Testube Was Formed By Jeff Danos In 1994. Approaching Each New Musical Release As An Experiment In Sound Jeff Fuses Atypical Idm Industrial Glitch And Ambient Textures Into Complex Cohesive Compositions. Introduced As One Of Several Experimental Audio Projects Of Jeff Danos Testube Wasted No Time In Developing A Reputation As One Of Those Rare Electronic Acts With A Surplus Of Unpredictable And Innovative Ideas And A Knack For Stylistic Reinvention. After Several Self-Released Cassette/CDR Releases On His Own United Endangered Front Record Label From 1995 To 1998 Testube Followed In 1999 With His First Widely Distributed And Highly Successful Bioplaza Concept Disc. Quickly Capturing The Attention Of Deejays The Music Media And Discerning Listeners Across The Globe Testube Was Signed To DSBP RECORDS In Late 1999 To Release The Full Length Remix Disc Reconstructive Surgery In 2000. Featuring Diverse Remixes By PAIN STATION BIOPSY TRYLOK B!MACHINE THINE EYES ONEIROID PSYCHOSIS And Other Innovative Electronic Artists Reconstructive Surgery Quickly Infected Clubs And Radio Stations Across The Globe. Reconstructive Surgery Remained In The CMJ National RPM Top-20 Charts For Six Weeks Peaking At The Number 4 Chart Position In September 2000 Alongside Electronic Contemporaries THIEVERY CORPORATION JUNO REACTOR And A GUY CALLED GERALD. Responding To Requests From Die-Hard Testube Fans For More Music Testube And DSBP RECORDS Also Released The Limited Edition Bioplaza Revisited Disc In Late 2000 Featuring Additional Remixes And Previously Unreleased Tracks. Jeff Then Returned To The Spotlight By Applying The Testube Remix Treatment To Songs By BIOPSY NOXIOUS EMOTION THINE EYES PAIN STATION DIVERJE B!MACHINE And The Highly Anticipated LEAETHERSTRIP Single Titled Carry Me. After Three Years Of Obsessive Studio Immersion Intense Sound Manipulation And Frustration With The Direction Of Modern Music Testube Then Presented The Highly Controversial CD Titled Corporation. Offering An Inside Look At The Dysfunctional Clockwork Of The "American Dream" And Its Dependence On Corporate Anti-Justice Testube's Sound Crept Even Further Into A Gray Area That Knows Few Stylistic Boundaries Or Limitations. After Several Relocations Some Soundtrack Work A Handful Of Remixes And A Bit Of Soul Searching Testube Withdrew From DSBP Records In 2007 To Pursue New Channels Of Exposure And A Fresh Perspective. Shortly Thereafter Jeff Danos Joined Forces With Longtime Friend Jonathan Chalker From The Dark Electro-Pop Acts MINDPEG PENETRATOR And LOWHERO.DLL To Form GLIM RECORDS. In 2008 Testube Released The Free Covert EP Meshing Jeff's Signature Chaotic-Yet-Uncompromising Style With Classic Post-Punk Wave And 4AD Dream Pop Flavors. An Extended 10-Track Version Of The EP Included Remixes From PTYL DIGITAL DIRT HEADS R010R LOWHERO.DLL And TYPE001. In May Of 2010 Testube Returned With The Full Length Off Purpose. Further Refining The Electronic 'experimental Pop' Approach That Began On 2008's Covert EP The Quirky Unpredictable Nature Of The Music On Off Purpose Was Complimented With Special Hand-Assembled Packaging. Featuring A Hand-Screened Arigato Sleeve With Randomly Applied Rust/metallic Ink And A Trigger Ejector Case Off Purpose Was Truly A Work Of Art And An Immediate Collector's Item. A Remix Album Titled Unintentional Soon Followed Featuring Remix Contributions From In Virus Tandem R010R Unterm Rad Type001 LowHero.DLL And Justin Lassen. Two Years Later Testube Constructed His Own Off-Grid Cabin The Ozark Mountains Where He Experimented With A Simpler Lifestyle Without Running Water And Electricity. During This Time Testube's Output As An Electronic Musician Was Coincidentally Hampered But He Continued To Write New Music Building Up A Cache Of Unpolished Songs. A Handful Of These New Tracks Appeared On The 2015 Atavistic EP. By The Time That The Covid Pandemic Hit In 2019 Testube Had Decided That He Had Gained Enough Perspective From His Simpler Living And Had Already Chosen To Get Back "on The Grid". Working With The Many Working Tracks He Had Shelved During His Abstinence From Electricity He Assembled Seventeen Of These Songs Into The 2022 Backwater Album And Hired Alex Stilts Of Orbit Room Audio To Master Them. Originating From A Ten Plus Year Spread Of Songwriting The Tracks Are Diverse And Personal But Retain The Signature Testube Sound And Have Garnered Much Critical Praise. The Current Incarnation Of Testube Mixes Glitch-Laden Precision Edits Experimental Rhythms Disfigured Pop Melodies And Multi-Layered Aural Textures To Render A Unique Sound Experience With Few Comparisons. Armed With A Plethora Of Tech-Bending Ideas And A Hunger To Promote The Values Of Individuality And Improvisation In A Sometimes Languid Music Scene Testube Is Focused On Presenting Both A Captured And Live Experience Like No Other. read less
