Rough, raw and gritty are common descriptions for

Industrial Hardtechno artist Criminal Mayhem’s style. Blending vintage and analogue gear together with modern digital production techniques further characterises his uncompromising sound. This results in atmospheric and distorted music that can tear down any club sound system.

Starting off 2024 with brand new music on labels like
Kursed System, Broken Strain, and Falsive, his music has
received support from key artists in the scene like 6ejou,
Karah, SNTS, Kobosil, Paula Temple, DION and Kozlov, to
name a few.

Criminal Mayhem sets himself apart through hybrid live

performances with a modular synthesizer and other hard-
ware, featuring live improvisations and lots of unreleased

and specially created music, which has brought him the
recognition of big names in the scene. With club and festival shows in countries like The Netherlands and Germany, he’s ready to take his career to the next level.

The founder of the label “GRIT Rec.” always makes sure to
immerse audiences into a distinct industrial sonic world.
