AOTW | 19 February – 25 February: Qebaxugon – ��▀̿▀̿▀̿ �☐ � ☐� ▀̿▀̿▀̿��
Hardvapour is notable for its incorporation of industrial and noise music into techno beats. For most artists and albums, the “noise” stops at static overlays or significant distortion.

ANIMALMAN returns for a new full-length with HVRF called RANSOMWAVE. This seven-track EP contains techno-influenced hardvapour music that could easily be an alternate soundtrack to the first Deus Ex game.
