Light Bringer
**333 copies** Light Bringer documents with pristine detail and gravity the live collaborations between Orphx and JK Flesh, two legends of early industrial techno and rhythmic noise. Consisting of one record each from Berlin’s Atonal Festival and the infamous Katharsis events in the Netherlands, these eight tracks show a peculiar flow and visceral funk rarely seen from live exchanges.

The listener is forced through time-…
