about

Hijacker AKA Laggy Pantelli since the early '90s has been a producer, live musician, and technical wizard. Better know in this period as Megalon the duo that involved Zeno Messis. Underground Science led Hijacker onto more experimental work in the studio spanning across four sub-labels under the Plink Plonk moniker.XP-88 the theme is primarily Detroit style techno, along with a fusion of electronica and broken beat.

XP-88 is the name of a control drug use covertly as mind control drugs developed by Albert Hoffman's unit at Sandoz labs under the CIA for enhancing superpowers for fighting situations. The name originated from US fighter jets XP-88 and in a similar way, the unpredictability to fight could enhance flight. The circumstances of control are to induce irrational fear that could either lead to self-destruction through martyrdom or kamikaze action in the programming of assassination and its aftermath. It begins with the annihilation of personality and then the reprogramming of the mind, films such as Jacob's Ladder and The Manchurian Candidate give us an idea of the scope historically how deep the conspiracy and paranoia runs.

XP-88 original produced by Hijacker kicks off with a techno military-style assault on the mind. The kick and grainy funk bassline riff work us through a journey of spacious pads stabs and a pulsating acid line that gives a sense of controlled movement towards a target.
Black Art {eugene Black] is a quirky techno-acid remix an approach which, continues the original mix with an oncoming sense of depth with sub-bass drops pads and stabs and a darker determination to enhance fight or flight! Watch Out!.

Hijackers' remix is more abstract and industrial working at the core on a minimal and deep level, driven by a gurgling baseline and filtered pad stabs and high-frequency sequences.
Kumo remix is a combination of cleverly crafted rhythmic patterns, broken beat and long drawn out pad drones, layers and twisted sounds that sets us in some kind of feudal ninja assault that builds over the duration of the track.

G-Prod is an electro styled melancholia work out, in keeping with a sense of aftermath drifting on a tide of luscious pads and strings over tight sub beats and funky baselines setting course on the lines of an electronic and soundtrack.
