Redzone is a multi-genre band from London, England.
They were pioneering in their use of real instruments that are then sampled and processed, and of the Internet to distribute music and video.
After recording demos in 1997, they released two MP3 web singles in 1998, "Torrid/Crime of Passion" and "Layer6/Body Craves". Their debut CD "Modified" came out in 1999 on their 'Phasechange Recordings' label, and was followed by "[digital flesh]" in 2005, containing an interactive, multi-threaded CD-ROM video.
Redzone were credited by Wired and Reuters as being the first band to tour in Second Life in February 2007.
They co-promoted and performed at The Scorched Earth Festival, which took place on May 1, 2007.
The third Redzone studio album, 'Abstract Revolution' was released on June 20, 2008, and a track was played on BBC Radio 4 on March 15, 2009.
The "White Sun" DVD was released on December 12, 2008.
A single, ‘Film Noir’ was released on May 27, 2010, and the White Sun DVD soundtrack album on November 20, 2010.
The first in a series of 4 download-only EP's, 'Ultrastructure Volume I' was released on May 1, 2011 at the Mayday Mayhem Festival in Second Life. The event was curated by Redzone.
