From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nasenbluten were a Newcastle, Australia recording and performance group, who pioneered hardcore techno, gabber, amigacore and cheapcore music. The group was founded in the early 1990s by Mark Newlands, Aaron Lubinski and David Melo.

Most Nasenbluten music was produced on Amiga personal computers using tracker software in the MOD format. Nasenbluten self-released a number of cassettes on their "Dead Girl" vanity label at the time they first started playing house parties in Newcastle. Following from the relatively mediocre success of Dead Girl cassettes, Mark Newlands founded a serious record label and music distribution small business called Bloody Fist.

Nasenbluten inspired a large number of local musicians, leading to a hardcore techno scene in Newcastle, which emphasised performing music in cheap venues. As a pioneer and leader, Nasenbluten's emphasis on breakbeats, ironic audio samples and compressed kick-drums became influential in hardcore techno.

Nasenbluten is the German word for nosebleed.

In 1996 Nasenbluten released the single "Fuck Anna Wood" on limited release vinyl, as a commentery on the moral panic in the press surrounding rave parties after the death of Anna Wood
