Will Web

Will Internet is among a small number of youthful electro revivalists connected with Detroit’s Direct Defeat label, also house to such brands seeing that Aux 88, K-1, and “Mad” Mike Banking institutions. Like those performers, Internet was raised steeped in identical parts early hip-hop (Run-DMC, Ice-T), techno-pop (Kraftwerk, Gary Numan), and first-wave Detroit techno (Model 500, Cybotron), as well as the breakbeat bias of his music is due to those performers’ impact. A DJ through a lot of the ’80s and on in to the ’90s, Web’s initial release made an appearance under his DJ name Mr. Costs (he had taken the name in the Saturday Evening Live personality) over the Digital Sects II compilation on Sean Deason’s Matrix label. At Deason’s behest, Internet transferred a tape of unreleased materials to Mike Banking institutions (of Direct Defeat/Underground Level of resistance), resulting in the discharge of Web’s 1st DB 12-in ., “Cosmic Drive-By,” in 1996. He’s since released yet another EP (Extraterrestrial Phunk) and added a track towards the Direct Defeat compilation EP, Encounter Da Bass 2. Internet also remixed Cronic Tronic’s “Ruler of Bass,” also on Immediate Defeat. He authorized to the Astralwerks label in 1997, and released the Invasion EP later on that year.
