Entro (formerly known as Kid Entropy) is an emcee, writer, artist, dj, and producer currently located in the Wicker Park/Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago. He barely speaks broken Korean but is utterly obsessed with Hangul. He listens to an unhealthy amount of obscure vinyl, takes electronics apart with no intention of reassembling them, and rides his bike pretty much anywhere he can. Admittedly, his first love is still writing as evidenced by his sporadic attempts at maintaining the blog in which you are visiting. In emergencies, he can be persuaded with offers of warm vegan food.

In the mid to late nineties, he was known as one of champions of dark yet funky experimental drum and bass with a slew of releases on labels Cosmic Breaks, Black Monolith, Piruh and his own now defunct imprint Semiconscious Media. Barry Henssler, lead singer of the seminal punk band the Necros and Detroit based Sub Pop signed Big Chief, pressed the first record “Supernatty” b/w “For the love of it.” Its subsequent release garnered praise from the U.K. based music magazine, the Wire. It was even shortlisted in the all music guide to drum and bass. With the decline in quality of the music, he underwent a prolonged hiatus from production and dj’ing to focus on emceeing.

His past residencies on the mic included the now legendary Brockout! at Liar’s Club as well as the longest running drum and bass night in Chicago, the Seminar.  As of recent, he has manned the position of resident emcee for Chicago’s largest monthly dubstep night, Bass Goes Boom. Entro has handled mic duties for overseas and stateside dubstep talent such as Benga, Hatcha, 6Blocc, Plastician, and Djunya. As well as providing toasting duties for some more eclectic sets for drum and bass dj’s such as Commix, Makoto, Sonic and Silver, Facs, and Black Sun Empire. He has even toured with Dutch gabber hybrid, the Outside Agency with old friends Dj Hidden and Dj Eye-d, to headline the industrial stage of the largest hardcore festival in Europe, Thunderdome.

His lyrical style is a crossbreed of London Grime, Old School Hip hop, and mild schizophrenia. Entro produces abstract stoner-esque hip hop under his own moniker in his loft with the help of his two cats and Logic 8. He’s involved in a slew of side projects including a solo dubstep project called Wall of Denzel on Chicago based Dubfront recordings, a bassline old school revival mutation called Deathface with Johnny Love from L.A. based Guns and Bombs, and small doom/drone/electronic sideproject called Shibal.
