Heathen Harvest: “This is the sound of the U.S. underground Breakcore scene, a quickly evolving genre, and Speak Onion is one of its masters.”
Village Voice: “ enough nasty, pixilated bass synthesizers and stuttered tripwire breakbeats to satiate a dozen warehouses packed full of revelers, but the relentless waves of twinkling keyboard figures underneath all that havoc come bearing cosmic melodic gifts.”
Regen Magazine: “Blending the intricacies of breakcore with the sheer power of noise, Metabolor is perfect for the breakcore fanatic.”
Friday Night Noise: “Stylophonic-esque synth flails and sirens a-shrieking, sticky-sick pulses a-gurglin’, nagging beehive blisters with interruptions that evolve into what sound like songbird massacres, itchy static scribbles, growling digital feedback wraiths, breakbeat patter so breathless it stutters. This shit is tight.”
Chief Magazine: “…deluge of battered beats and sharp hooks pushed to the frayed ends of sanity.”

Bio

As Speak Onion, Dan Abatemarco treads on, then completely explodes, the line between producer and noisician. He spews seething noise, giant deformed beats and absolutely wrong atmospheres in fits and starts until nothing sounds like what it sounds like anymore. Breakbeats and basslines enter innocently but end up processed beyond recognition and drowning in feedback. Synth sounds are stretched, manipulated, and left ruined as chilling shrieks.  The resulting sonic abomination slips between the dimensions of experimentalism, harsh noise, and beat-bashed breakcore.  Dancefloor? Maybe. Slaughterhouse floor? Yes, definitely.

Deep sub-basements, dank warehouses and sketchy bars are a natural fit for Speak Onion’s mutant sound.  Insisting on energetic, spontaneous, out-of-control performance, Speak Onion eschews a laptop for a cobbled together pile of hardware, intermingling synthesizers, wrecked guitar pedals, homemade sound destroyers and even an iphone.  He wants to up-end your party and leave your crowd with blown-out heads.  This cannot be overstated: Speak Onion loves playing shows and has the YouTube videos to prove it.

Speak Onion is NYC’s boss of drum’n'noise and is taking care of business every single day.
