Scorpio

About

Scorpio operated in the shadows of the United States' underground from 1983 to 1985, carving out a niche on cassette tapes through Dark Star and Syzygy. Their sound: regimented yet chaotic, a fusion of early experimental drum and bass with dark atmospheric elements. Releases like "Cataclysm" and "Vox Populi" pulsated through the tape decks of those in the know, each track a propulsive journey into synthetic soundscapes. The scene was niche, the format tactile, with each tape a badge of honor for collectors and DJs alike. In a world where digital was still science fiction, these cassettes carried weight, echoing the angular beats of similar artists like Roni Size & DJ Die and Dancemaster. Scorpio's brief, yet impactful spark ignited a following that still spins their sonic tales today.
