Baz - Hello KB you insane fuck! How are things? I first discovered Lo Fi or Die Records a while ago when browsing the reviews on Braindead webzine. When did you first subject the underground to the noise atrocities and blastbeat abuse it rightly deserves from such a label, and what motivated you to do so?
KB - Ookini Bazra mein spermatik spume spurting skat soused spaztik! Kansha 4 eulogy komrade, komplimentory blowjob from my gran 4 yu when she delivaz the lyophilized anthrax units nexxxt tym the moon iz ryp! hmmmm...reko Lofiordierekadz has been inkurvating kraniumz 4 abowt 3 yeerz or so! shit started kuz i wuz so si uv half baked prostitutez getting dap 4 buztn crippled aphid paced tenuous soft azzed shit an wanted 2 set theez fux str8! so we did!

Baz - The second Lo Fi or Die release, Fast Forward/Jet Jaguar KR3 Kill Spree split 10", sees two extremely volatile acts saturating a piece of wax in seething and incandescent dischord, relenting only to weave in a few strinkingly intricate stuctures. Where did you find these two outfits for such a noisy amalgamation, and are you please with how it has been received so far?
KB - I'm dign yur fukn argot Baz yu nutty fuk! MZ found FF in th barren barbed thiketz uv th Noyz waztes <beleev it wuz the fantabulous AS#5>! Dr Goro kontakted uz an submited sum shit an we wuz lyk fuk hae, an paired both goliaths up 4 a thermo-nuklear throw down!

Baz - Of course, you distribute a myriad of underground releases on your label. Can you give us some examples of the kind of music you distro, as well as your most popular selling items

Baz - As can be gathered from your releases, you are also a musician residing in the band SMU. What instrument[s] do you play, who are your main influences as a musician and collectively as a group, and what do the letter stand for?
KB - I play drummmz! Influencez? Fak lad, so many! I b 1 polymerous mazafak so answering would hav me reeling off litanikal disertationz sumthin fierce! Suffice 2 say fuk all kum frum Grind/Blzt! Supa sik fuk Chinpira layz down th strngz! Yet agayn hard 2 say wut influencez az a group kuz Chinpira iz a similar story! Kidz reely hot hiz on styl an so hav I so wen shit composities - KABOOMt! GEIKOGRIND! Yu reely need 2 sample th impakt personally 2 fully fathom th damaj! SMU dun stand 4 "Shinu Mazafakingu Ujimushi"!!!
Baz - Besides the intensity and skill with which SMU material is played, a salient point is the absence of vokills. I for one think the songs are much more effective as instrumentals, but how do you feel about this? I understand there were proposals to recruit two female vokillists. Do you and your bandmates still favour the prospect of one or more vokillists, or do you now plan to always play as an instrumental band?
KB - Oh so sweet....intriguing yu shood say shit shood b instrumental, othaz say this also! W do intent 2 hav 2 termagants fuck it up 1 tym on vox, but alas findinf a lass that kan surpass and gets off on kilng en-mass iz a mozt demandng tazk! Chix ar all avid an palpitat with felicitous enthusiasm wen we propose but th sekond they jam shit in dey CD playa we looz em! Itz xtreemly fazt violent super energetic shit an I thnk th mad skillz <heh heh> also intimidayt our specimenz! Our boy Cheb Ranso wil do vox if we kaynt get na grrrrrlz, an na fi tess dotchie he wont fuk it up but enhance it I asure!
Baz - It can be appreciated that working on such a label as Lo Fi or Die is a considerable task for one person. Who, if anyone, assists you in the organisation and promotion and whatnot of your label?
KB - I run the label with super sik fuk, PowerElektronix princess and kunoichi malicious Minzo hoo duz hella shit inkluding all artwerk, plenty promotion, deelz wit almozt all Noyz an also bespanglez th label with her own ghastly and terrifyingly harsh an grotesque BioNoyz calamity 'Sweet Sounds Of The Burning Child'! th 3rd final an found member iz H8-Krymz! I deel with th Grind an Blur but there ar so few bandz that tantalize me my job basically iz jzt consoling Minz wen our penury gets a grip on uz and our sociopathic anthrophobic genocidal mania starts getng th better uv uz <calm down banji we wil get there shortly!>
