One of the hardest in the hardcore techno/industrial field, Delta 9 is the alias of Chicago's Dave Rodgers, a man influenced by thrash and industrial as well as dance styles like electro and gabba. Debuting with a series of singles for Drop Bass and Industrial Strength during 1995-96, Rodgers appeared on the Industrial Fucking Strength compilation and gained a contract with the increasingly techno-leaning grindcore label Earache. His first album, Disco Inferno, was followed later in 1997 by Alpha Decay. One year later, he appeared on Vinyl Communications with VC Mix CD, Vol. 1. Revolution 909 was released in mid-2000. ~ John Bush
