It’s a wet, dark Monday evening. You were up at the crack of dawn for work. It was a heavy weekend. You feel a cold coming on. What better way to revive yourself then than “a night of noise, drone and floppy disks” in a crumbling south London backstreet boozer courtesy of Diskette Etikette Rekords, a label that brings you the rejuvenating likes of grindcore, powerviolence and low bit exclusively via the medium of 3.5in floppy disk. Ask your dad about them.»

Despite going both directions and ending up not far from where they begun, struggling to leave behind the detritus of a genre so one dimensional it makes Ke$ha look sophisticated, 'Stone' and the sinister, glacial 'Architect Of Love' offer hope that NYPC could yet escape the new rave grave.»
