Ebola

Ebola, the pseudonym of UK producer Ben Hudson, is a cornerstone of the mid-2000s breakcore and experimental electronic scene. Based in Devon and deeply connected to the Brighton-based Wrong Music collective, Hudson's work as Ebola represents a bridge between the 'drill-and-bass' innovations of the late 90s and the more aggressive, noise-oriented breakcore of the 2000s.

His sound identity is defined by extreme rhythmic complexity, often exceeding 180 BPM, utilizing intricate breakbeat chopping that borders on the mathematical. Throughout his career, Hudson has moved fluidly between genres, incorporating elements of grime, mutant dubstep, and harsh noise, often within the same track. His cultural position is that of an underground provocateur, using transgressive titles and samples to challenge the seriousness of the electronic avant-garde. Critically, he is respected for his technical proficiency in sound design and his ability to maintain a 'live' energy in programmed music. His influence can be heard in the works of contemporary glitch and deconstructed club artists who prioritize rhythmic instability and textural grit.
