Blasting Days readers should already know that Justin Broadrick isn't only an ex Napalm Death and doing Godflesh, he's mostly active nowadays as electronic/industrial music producer, and have done that sicne the nineties. As Tech Level 2 he's doing old school jungle, withe some eerie atmsospheres and an abrasive sound. the Indifferent EP is four track of raw jungle excellency.

JK Flesh - New Religions Old Rules (2022)

Justin K Broderick isn't just Godflesh and Jesu (well, that already would be a lot... but...) his also an active producer in industrial techno music. New Religions Old Rules is his foruth release of the yaer as JK Flesh and my favorite one with the split with Gnod (reviewed that one HERE). Abrasive and dark pulsating indus tech. Recommended stuff.

G36 vs JK Flesh - Disintegration Dubs (2021)

G36 vs JK Flesh - Distintegration Dubs is a split album with Justin Broadrick as JK Flesh (the name he uses for his more electronic music) and Kevin Martin with Gorgonn, his live collaborator in The Bug, as G36. Unsurprisingly, this is dark and heavy industrial dub music. And of course it is excellent.

Orphx / JK Flesh - Light Bringer (2019)

Light Bringer is live collaboration between industrial techno duo Orphx (Christine Sealey & Rich Oddie) and JK Flesh (Justin Broadrick when he's doing techno music), released by Hospital Productions (the label of Dominick Fernow the man doing Prurient and Vatican Shadow), sounds good isn't it? Just click all the right boxes... And it does live up to the high expectations and delivers some excellent industrial techno/rythmic noise, often instrumental and sometimes with Broadrick holding the mic. Each of the eight tracks (recorded during one show in 2016 and another one in 2017) are really good, no fillers, just excellent industrial tech thrown at your face from masters of the genre. Heavily recommended.

JK Flesh - Suicide Estate Antibiotic Armageddon (2017)

Suicide Estate Antibiotic Armageddon is the reunion of two cassettes released last year by JK Flesh (Justin Broadrick). Compared to the more linear and techno (with noise and D& B elements) Rise above, also last year, I feel SEAA is closer to the older Broadrick sound, heavier, more dub and industrial noise. Excellent tracks.

Council Estate Electronics - Arktika (2016)

Council Estate Electronics is one of the project of Justin K. Broadrick, here in duo with Diarmuid Dalton. Their new album, Arktika, is the third one, and I think the best. The music is ambient electonics / industrial dub. While the first two were ok but a bit too ambient too my taste (let's say it, a bit boring actually), I think the new one is great : heavier, more rhythmic, which brings more diversity, and also the melodic elements, always subtle, are more presents, which also helps making the music more "multi-dimensionnal".  Arktika manage to sound at the same time quiet and slightly menacing. First half of the album is best but overall it's great stuff!
