== Influences == In London, DJ Scud co-founded Ambush Records in 1997 with fellow producer Aphasic to focus on more extreme [[Noise music|noise]]-oriented hardcore [[drum and bass]]. Some artists released on Ambush are Christoph Fringeli, Slepcy, [[The Panacea]], and Noize Creator. "Scud and Nomex tracks like 'Total Destruction' helped create the blueprint for much of breakcore's sound, a high-bpm mash-up of hyperkinetic, post-jungle breaks, feedback, noise, and Jamaican elements paired with a devil-may-care attitude towards sampling that pulls from the broadest musical spectrum of styles (hip-hop, rock, industrial, pop, and beyond)."<ref name="Earp-2006">Matt Earp, [http://www.xlr8r.com/features/2006/07/breakcore-live-fast/ "Breakcore: Live Fast"], XLR8R, 20 July 2006. Access date: 8 August 2008.</ref> At the same time, [[Bloody Fist Records]] based in [[Newcastle, New South Wales|Newcastle]], Australia, released many records of [[Hardcore (electronic dance music genre)|hardcore]]/[[gabber]], [[industrial music|industrial]], and noise. Artists signed to Bloody Fist in its lifetime include Syndicate, Xylocaine, Epsilon and [[Nasenbluten]]. Label founder Mark Newlands said, in 1997, "I think that the uncomfortableness also comes from a reaction towards the mainstream and popular culture that's constantly shoved down our throats, that's forced on the people via television, radio, mass media, etc. I think that also fuels the fire and keeps the aggressiveness there and the uncomfortableness."<ref>Interview in ''Datacide Three'', October 1997</ref> Newlands described their music as products of "[[Cut, copy, and paste|cut'n'paste]] mentality" and an industrial environment.{{sfn|Priest|2009|p=85}} In her ''Experimental Music'', Gail Priest credits the label as recognized globally for its contributions to the breakcore genre,{{sfn|Priest|2009|p=98}}{{sfn|Priest|2009|p=68}} and for spurring its 1990s development.{{sfn|Priest|2009|p=85}} The Bloody Fist sound became breakcore from what was the noise genre, with added elements of high [[beats per minute]] and "extreme", thick, low-fi textures".{{sfn|Priest|2009|p=68}} By way of example, [[Nasenbluten]]'s 1996 ''Fuck Anna Wood'' exemplified this style with controversial [[Public affairs (broadcasting)|public affairs]] [[Sampling (music)|audio samples]] collaged into dialogue atop [[early hardcore]] beats.{{sfn|Priest|2009|p=68}} Formed in 1994, [[Digital Hardcore Recordings]] released music by artists such as [[Alec Empire]], Shizuo, [[Atari Teenage Riot]], [[EC8OR]], and Bomb20, shaping the breakcore sound.<ref name="Earp-2006"/> This label is also responsible for [[digital hardcore]], a genre developed simultaneously to breakcore. The Alec Empire album ''[[The Destroyer (Alec Empire album)|The Destroyer]]'' is often noted as the first breakcore album.{{by whom|date=August 2012}} English producer Shoebill has noted that [[autism]], and especially its interaction with [[gender identity]], has influenced "almost everyone" they know in the breakcore scene.<ref name="Dublin South 93.9 FM">{{Cite web |last=Dublin South 93.9 FM |title=Talking Tunes with SHOEBILL. |url=https://soundcloud.com/solidsoundfm/talkingtunes-shoebill |access-date=8 August 2024 |website=Solid Sound FM}}</ref>
