The success of their 1987 singles "I Got the Fear" and "Strap Down" encouraged Dangers and Stephens to quit Perennial Divide in 1988, and Meat Beat ultimately evolved into a full-time gig that now stands as one of the most influential acts in electronic music. Tapes for the duo’s debut album were destroyed in a fire, and the band’s first disc, 1989's Storm the Studio, comprised just four songs. Curiously, it included three mixes per tune, veering from noise rock to hip-hop and dub. Despite such diversity, US audiences pegged the Brits as an industrial act thanks to their deal with seminal industrial label Wax Trax!. The band relocated to the US and formed a sort of political collective with Consolidated and Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy (whose first material was co-produced by Dangers). Two Meat Beat Manifesto releases arrived in 1990: the jazzy 99% and Armed Audio Warfare. Writer/producer Dangers ultimately emerged as the creative force behind Meat Beat Manifesto, and in 1992, Elektra signed the duo and released their first “techno” album, Satyricon. Embarking on a tour with Orbital and Ultramarine solidified this image, and Dangers was soon being hailed as a forefather of the drum n' bass movement. The band’s relationship with Elektra was shortlived, and for 1996's landmark double album Subliminal Sandwich, they were back to the indies. At this point, Stephens split. A 1998 deal with Trent Reznor’s nothing label paved the way for Dangers’ greatest commercial exposure to date with the album Actual Sounds and Voices, as well as a slot on the soundtrack for The Matrix. He also embraced the Internet by releasing a limited edition album, Sounds of the 20th Century, through Sputnik 7. Credits as producer and remixer include tracks for Public Enemy and David Byrne; he’s working on a DJ mix album in the Tino’s Breaks series; and he’s experimenting with a new side project dubbed Tape Music. A new Meat Beat Manifesto record is in the works, as well.     Meat Beat Manifesto Martenot Waves MP3 Electronic MUSICBLITZ is making Waves again -- "Martenot Waves," that is, a brand new MUSICBLITZ Exclusive from seminal electronic artists Meat Beat Manifesto!
