborations and four in-progress Kid606 albums.
