History

D!v!s!on #9 was created in 1996 by New Brunswick-based composer Mick Hale. Later that year D!v!s!on #9 released The True Creator on Full Contact Records.[1][2] Hale drew from his electro music influences such as Aphex Twin, Cabaret Voltaire, Clock DVA and Lassique Bendhaus and to shape his ambient, jungle and trance compositions.[3][4] The band released "Dub Altar"[5] on the 1996 Full Contact Records various artists compilation Echo.[6][7] After the bankruptcy of Fifth Colvmn Records, Mick Hale decided to release the second album, titled Dub N Bass: Omen II, on Tinman. The compositions featured a more prominent use of vocal samples, keyboard driven atmosphere and sound layering compared to his debut effort.[8] The track "Omen II" was released on the various artists compilation Empire One, also released by Tinman.[9]
