KNIFEHANDCHOP
Knifehandchop is 21-year-old producer Billy Pollard from Toronto, Canada. He's been making music since the age of fifteen, when the arrival of a computer made the trials, tribulations and compromises of band life a thing of the past for him. Without looking back, Billy took to the computer and began crafting beats and sounds rooted in influences ranging from hip hop producers (like Timbaland, the Neptunes and RZA) and underground electronic producers (like Venetian Snares, kid606 and cylob) to hardcore producers (like Hellfish, DJ Traffik and DJ Radium) to a diverse record collection that includes industrial, metal, rap, techno and noise. The end result is an energetic, diverse sound that takes on many styles: jungle, techno, pop, dance, electro and more. Knifehandchop tracks drop hard beats on top of melodies, noise, and lots of choice samples of sometimes questionable legality. This is electronic music, pure and simple; done with lots of emotion, humor and energy.
ANIMALMONSTER
http://chumpco.com/~fototag/blocks/start.htm
This is the not only the rousing debut of Animalmonster, but also the record breaking longest record we've ever put out. A mind breaking 27 minutes of instrumental electronics that feels like YMO crossed with the Morr Music Catalogue multiplied by 200% energy. Probably the most untroubled and happy record we'll ever put out. Guaranteed to put a giant smile on your face. Also, the first 100 copies feature incredible, totally excessive packaging. It's not even sane, there's hand-embroidery and glow-in-the-dark ink and stickers and sleeves and all this stuff. It is mind blowing!
c64
Chris Minifie, under the moniker of c64, consistently chooses to push the boundaries of the jungle, extreme breakbeat scene, known amongst its listeners and producers as breakcore. His trademark unique mixing style, one that combines long mixes with frequent use of the cross-fader to devastating effect; is a recombinant, kamikaze, bricolage that takes two disparate elements, and cuts and chops the beats to create a new sonic experience.
Owner of Dross:tik Records, the label had its first release in 2003 with 2CD compilation entitled “Brick Smack”, which received an honourable mention from none other than Simon Reynolds as one of the outstanding compilations of the year 2003. With future releases (vinyl/CD) by local and international artists already lined up, Dross:tik is trailblazing a path in the Toronto music community.
Splinter Productions, a grassroots promotion company started by himself (along with dj vox), is dedicated to pushing the sounds of underground breakbeat, with various local and international guest over the past 3 years, including the first Toronto performance by Venetian Snares.
In the Canadian Criminal Code in part two of the Offences Against Public Order section c64 is the definition of a riot for the purposes of the offence of
rioting in section c65.

Knifehandchop
WHO IS THAT KID BEHIND THE LAPTOP?
Knifehandchop is the alter ego of 23-year- old Scarborough native and erstwhile gabber/death-metal/ragga enthusiast Billy Pollard. Don't let his age fool you -- Pollard's been releasing electronic music on London's Irritant Records and Kid606's Tigerbeat6 label for over five years now. His latest album, out now via Tigerbeat6, is a remixed compilation of previously released 7s and 12s called Rockstopper. On it, you'll find traces of everything from chart pop and booty to jungle and noise, all of it ballasted by a breakneck beat and a bratty, pre-adolescent playfulness. It's where Ja Rule comes to mingle with bleep and bass, and it's a lot of fun.
Tellingly, Pollard's blaring a record by Sepultura offshoot Nailbomb when we reach him at his parents' place in Scarborough. He's home to finish his proper new full-length, but he's resigned himself to the likelihood that he'll have to leave the country to tour. See, despite the fact that he's always worked out of Toronto, Pollard's cachet comes from Europe and Japan; the discrepancy between home and away is now so great that he rarely even performs here anymore. "I've played like so many empty shows here, and that doesn't happen in Europe," he says. "They seem to like electronic music more there. Here, people think electronic music went away after The Chemical Brothers."
AND SOMETIMES NOT EVEN A BOOTY JAM CAN CHEER YOU UP
Home to Cex and DJ/Rupture, Kid606's Tigerbeat6 label has evolved to become a choice resting place for art-school laptoppers. In addition to compiling Rockstopper, the label is planning to release Pollard's new full-length, How I Left You, in August. It's an endeavour Pollard jokingly refers to as his manic-depressive album.
"I made it during a period that I kept breaking up with my girlfriend and then getting back together thinking it's gonna work and then breaking up again," he laughs. "My emotions were really up and down at the time, so on the days I felt good, I'd rip a reggae a capella and do a soca song, and the next day something would go horribly wrong so I'd do a track with guitars and vocals. There's lots of highs and lots of lows."
THESE KNIFE HANDS MAY CHOP, BUT THEY DON'T MASH
While he may have orchestrated clandestine meetings between Eminem, Destiny's Child and Vengaboys in the past, Pollard is not fond of being slapped with the mashup artist tag. There's a difference, he maintains, between beatmatching The Doobie Brothers and Ladytron and simply trying to push things forward.
"Until people start combining things, everything just stays the same," he says. "In hip-hop right now, it doesn't seem like anyone's risking anything, and that's too bad because hip-hop was always leading."
Ask him what he likes about hip-hop and he hits back with reverence: "Timbaland. He's the best. The Neptunes used to be good before everything sounded like Latin guitar. I guess they found that ladies market and stuck with it."
New Neps aside, is there anything Pollard won't try to spin into his sets? "I really don't like trance or deep house," he says. "And, um, trip-hop sucks. But everything else is pretty cool." MARK PYTLIK
Knifehandchop plays Altered Beats at Thymeless (355 College) July 9.
