The brothers John and Paul Healy, collectively known throughout the world as Somatic Responses, are native residents of a small industrial mining community located in the southwest region of Wales.
Controversial electronic project. They started from usual hardcore/gabber beats and then evolved to more complex dark idm breaks. Typical SR style emerges in 1997 and reaches it`s top in 2000 with incredible "Augmented Lines". Then something happened and brothers started to infinitely repeat themselves, constructing albums from patterns used in previous works. While amount of tracks increases every year, SR sound almost stays the same and gradually looses it`s charm. Extensive production is not the best way for creativity.
Maybe the oldest and most mature IDM-Acid-Breakcore Act!
Since Mid Ninetees these two brothers mashing Up with most innovating material!
Allthough quality may varies between the outputs, they are allways bother comming up with most straight and heavy sound patterns, which are allways highly combustible!
Unlike other more danceable breakcore Acts, SR keep concentrating on a more Acid-Braindance kinda IDM style like Aphex Twin or Autechre.
Through highly intelligent Sound structures, it's never that easy to make it through the whole Album, though it allways pays off in the end!
