Needle Sharing was founded in 1991 by Roland Danielzig, taking its name from a documentary on AIDS, shown on British television. The concept was to produce raw and loud industrial dance music influenced by a heavy consumption of splatter movies, although over time his work has evolved into a state-of-the-art "drum & NOISE" project, influenced in part by Danielzig's film score work and long-time friendship with German drum & bass producer The Panacea.
