Biography

Data Void
Effective period / Period of releases: 2024
Members: Don Gordon, James Mendez
Data Void is a collaborative project from Don Gordon (Numb, Halo_Gen) and James Mendez (Jihad, Trial By Fire (4)) who both have long histories in the industrial, dark electronic music scenes.The sound of Data Void combines the driving rhythms and strong, evocative sound design sensibilities of NUMB with the dark melodicism of Jihad. On their first release, Strategies of Dissent, they seamlessly integrate elements drawn from a diverse range of contemporary electronic music influences - industrial, drum & bass, dark ambient, post-punk, experimental, EDM, dub, psychedelica - into a coherent sound that both seduces and challenges the listener. The album also features a strong lyrical focus that is reinforced by Data Void’s use of 2 lead vocalists, allowing for shifts in perspective and emphasis between and within individual tracks.
