Brooklyn duo Wetware make a highly confrontational, excessively nervous form of experimental industrial techno. During live performances, vocalist and performance artist Roxy Farman convulses, shouts, and dances right into the crowd, while Matt Morandi produces a torrent of harsh, jagged rhythms using modular synthesizers. The duo's recordings, such as 2020's Flail, are similarly chaotic and abrasive.

Prior to the duo's formation in 2015, Morandi had released abstract techno under the solo moniker Jahiliyya Fields, in addition to collaborating with Max Ravitz (aka Patricia) as Inhalants, with both projects releasing music on Ron Morelli's esteemed label L.I.E.S. After building a buzz with their live happenings, Wetware's self-titled debut cassette was released by Primitive Languages in 2016. This was followed by Salpinx, a 12" EP issued by BANK Records NYC in 2017. During the same year, Farman appeared on LPs by Hiro Kone and former Coil member Drew McDowall. Wetware's debut full-length, Automatic Drawing, was released by Dais Records in 2018. Flail, an even more manic and intense follow-up, appeared in 2020. ~ Paul Simpson
