Pain Station is the one-man outfit, powered by Scott Sturgis. Its first album "Anxiety" (Decibel Records) reached #6 on the CMJ RPMchart in 1996 and received critical acclaim from the press and club DJ's alike. Since 1995, Pain Station made several compilation appearances, including: 21st Circuitry's "Coldwave Breaks" compilation, Ras Dva's "There Is No Time" 4 CD-set, and "TV Terror compilation" which was featured on MTV News. After the unfortunate desmise of Decibel Records in 1998, Pain Station signed with COP INTERNATIONAL and made its first COP's appearance on the NEW VIOLENT BREED COMPILATION with a song called "Martyr". In his newest high-tech warfare, and second album, "Disjointed", Scott's trademark technique has gotten denser, angrier, and noisier. Incorporating elements of power noise, ambient, and break-beat music, "Disjointed" assaults listeners with a mutated strain of post electro/EBM, an infectious hybridization that demands movement on the dancefloor. With Disjointed, Scott rides the crest of a current wave of North American electro artists who have broken from the conventional European sound, intersecting urban beats and scrap yard percussion with the surgical precision of Euro-electronics.
