Alec Eberhardt, better known by his stagename DJ Speedsick, is an American electronic musician, DJ, and record producer based in Chicago, Illinois. Emerging from the experimental music scene in the late 2010s, his work gained attention for its abrasive sound and role in a revival of interest in high-BPM/hardcore techno.[1]
DJ Speedsick debuted in 2017 on Austin-based label Breathing Problem Productions with the album Odyssey '97 on, a five-song release featuring a contrast of harsh instrumental industrial music and noise. His sophomore effort N.Y.S.S., containing three lengthy electronic noise pieces, was released later that year by Brooklyn label Dead Gods, followed by a reissued alternate version of his debut entitled Spiral '07. 2018 saw the release of Death Trip '17, along with the establishment of his own label, Snake Eyes & Sevens, with the EP In Trances.[citation needed]
