Method Of Defiance is one of Bill Laswell’s longer term “vehicles” for the exploration of colliding musical genres (as are Material and Praxis). In this case the juxtaposition of drum’n bass, dub, electronica and jazz.
After two releases featuring primarily Laswell, Guy Licata and DJ Submerged (Brutal Calling and The Only Way Is Down) and one “multi-guest” release (“Inamorata“) and a succesful live performance in Greece in 2006, Method Of Defiance became a true “band” with the inclusion of Toshinori Kondo, Dr Israel and Bernie Worrell and started touring Japan.
