MKUltra was a project started in 2001. Originally named theStepchild, MKUltra was created out of boredom with the current modern rock and metal scenes. What was lacking in those scenes was found in a completly different form of music, EBM. theStepchild had 3 members and none of them knew what the hell they were doing and somehow never completed a track together in the entire year they were together. theStepchild continued on sparatically as a solo act for the next 2 years highlighting in a Metropolis recording artist Imperative Reaction (which was never released). Though not the greatest remix in the world, it was a turning point for the band.
Equipped with a brand new knowledge and understanding of recording and producing electronic music, the music started to morph into somthing completly different than the original concept. Tinges of trance, drum & bass, breakbeat, ambient, noise, and all sorts of genres started inching their way into the music. The music began to grab its inspiration from the world and it was decided that it was time to accept a new name for the band as its original concept was now obsolete. Thus MKUltra was born.
