Alec Empire : DJ6666 feat. The Illegals
 
“What if civilization and all systems broke down from one day to the next?“
 
Suddenly, we realized we had been standing on the edge of a huge cliff the whole time. One wrong step and we would fall into the void.
Would the death of the nation-state liberate us or push us into hellfire, a dark hole? How long would humanity, or what‘s left of it, need to climb out? Thousands of years ?
 
I looked at my hand. No shaking. I was completely calm. The others seemed nervous.
In the fall of 1997, I felt a war coming. Every day the sky was dark, grey at best.
On the surface society pretends people have something like manners and do things for the ‘common good‘. When in reality they just do it because thousands of guns are pointed at them 24/7.
 
I woke up in a hotel room, not remembering where I was.
But the dream I just had felt real.
The ocean was covered in burning oil.
Birds were on fire, the sea creatures deprived from oxygen.
The waves and the firestorm were raging.
And no land in sight. No sun. Then a face on the ground, smashed to pieces.
Blood was everywhere. Whoever this person once was, his identity had been erased. In dreams we don’t feel pain.“
 
Alec Empire‘s DJ6666 feat. The Illegals is still regarded as one of his most sexual explicit and violent projects of the late 1990s.
The first album ‘Death Breathin‘ was released as a limited edition vinyl on Digital Hardcore Records in London UK.
It was immediately sold out and has had a strong cult following ever since. Record collectors often refer to it as ‘Alec Empire‘s serial killer record‘.
 
Alec Empire spent a few nights over the Christmas break to master and mix the whole recording session from October 1997.
The result is brutal—a 20-track double album that takes no prisoners.
 
Alec Empire - DJ6666 feat. The Illegals is out now as a special double album edition.
