EC8OR

Ec8or as a duo was founded by gabba and chiptune artist AK-78") are solo works of P. Catani.

Some Shockwave Recordings, came out under the Ec8or alias eventually, after Patric turned away from the gabba scene in the mid 90's.

The duo released 3 albums and several 12"s and singles from 1995-2000 for Digital Hardcore Recordings (DHR) until leaving the label within "the great DHR implosion" of the millennium. Patric would later express his displeasure about the situation with the label, saying in an interview: "The fact that all the bands surrounding Atari Teenage Riot just got used for their sellout idea – to have a whole “movement” and “followers” – led to psychological warfare which some people didn't survive. There was no trust anymore at some point and no communication, it was necessary for me to leave that behind."

Ec8or is on a permanent hiatus since 2001/02, although the duo played a one-off gig in Dresden in 2005, and collaborated occasionally, as for their one off project Cobra Killer.
