Komprex

Since the beginning of 1998, Komprex aka Fabio Di Benedetto is present in the extreme music scene as a producer. Based in La Spezia, a small city on the italian west coast, he started listen to electronic hard music when he was just a child: in 1993 he bought his first cd "Techno Shock" and start to become a distorted sound addicted boy. But be just a listener it's not good so he tried to produce something during the years with his old Amiga and then in '98 with his first PC and a basic program: Modplug Tracker. Favourite style was high bpm speedcore and terror and after few months he was member of a lot of worldwide "trackergroups". His style become better track after track and a lot of people liked it. Since 2001 he played in a lot of parties to diffuse the Italian Speedcore message. His principal label was the italian Cerebral Destruction, but he released also two autoproducted CD then on USN, Underground For Ever, Special Forces, Speedcore Records and Masters of Speedcore. Today Komprex is one of the most appreciated extreme artist. Aphex Twin played his track Worldwide Shit in several 30000people parties since 2003. In a period when the speedcore/terror scene is composed by too much low quality productions, the italian way makes the difference. Since 2004 he left Modplug and started using the pro tracker Renoise and two years ago he switched to Mac OS X and its well know software Logic Pro. In 2009 he released a project with Noisekick on Masters Of Speedcore with brutal and a industrial metal tunes and on Psychic Genocide and Noistorm with Dj - D-Tox with some new industrial tracks. His style is becoming more raw and technical, the brutal and fast production are now mostly reserved for the group Speedkore, with Komprex as singer and producer, making a remix of the track "Caught in the Crossfire" of The Berzerker and releasing the first split EP with the italian death metal band "Lacerater". The style of the band is cybergrindcore and they played like a metal band in parties such as Hellraiser vs. Megarave, Ik Ben Je Bitch Niet and Ground Zero Festival. Last year one of his track, played several times by Aphex Twin was included on an ATP documentary and in 2010 he released a new brutal track on Headfuck Records and new "hardsound" productions are coming on Neurotoxic.
