====== Static:Soul ======

Dark Electro / Industrial\\
Kansas, USA

Derick Bailey (aka -dredge-) recorded as a solo artist as Static:Soul.

First known simply as Static, Bailey expanded the project's name in 1999. Many people were introduced to this new outfit through the track "Sloppy," a futuristic, dark electro tune featured on several compilations, including [[Flaming Fish Music]]'s //Ballistic Test 8// and //Automata 1.0//. The song, which mixed threatening robotic vocals over foreboding, mechanical beats and droning synths, would become the project's signature song and was eventually mixed with Aussie techno-dance band [[Paradoxx]]'s song "New Devotion" to form the title track for their //Devotio Moderna// album.

Bailey further established his reputation as Static:Soul by releasing the //Blindfall EP// in 2000. The project featured more dark electro tracks in the vain of [[globalWAVEsystem]], [[Blank Frame]], and Skinny Puppy. He also made several more compilation appearances in the early 2000's.

Bailey is also one-half of industrial rock band [[Rusted Pig]] and experimental electronica outfit [[Redshift Project]].
