Container

Ren Schofield, a veteran of the American noise underground, makes broken, distorted, experimental techno under the name Container. Recalling the likes of D.A.F., Surgeon, and Legowelt, Container proved to be one of the most exciting "avant-techno" artists to emerge from the late-2000s electronic underground scene and, most importantly, he was the one who could really pack a punch and make a lasting impression. Over the course of four full-lengths (all titled LP) for the Spectrum Spools imprint, and several records for other labels, Container's music evolved from trippy, standard-tempo techno to a form of revved-up electro-punk, overloaded with noise and even bearing some semblance of melody. Yacker, his sixth album, arrived in 2024.
