This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.
Boomkat, which stocked the label, still lists this record, filed under Electronic.
Dave Henson has been producing electronic music on the fringes of any discernible scene since the late 90s. Since 2010 he's been recording as Nochexxx, firing the influence of vintage electro and early bleep techno through an arsenal of barely-working gear to result on a sound that's a grubby as Wolf Eyes but with the unmistakable slap of late '80s Detroit. Plot Defender is Henson's third proper album under the Nochexxx moniker, and is his most developed to date, anchored by clattering tape-distorted rhythms and synth squelches that make the TB-303 sound well-mannered.
Made at Type.
