The band, composed now of Alec Empire and Nic Endo, reunited last spring and signed with Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records. Collaborating with the band will be MC CX Kidtonik, who has worked with artists such as Kanye West and Nine Inch Nails.
Atari Teenage Riot—originally composed of Empire, Endo, Carl Crack and Hanin Elias–initially disbanded in 2000, with Crack dying of an overdose in 2001 and Elias breaking off to pursue a solo career. “Activate!” is the first track from the group’s newest incarnation.
