Atari Teenage Riot (abbreviated ATR) was a German Digital hardcore group formed in Berlin in 1992. Highly political, they fused anarchist anti-fascist or anti-Nazi views with punk vocals and the newly emerging techno sound that was called digital hardcore, which is a term band member Alec Empire used as the name of his record label.

History

The group was founded as an attack on the increasingly neo-Nazi influenced German techno scene and consisted of three Berliners - Alec Empire, Hanin Elias and MC Carl Crack. ATR's early releases (which included the track "Hetzjagd Auf Nazis!"/"Hunt Down the Nazis!") were surrounded by controversy in Germany due to the prevailing "no politics on the dance floor" attitude. The terms Neo-Nazism and Neo-Fascism refer to any social or political movement to revive Nazism or Fascism, respectively, and postdates the Second World War. ...

After signing to Phonogram Records, a major European label, in 1993 the band received an unusually large financial advance which they duplicitously used to set up their own record label: Digital Hardcore Recordings (DHR). ATR never delivered a commercially viable demo to Phonogram.^[1] Phonogram Records was started in 1962 as a joint venture between Philips Records and Deutsche Grammophon. ...

In 1997 ATR was joined by Nic Endo, a Japanese-American noise/soundscape artist during the Beck tour.^[2] Their live shows during this time were characterized by violence. An outdoor show in Berlin on May 1st 1999 resulted in the arrests of all of the band members for "inciting violence" after crowds, assembled for an anti-NATO protest, rioted with police (the charges were later dropped). In another incident, a security guard in Brazil was allegedly hospitalized after being beaten by Elias with a microphone. A fan stated in an interview that the guard had grabbed her between the legs as she tried to stage dive.^[3] Cold Metal Perfection album cover Nic Endo was born in Texas, Jannuary 7th 1976. ...

In 1999 ATR released 60 Second Wipe Out. The album featured a number of guest artists including New York City rappers The Arsonists. According to Magnet Magazine, "Empire's guitar-playing values speed-thrash malevolence, and when paired with Endo's painful skronkage, the album is decidedly denser than its predecessor." Arsonists The Arsonists are an underground hip hop group formed 1993 in Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York. ...

The group effectively disbanded in 2000. Any chance of reformation was eliminated on September 6 2001 by the death of Carl Crack, who had long struggled with drug addiction.^[4] In June 2002, Hanin Elias left DHR to create Fatal Recordings, a label formed exclusively for female artists, similar to her DHR Fatal offshoot label. Empire produced the track "You Suck" for her debut album No Games, No Fun, however in the album's artwork, specifically in a collage of collaborators, Empire's face is blacked out, signifying the end of their professional relationship. Fatal Recordings is a record label, set up by Hanin Elias. ...

The other half of the band continue to work together. Endo assists in the production of Empire's solo recordings as well as being a key member of his live band.
