Kid606 lives in Berlin now and returns to the Very Friendly fray with the vinyl EP Die Soundboy Die, six original songs (9 included on the CD) that devour and warp current musical trends like dubstep, bassline, ragga, techno and rave (both old and new) in his very unique and original way. These songs are all dark and scary bass-heavy jams made to help celebrate life while thinking about death. Hopefully stopping short of being a concept recording, every song is different in style and tempo, but a clear musical ideology links these songs together. The louder these songs are played, the better they will be felt. Tested on soundsystems and PAs worldwide, these songs have the low-end to make your ass shake and stomach rumble, all with mad respect to the dub and bass legends and current artists who have influenced him. Die Soundboy Die is the perfect teaser for Kid606's completely different, much happier full-length album Give Up Then Get Down coming in early 2009. Accurate words from diskant.net: "Perhaps one of the most straightforward things he's done. Straightforward in the sense that it's fantastic, pounding technojoy of the highest level. Absolutely dominated by pulsatile, growling bass lines, there are obvious dubstep grooves here, but delivered at the restless, aggressive pace we've come to expect from 606." Kid606 has taken the signifiers of classic electronica from the past decade (bits of jump-up, techno, hardcore and bass line all take the lead at various points) to create a miniature tour de force of dancefloor-fillers.

"Not repeating himself while managing to tread on all previous musical terrain kid606 has treaded in his relatively short musical career, New Zealand's Violent Turd label is proud to present this strictly limited edition Kid606 album unreleasable by any other record label. Even tigerbeat6 wasn't able or willing to release this lazy IDM equivalent to 2 Live Crew's legendary Banned in the USA: a unmistakable Hyped up, overclimactic, plunderphonic gabber rave hiphop opera that lasciviously lifts voices from the familiar, lingers luxuriously to tease out their deeper meanings over ambient washes of sound,big booty beats, soulful r&b technoidmhouse, presents the shrill and stifled scream of voiceless punk angst alongside whiplash raga jungle snarerush rinseouts, and deposits all these musings on disc to be savored by the few consumers worldwide who will actually be able to obtain this album! This release reflects kid606's growing interest in the human voice as an instrument along with the need to live dangerously and not work with other musicians. His desire, long repressed since teenage metalhead induced social trauma, to work with vocalists and make their waxing wanings the jewels in his velvet settings gets full reign as he brings you the fucking jams. Spell it however you want?SPZXWYU or QVBLJIC, PROLIX or BOLLOCKS or FLUMMOX?all these words will get you points in Scrabble! But after listening to the post-pop lollygagging of these lemon-flavored lollies, your only conclusion will be that kid606 is MENTALL with a double L!"
