Scorn was
created by Mick Harris in 1991 to create rhythmic, hypnotic drum and
bass music, later pushing the uniqely throbbing low end, ethereal
sounds and immense beats into new uncharted musical territory and,
in the process, has redefined the world of ambient dub. Scorn has
emerged as a god of both the post-rock and isolationist aesthetics;
appropriating such distinctly communal musics as hip-hop and dub to
extreme, individualistic ends. Living, breathing nightmare music for
huge dub soundsystems, the Scorn sound fills the room and wraps you
in
a dark, warm and gentle embrace of low frequencies... as a soundscape
of moans, screams and muffled howls breathe in and out of the speakers
to create a setting for brutal introspection and self-confrontation.
Refreshingly brutal.

boss Stormfield was born in the Far East, relocating to England to
pursue electronic music. He co-ordinated with the Liquid Injured Hearing
radio sessions for Fuel Records on Breaks FM, and now runs Combat
while regularly DJing various soundsystems in England and abroad.

back out again in fluid, danceable form to create the Combat sound.
