Stallone the Reducer is the project of Sam Consiglio, whose affiliation with Detroit’s bizzaro electronic music scene dates back to the early 2000s. His debut album "Private Property" was released in 2016. Growing up in Detroit, he sipped from the same Mojo-tinted/New Dance Show flavored water as everyone else. In his teen years he became deeply obsessed with Throbbing Gristle. But it wasn’t only the mechanical rhythms and loops of TG that hooked him, it was the lust and liberation, the straight-forward and unsentimental depictions of the world that they saw and ability to use sound chaos as communication, within a musical context. Here is where his musical palette diverges from the typical electro-punk bedroom button-pushers in the current electronic music spectrum: subject matter. Against the synth tones, noise, disembodied voices, and repetitive, rhythmic current, swim themes of coded language, thrown voices, sexual taboo, the politics of the apolitical, privacy and brutality, and Rome as a continuing saga, living behind every front door. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Stallone+The+Reducer">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
