Bio: JK Flesh is a moniker of English musician Justin Broadrick employed for his solo work within heavy electronic music. Broadrick's usage of the title spans back to his work in the 1990s with Kevin Martin (a/k/a The Bug) in Techno Animal, but he first released a solo studio album as JK Flesh in 2012.
Unlike Broadrick's most well-known projects, Godflesh and Jesu, his work as JK Flesh is electronic and (apart from Posthuman) lacks metal riffs.
Over the years, the project has shifted into a more minimal, techno and dub sound while retaining its industrial influences. The project has also become very visible in the industrial techno scene and has seen Broadrink perform as Jk Flesh in legendary techno clubs like Berghain, Fabric and Tresor.
Broadrick's electronic work was informed by the early rave parties he attended in the early 90s seeing Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Plastikman and Aphex Twin as well as his friendship with fellow Brummie Karl O'Connor better known as Regis, the head of Downwards Records.
Broadrick also went on to call Dillinja his "favorite producer of filthy bass and cutting breakbeats, absolutely direct, textures unlike any, the ultimate DnB producer".Broadrick has also credited Moritz von Oswald's dub techno projects Basic Channel and Maurizio as well as his record label Chain Reaction as a main influence on JK Flesh.
