Richard Fearless on Container (pictured)
“Container is an American artist whose music straddles noise and techno. My path to him was through the fantastic label, Spectrum Spools. I found myself submerged in Bee Mask’s stunning ‘Elegy For Beach Friday’, and I was desperate to hear the label’s other releases. Container’s ‘LP’ blew my mind. It’s got an anarchic punk energy, mental time signatures, elements of dub and industrial. It instantly elbowed its way to the front of my record box and has stayed their since.
I had the good fortune to have Container play live for a Drone night at The White Hotel. The energy he brings to his machines is off the chart. It’s a mental fusion of sounds, and he just rips the place apart.

Last year I was going to be in Ireland for five weeks and knew Ren (Container), who had recently moved from Providence, Rhode Island to London, was looking for a place to record. I offered him the use of my studio ‘Metal Box’ while I was away and told him that if he wanted a home to release his recordings from that time, I’d be an honoured to put it out on Drone. To my great delight, he accepted,”
