Bryan Zentz (USA, Disruptor)
At an early age Bryan was taken-in by the attitude and reckless freedom that hardcore/punk, graffiti art, hip-hop, and different forms of electronic music offered.
He started off playing with hardcore bands influenced by DC area punk like Bad Brains and Minor Threat, studied the production techniques of Marley Marl, Mantronix, The Bomb Squad for Public Enemy and Eric B & Rakim, and further fused the industrial sounds of Skinny Puppy and Caberet Voltaire. Bryan traverses boundaries to guide us through an historical musical journey.
