Biography

Exploding from out of nowhere, like an aneurysm in a closed mind, comes genCAB, combining genres and rewiring the sound of EBM for a new generation. Dissatisfied by the direction that modern dark electronic music was going, David Dutton kept “generation CABLE” in the shadows since its inception in 2003. Rather than tapping into the trends of sci-fi fables and faux wartime glory stories, genCAB writes

intelligent and thought provoking personal lyrics about whats relevant to people as a whole. The product of an 80s generation graciously raised on television, genCAB supplies more depth than what the dance floor has to offer. Now on the surface, the project that almost never saw the light at the end of the tunnel is causing many peers to rethink their own art and is guaranteed to open new minds to the Industrial scene.

…but our opinions are certainly not our accomplishments

More a personal exploration than anything else, genCAB draws influence from not only some select EBM, but also IDM, trip hop, and some rhythmic noise. Lyrics tend to mirror frustration mostly, even delving into the subject of writing his own material such as on Expired Inside, although the material also has a few good dance songs like High Tech Low Life (in earlier version having the name Me & Malaise) and Self Images, for instance.

Remixes have been produced for Unter Null, Aesthetic Perfection, Autovon, Cyanotic, and Cesium_137. The first full length, “II transMuter”, released in 08/26/2008, is coproduced by Isaac Glendening of Cesium 137.

    Yeah, the tags are screwy but...why the hell have so many tagged him as IDM? Just because he listens to Autechre and Gridlock doesn't make this music that. Sure there are _elements_ of that sound in this music, just as there are (minute) elements of trip-hop as well. Doesn't make it that either. It's modern industrial/EBM, nothing more, nothing less. I really dislike genCAB showing up when I'm listening to IDM last.fm radio.

    something about this Dutton guy in general makes him outstanding. perhaps this something is his personality which can be seen through his lyrics. perhaps i'd even call it "ideological independence"

    After getting the II Transmuter from vampirefreaks for free (thanks to your twitter post) i instantly fell in love with it, but i have to say that the end of the album is by far in my oppinion the best 2 last songs to an album ive ever heard, they just go so well together. i love it. And as a result im buying the album as i think you whole heartedly deserve every fucking penny you can get. Thanks for the music.

    Of all the industrial bands I listen, genCAB's vocalist's voice is the best and most memorable!
