Ec8or (pronounced as Ecator, but actually is a contraction of Eradicator Patric used as his tag when spraying) was formed by gabba and chiptune artist Patric Catani, and former Lemonbabies member Gina Vaporjieff D'Orio.

The Ec8or "band" wasn't founded before 1995, any releases Ec8or was involved with before are solo works of Patric C.

Some tracks released under the Ec8or alias were actually E-De-Cologne tracks, probably supposed for release on Shockwave Records. When Patric left the gabba-scene they turned up under his new project.

The duo released 5 albums from 1995-1999 and have continued to record after the great DHR implosion of the millennium, and still collaborate often, although Patric and Gina are no longer signed to Digital Hardcore Recordings. Patric would later display his dislike of the state the label is currently in and said 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."

Ec8or is currently on a permanent hiatus although the duo played a one off gig in Dresden in 2005, and have recently collaborated under the name A*class, whereas Gina still performs in her other band Cobra Killer and with former Shizuo vocalist Annika Trost.
