The first collaboration between Neil Whitehead (VX) and Pete Hope came about via the remix of SWAMP GAS, a REVBJELDE track that Hope did the vocal for. After that it didn't take long until they both realised it would be good to instigate a collaboration which resulted in VERT:X + PETE HOPE 'DISINTEGRATE' album. (on vert:x's own label)
In 2022 Neil had the idea to create a new duo under his own VX moniker, releasing the album KILO PRICE FOR DEAD SHAPES on the HEAVY ELECTRICITY label followed by a lathe cut 7" (Eye Contact), on the same label.
The album has since been taken up by a trio of labels and will be appearing on vinyl later in 2023.
Early in 2023 it was decided there needed to be further insurrection whilst waiting for the vinyl release, so the duo went back to their respective caves to hammer out some new slabs of audio cacophony...
!nu4 WAS BORN
This EP plunges deeper into their industrial heritage via overblown bass mayhem and incessant lo-fi machine rhythms with primordial moog and vocals creating sonic collages of twisted imagery.
THE PHYSICAL CDr VERSION comes with an additional 5 track CDr of Neil & Pete's original demo workouts for the vert:x DISINTEGRATE album, which, in some way, describes the distorted circle so far and paints a raw and ragged picture of the alchemical inspiration that kicked this trans-global duo into action.

This whole set is excellent. I learned about Vert:x guys through a Fruits De Mer sampler and immediately sought out more. This has Peter Hope (of The Box) added on vocals. If you'd like to hear Suicide or Cabaret Voltaire with a krautrock undercurrent, or Faust IV done with a post-industrial mix, this is for you. Definitely my cup of tea! Walter Kelley
