J Lesser is an indie sampler terrorist stranded halfway between the heavily fraternal scenes organized around conventional drum'n'bass and unconventional noise. His formative career includes time spent playing with a
Metallica cover band in San Diego, and with figures who later formed the indie bands Crash Worship and
A Minor Forest.
Lesser contributed the debut release for the San Diego indie-electronica label Vinyl Communications with 1996's Excommunicate the Cult of the Live Band.

Kid-606 as DISC,
Lesser has also recorded as 157 and
Backfire. ~ John Bush
