Recyclone is the strange man brooding in the unlit corners of independent hip hop. This Halifax-based multidisciplinary artist creates work informed by diverse interests -- death metal and art, doomsoon theories and mechanical rhythms. With three albums under his belt, Recyclone has established him as one of Canada's leading voices from the edge of experimental hip hop.

Recyclone: The Labourer

I was raised in the country. By grade 10, I knew I had to leave someday. I was drawn to the city and all its mysteries. Once I got there, the shroud was quickly discarded and the harsh truth of the city was revealed. The air was polluted with the smell of burning carcasses from the rendering plant. I was woken from my sleep by trains passing late in the night, shaking my house. I worked the backshift at a corner store and witnessed the underbelly of humankind. After reading doomsoon theories about the end of the world, I started building an urban suit of armour. I felt that I was the only one awake in a world of sleep walkers. I tried to be very calculated in my daily routine. I admired the machine for its never ending
ability to work without end. But I was not a machine and I broke down. I have feelings. I make mistakes. I am not perfect.
