BuyD13.012. Released by D13. This full-length release is composed of several brand new tracks, rare releases, and powerful live versions, each track pushing the signal to the red, employing a unique mixing style that allows the sounds to bleed into each other, creating a harmony in the overdrive. With 10+ years experience of shaping and controlling distortion in sound, Bombardier brings a new approach and innovation to the hard techno genre. - 7 tracks (00:00)
BuyD13.007. Released by D13 and Eupholus Records. Inspired by the addition of several Electro Harmonix analog pedals to the studio, the music on VII is the result of several weeks of studio sessions with the Novavation BassStation and Roland R8. The release is filled with eerie and hallucinogenic electronic sounds in a continous flow of 7 tracks, each an aural exploration of a Deadly Sin. - 15 tracks (00:00)
BuyD13.009. Released by D13. Film score for "Plasterhead," a feature-length independent horror film released in 2006. "Ellis", named after the town where the film takes place, contains dark atmospheres, experimental percussion, and filtered film dialog. The directors wanted no recognizable instruments in the score, so the recording process consisted of innovative ways to play traditional insturments, as well as a thick layer of analog synths and effects. - 8 tracks (00:00)
BuyD13.003. Released by D13. Based on the experience of 9-11 in NYC, Hiroshima is named after a decrypted message describing a "Hiroshima in the United States" shortly before September 11th. Track after track of dark drum n bass, beginning with the remix of Cdatakill's Shapeshifter, completed on the night of September 10th, 2001, foretelling the events to transpire with its apocalyptic sirens and doomsday baselines. - 5 tracks (00:00)
BuyD13.008. Released by D13. The title of this 5-track industrial EP is a term for a malevolent Navajo shape-shifting spirit. The material on this shows a transition of Bombardier's work to a new phase of slower and more lucid material. "Dark, haunting... real menacing, heavy, evil" -Kurt Eckes, Drop Bass Networks. - 1 tracks (00:00)
DownloadD13.006. Released by D13. Lithium Project was an artistic experiment developed between 1998-2003.

BuyD13.002. Released by D13 and Low Res Records. The 4 industrial-gabber tracks on this EP have appeared in Bombardier live shows, CD mixes, and have been paramount in defining the Bombardier sound. "Rough, growling, distorted guitar-like frequencies... Harsh and nasty, the beats pump non-stop. Four tracks of unbridled violence." -Carlos Pozo (Grooves Magazine) - 2 tracks (00:00)
BuyEUPH-06. Released by Eupholus Records. "Everything is here: hard beats, rough distorted synths, mechanical atmospheres, and clean production. 'Betrayal' is a grinding groove of overdriven basses, every note achieving full impact. 'Character Assassination' is a resonant, clipped monster of a sound, with bass throbs and squelches. A beautiful melody plays over the top, giving the listener a floating air to latch onto amid the chaos and relentlessness below. -Gavin Lees (Immanence) - 1 tracks (00:00)
BuyD13.001. Released by D13. Full-length continuous mix CD featuring tracks released by Jason Snell under the Bombardier, Kamphetamine, and 13th Hour monikers. "Awesome full-length CD overflowing with the punkcore darkness. Invoking the spirit of Skinny Puppy and Discharge... the birth of a new hardcore. 28 relentless tracks mixed into a flowing and emotional set." -Jace Krouse (History of the Future)-

BuyVC-161. Released by Vinyl Communications. "Bombardier's music impacts like sensory napalm - thickly distorted, explosive, warped, staticky. At his most intense, it sounds like the settling of debris following a nuclear storm. This is as smart as noisecore gets. His set never stops blowing up, never surrenders a shred of intensity. 20 short cuts slamming into each other without a pause for breath, it's as relentless as Bombardier's show. -Michaelangelo Matos (City Pages, New York Press)-

Discovered by Kid 606 in San Francisco, Snell's first album was Violence, a full length mix CD of original material on Vinyl Communications, one of the most well respected hardcore labels in the world.Inspired by German and Midwest hardcore like DHR and Delta 9, Snell created a breakbeat gabber hybrid and evolved into a fusion between punk and drum n bass. He used 4-track recording with distortion stomp boxes to apply a raw, punk sound to his electronic music. He became shaping influence of the breakcore sound emerging in the late 90's, producing music for pioneering labels such as Low Res, Addict, Drop Bass, Hangars Liquides (France) and CFET (Germany). Snell has performed live at shows throughout the US and Canada alongside Meat Beat Manifesto, Adam X, DJ Hidden, Delta 9, Venetian Snares, DJ Scud and Christoph De Babalon.In 2000, Snell moved to downtown New York City and started D13 Records, a sub-label of Low Res used as a platform to release experimental music and artwork produced by Snell. His style grew into industrial and ambient, eventually getting involved with the film industry and producing several film soundtracks. His first film score premiered at Sundance and won several awards at film festivals worldwide, and Snell presented his work at an IndieWire event at the Apple Store in SoHo.Snell has continuously worked to fuse design, motion and sound, beginning his multimedia work designing music releases for artists and labels including Ad Noiseam, Cdatakill, X-Core, Venetian Snares, Eupholus Records, and Low Res. In 2006, he founded a technology company and has worked with some of the largest media and entertainment companies worldwide, including HBO, AOL, Condé Nast, and MTV.Snell has since moved to California and is using his 10+ years with experimental genres to produce innovative techno and breaks.
