Alec Empire is undoubtedly a veteran, having released his first record while still at school. At the age of fourteen he formed his English-speaking band, Die Kinder (The Children), supporting bands like Die Toten Hosen. With his last band, Atari Teenage Riot, he incited rebellion, while still finding time to battle as a DJ with Q-Bert and Mixmaster Mike, and make more remixes than most people have had hot dinners! Though maybe primarily known for his groundbreaking digital hardcore recordings, Alec has from the very beginning been a highly respected artist in other fields for his experimental releases and remix work… , and has always shown a desire to push his sound in new directions.
In a 2002 edition of Kerrang Dave Grohl stated: “He’s Alec’s number one fan…Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) met Alec backstage at a gig in Australia and declared: ‘You inspired me!’” (…and we have the witnesses to prove it!)
Empire’s first post-ATR solo album, Intelligence and Sacrifice (2002), on Digital Hardcore Recordings lead to the English press calling him a rock god. Photos from a Japanese show of this era feature 20,000 kids enraptured as Alec, Charlie Clouser (Nine Inch Nails), Nic Endo (Atari Teenage Riot) and two drummers give it their all. Intelligence and Sacrifice went on to sell impressive numbers and won a Kerrang award.
After great success during his time in London, including the creation of the genre-defining label Digital Hardcore Recordings, Alec decided to return to Berlin and start afresh.
