Review: Tannoizer / No Name - The Icon of Sin E.P. (Rotten 02)


No Name! What can you say about her? One half of the Michelson sisters. French legends. Producers of the *smartest* Hardcore in the 90s.
And No Name still gets going. One of the few veterans of the underground that's not Missing-in-Action... (or got killed in action!)

Now, most other former legends, who still churn out releases, either turned to Mainstream Hits'n'Shits, or keep calculating on their old formula.

No Name on the other hand, is amongst the only ones who *advanced* the sound and dare to do something different, something creative.

So it's nice to see a return to vinyl once more.

Now to Tannoizer's side.
Another veteran, this time of the dangerous Italian underground - remember Exitus?
And if the german 90s hc scene was made up of intellectual punks, and the french scene was hippies-turned-dark, then Italy was about unleashing the brutality.
Don't believe me? Look up some "number one" videos on the 'net.

And that's what his tracks are. Remember when someone 20 years rammed his elbow into your teeth during gabber pogo and you started to spit blood in the discotheque? This is the sonic equivalent.
Straight HC into your face!

Rotten 02 drops on November 15, 2025.
