A very versitile duo, Daniel and Nik, aka AiDS 3D, makes amazing art but also puts out really weird and inspiring music.

Based on the method of Chopped and Screwed (a technique of remixing hip hop music which developed in the Houston hip hop scene in the 1990s. This is accomplished by slowing the tempo down to between 60 - 70 quarter-note beats per minute and applying techniques such as skipping beats, record scratching, stop-time, and affecting portions of the music to make a "chopped-up" version of the original) they work with eurodance and other random tracks to create sluggish yet hyped up music; a drugged out soundscape too slow for dancing, yet i feel it would go very well with epelepsy strobes and smoke machines.

All their music can be downloaded for free at aids-3d.com/mp3.html, and be shure to check out their amazing art too, in the meantime here is the track "Back once again" from the 2008 album "New Dirge".
