Citadel Of Kaos

Real Name:
Jan Salisbury
Profile:
Citadel of Kaos tracks can now be found on Narcotix Inc, JAL, XY2 and FDN labels run by Stage One. Its name represents the mind changing effects of all forms of music particularly experimental Breakbeat. Citadel of Kaos has been producing music since 1992, starting on a label called 'Boombastic Plastic' and now producing a variety of Dance music ranging from Techno to the Breakbeat sound.

Jan is the main man in Citadel of Kaos. It was originally formed with Jason Cambridge (aka DJ A-Sides) in 1991. They released tracks on the label 'Bombastic Plastic', the most popular tracks being "E Z Man" & "Ronnie's Revenge", which put them on the map. Since then, Citadel of Kaos have worked with other producers such as Austin Reynolds and George Jones.

Citadel of Kaos have 12 titles in the 'released' catalogue so far. They are unable to predict how their style may change, they have already gone through the transition stage of Breakbeat to Techno and back to Breakbeat again. As Jan puts it, "All depends on how we feel". They intend to do what they do best and "strive for originality".

"My Machine and I" and "Exploding Dog" are their favourite tunes to date in the Breakbeat style. Where Trance is concerned "Spice of Life" is considered to be their favourite. "Feed the System" on the XY2 label, favoured by Jan, could be described as a cross-over between Breakbeat and Techno.

Future plans are plain and simple, 'an Album' for 2000 featuring the diverse tracks of Citadel of Kaos which will signify their originality in style and approach. Looking deeper into the future, they intend to venture into programming, working with musicians and merging real instruments with technology. There is a possibility that some respected producers may find themselves 'head hunted' to do some work, however for the past two years, Jan has depended on his own skills. All he really wants now is a vocalist with a bizarre voice.
