Pornoground and Gimme Two Fingers were developed at Narodni Podník 4 and stand among the earliest examples of the Wet & Hard framework in formation. The tracks were constructed with minimal equipment, guided by an intention to produce structure through overload: clipped signals, tight repetition, and functional instability. The approach was shaped by my background as a bass guitarist and early exposure to acid-driven techno. Neither track was smoothed or balanced—each remained deliberately raw.

Gimme Two Fingers became a reference point. It was named Platte des Monats in Raveline magazine and received regular airplay, including on Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1 program. Its place in club rotations came not from narrative appeal, but from the usability of the track.

12 Elements Project

The release also served as the conceptual basis for the 12 Elements Project, developed for a live presentation at the Atonal Festival. The stems of Gimme Two Fingers were pressed to dubplates and performed across twelve synchronized turntables – deconstructed, layered, and reassembled live. The performance material was later refined into the studio version. Pornoground and Gimme Two Fingers were helped define the tone of early Wet&Hard resistant to polish and directed at the body.
