A more rabid onstage showman than most of his Digital Hardcore colleagues (quite a feat of itself), David Hammer's Shizuo project also reflects the machinations of a more diverse music-maker and a rather humorous personality. The light-speed breakbeats and punk attitude of DHR flagship act <a href="spotify:artist:1EMlPfrse4I1I1hA3iwhk9">Atari Teenage Riot</a> are in abundance on Shizuo tracks like "Sweat" and "Emptiness," but <a href="spotify:artist:50zRydJXfkLzGIOj9mITfy">Hammer</a> also samples <a href="spotify:artist:4tpUmLEVLCGFr93o8hFFIB">Blondie's</a> "Heart of Glass" and sound effects from The Six Million Dollar Man as part of his sonic repertoire. Raised in Berlin, <a href="spotify:artist:50zRydJXfkLzGIOj9mITfy">Hammer</a> also lived in London during his formative years before meeting up with <a href="spotify:artist:3YGigudQiWDb5NdJOC5StS">Alec Empire</a>; when <a href="spotify:artist:3YGigudQiWDb5NdJOC5StS">Empire</a> formed Digital Hardcore Recordings and earned a large amount of money through a failed record advance, Shizuo was born for a 1995 compilation appearance on Harder than the Rest, alongside <a href="spotify:artist:3YGigudQiWDb5NdJOC5StS">Empire</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1EMlPfrse4I1I1hA3iwhk9">Atari Teenage Riot</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0j6rtPpOJntNlv3iad0Xcq">EC8OR</a> and others. In February 1997, he released the EP High on Emotion, followed later that year by the debut full-length Shizuo Vs. Shizor. The album received distribution in the U.S. through Grand Royal. ~ John Bush, Rovi
