In the world of gabba, the harder-than-hardcore techno sound that developed in Europe during the '90s, few artists have enjoyed the longevity or influence of German producer Marc Acardipane. His profile is largely due to his inhuman productivity; since his first releases in the late '80s he's put out hundreds of EPs and singles under a bewildering array of pseudonyms. Arcadipane's footprint extends well beyond the boundaries of gabba—he's been cited as an influence by IDM icon Aphex Twin, and has recorded for revered highbrow techno labels like Tresor.
