Breakcore Gives Me Wood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Breakcore Gives Me Wood is a Belgian breakcore party crew, operating from Ghent, Belgium. Since 2002 they have thrown over 30 parties in Belgium, often in squats or abandoned buildings. Half a dozen of these have seen attendances of over 1000 people. The average being about 500, the largest being 1600. They try to let touring international breakcore artists play in Belgium for an entrance fee no bigger than 5 or 6 Euro, without making a loss. Currently they organise events in legal venues for slightly higher entrance fees.

Wood have released one compilation CD in 2004 under the name Wood Records. A 7" by Droon had been in the pipeline since 2004 and was finally released in 2006. A sickboy 12" "musical therapy" and a Cardopusher 12" have been released as well.

The first Wood party was a benefit party for the Smart Art Movement held on October 26, 2002, post-humously entitled Wood 0. Original members were Sickboy, Droon, Terror, Blunted Beats and later Val (of The Gigglin Dildas). They got together via widerstand.org. The night featured Sickboy, Droon, Tim Terror, Mush and Sederka, Evol and _*_ (Blunted Beats). Smart Art Movement supported and helped organise Wood parties until the Wood crew had enough experience to do it by themselves.[1]

As of 2007 the Wood residents are Sickboy, Droon, The Gigglin Dildas, Xanopticon, (Tim) Terror and (Rick) Mayhem. The first four are live acts, the final two DJ's. Flyers and posters for the Wood parties and all other artwork are designed by Droon.
