2nd Gen has received critical acclaim from numerous diverse sources
but actually defining this intense music deviation is close to
impossible. Containing fragments of techno, hip-hop and rock with a
driving industrial noise mentality, Wajid Yaseen's unique musical
project is a bulldozing distillation of genres, intertwining and
contorting sound to serve his will.His primary desire, manifesting
within his inspired compositions, is to constantly challenge himself
and those who are listening. As Wajid himself said when interviewed:
"what the fuck are we if we don't take risks ??"
Born in Manchester, Wajid's formative music education fluctuated
from the influence of his Asian family to the encompassing sound of
mid-eighties electro and extreme thrash of The Boredoms and Sonic
Youth. Re-locating to Sweden in his teens, he formed a punk band
who performed using only damaged and broken equipment. The resulting
clamour of feedback and distortion seeded his affinity for
extremes.Re-locating to London several years later, Wajid joined the
group Fun-Da-Mental as bassist and unofficial noise-makerÆ and
toured with them for two years. It was around this time he began
work on the initial archetype for 2nd Gen, and consequently released
the Noise Sculptures EP through Flo Records, a totally unique
assortment of stimulating breakbeat noise that was difficult to
ignore. It wasn't long before the NovaMute label expressed an
interest in 2nd Gen which gave Wajid the opportunity to push his
creative urge to much wider territories. In 1998 NovaMute released
the overwhelming Against Nature EP unleashing a radical new sound
force to critical acclaim from the unprepared world of NME, Kerrang,
Wax, DJ, Melody Maker, Jockey Slut....The logical progression for
Wajid was to increase the aesthetics for his 2001 debut album,
'Irony Is'. and, from the seductive rhythmic undertow of 'And / Or'
to the slow inexorable drive of 'Scarred' to the urban funeral blues
of 'Black Spring' (featuring Gallon Drunk's James Johnston), the
album delights in confounding expectations.Skills and techniques
sharpened, Wajid has since produced the latest album for London
industrialists Leechwoman, and has remixed an eclectic array of
bands including Depeche Mode, Robert Miles, Venetian Snares and
Hawkwind. Alongside 2nd Gen, Wajid has collaborated with performance
artist Gail Sneddon on Project Preservation and Case 22 and with
Germseed's Alice Kemp on a project called Uniform, described as
fractured electronic free-jazz. He also presents a show on London's
Resonance FM, advocating further experimentation (one particular
show consisted solely of Wajid and Digidub destroying a piano with
sledgehammers!)His latest album titled 'Flicknives' to be released
on the fiercly independant Quatermass label, again threatens to
break down any expectations of what can be done with sound. 10
tracks ranging from the melancholic opener 'Evox' to the sonic
thrill of 'Middle Finger Motif' to the stripped rawness of 'Sliding
into Stereotypes' - even more seductive and adventurous than ever.
Personal greetz to : BCC , BFHMP3 , CMG , DPS , FWYH , HiT2000 ,
radial , SEVER , SET , ViC and all those i may missed.

MORAL DiSCLAiMER: We are very aware of the fact that our releases
contribute to the growing sale losses of record companies.
Unfortunately our style primarily targets small, independant labels
that need sales to survive.
For these reasons we ask you not to distribute this release on public
sites or P2P tools; if more and more receive their music from the net,
artists and labels will have to face even less sells than nowadays.
Please do not consider this release as a substitute to the original, but
only as a way to check out and learn about new music.
We absolutely do not approve of DJs or other individuals that earn
money from pirated music - Don't let them get their hands on it!
By buying the albums you like you disperse the guilt we feel by
releasing this music - Enjoy the music and be fair with the artists!
YOUR support is required to keep them financially alive and producing!
