Also known as
Death Funk, DJ 6666 feat.Also a prolific and distinguished solo artist, producer and DJ, he has released well over a hundred albums, EPs and singles and remixed over seventy tracks for artists popular and relatively unknown alike.Early influences and career
At the age of ten, Wilke's love of rap led to a breakdancing career on the streets of Berlin.After leaving Die Kinder, he began listening to classical music and experimenting with electronic instruments.He eventually became fascinated by the rave scene, and, following German reunification, frequented underground raves in East Berlin, believing his native West Berlin scene to be too commercialised.Known earlier in his career as LX Empire he produced a great deal of what he refers to as "faceless DJ music".In 1991, while DJing on a beach in France with friend Hanin Elias, he caught the attention of Ian Pooley, which led to the release of a number of 12" records on the Force Inc.Nazi movement had invaded the scene, declaring trance techno "true German music".In 1992, the trio became known as Atari Teenage Riot (ATR).The two parted ways after only a couple of single releases, due to the band's refusal to play by the label's rules.He named it Digital Hardcore Recordings (DHR); "digital hardcore" would become a general term used to describe the direction his sound had taken.He recorded for Force Inc.He also recorded several albums for Force Inc.Mille Plateaux, including Generation Star Wars (his first full solo album) and Low on Ice, which he recorded entirely on his laptop during a three day tour of Iceland with ATR.In 1995, ATR released their first proper album, Delete Yourself!In that year, Empire and Mike Diamond signed a deal to release a number of DHR's recordings on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal record label in the United States.Listener opinion was often divided over the newer sounds ATR subsequently incorporated, and this, along with other factors, began to strain the band.Empire's output at this time would include his sole release as Nintendo Teenage Robots, and the bootleg recording Alec Empire vs.Alec Empire performing live in Prato, Italy on January 13, 2007.Empire also played a series of live shows performing material from the second disc of Intelligence and Sacrifice; one of these was released as The CD2 Sessions in 2003.Empire began 2006 by DJing at industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle's New Years Eve party.New York punks Most Precious Blood.The Golden Foretaste of Heaven, recorded with his new production team and touring band The Hellish Vortex, to be released in Japan on November 28, 2007.The second single release, the On Fire EP, is to be released on December 7.Live in Paris, a DVD featuring the Fuji performance as well as a French show, has also been announced for release on French label Nocturne.Style
Alec Empire's body of work spans a range of electronic (as well as conventionally less electronic) styles.His earlier releases for Force Inc.The creation of the Eat Your Heart Out label saw a return to a completely electronic approach with synthesized sounds and beats.Main article: Alec Empire discography
