Ryan Friedrich, better known by his moniker Xanopticon, is an electronic musician.

One of breakcore’s most prominent producers, he has toured internationally and released music with several electronic labels including Hymen Records, Mirex, Cock Rock Disco, Entity and Tigerbeat6.

His live shows are often noted for their intensity and his sound for its attention to detail, having been described by one journalist as “waves of breaks”.

Xanopticon’s output features dramatic dynamics that alternate between frantic IDM/”post-drill & bass” and more subtle, melodic ambient music, and his sonic heaviness has been compared to labelmates Venetian Snares and Fanny, as well as Belgian flashcore artist atomhead.

Yes, I have to admit: Mr. Friedrich is in another musical level. Don't listen to him like before, but he's still one of my favorites.

The best. Anyone who says Venetian Snares is better is mentally handicapped.

I wonder why Lockjaw isn't first. The amount of detail in that song is downright sick. I bought a new sound card just for that song. The 9 seconds break near the beginning is nerve-wracking, especially when you did too much drugs.

I have to admit, I love this guy even more than Venetian Snares. I've been a big fan of the latter for a long time, and I only just recently came across Xanopticon. I don't know how to describe it, but there's something about his music that is so listenable—it's rich, innovative, and strangely relaxing.
