There have also been a number of collaborative projects over the years, the first being Skin Receptor with D. Smith, which later fused with another project of D.&#8217;s called Krushed Opiates (also featuring Al Warr of Krush-R). KO appeared on several compilations and released an album called Driving the Two-Dimensional Highway on DSBP Records in 2002. Circumstances kept any follow-up from appearing until 2016, when KO began putting out collections of rarities, unreleased tracks, remixes of other artists, and other goodies from the back-catalog in anticipation of new material. Another notable collaboration is Cogitate, with Riki Rezinunts of <a href=\"https:\/\/grossnationalprodukt.bandcamp.com\">Gross National Produkt<\/a>. A few tracks were recorded around 2001 or so, after which the project sat on hold until 2016, when Kevin &amp; Riki began exchanging material again. Recently, a track was recorded in collaboration with Meagan J of <a href=\"https:\/\/degeneratetrifecta.bandcamp.com\/\">Mrs. Dink\/Degenerate Trifecta<\/a> (and featuring <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/geniusofnefarious\">The Vessel of G.O.N.<\/a> on vocals) under the name Monica Devertebre. More material is in the works for this project as well.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin is also an active remixer, both solo projects having done a number of remixes for acts such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.themercycage.com\/\">The Mercy Cage<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/screamingtogod.bandcamp.com\/album\/shut-it-down-single\">STG<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dsbp.cx\/diverje\">Diverje<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/machinesonblast.bandcamp.com\/\">Machines On Blast<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nute.bandcamp.com\/\">N.U.T.E<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jazzyspoon.com\/\">Jazzyspoon<\/a>, and others. Skin Receptor also remixed a number of tracks while they were active, some of which are still floating around the net. Past Krushed Opiates remixes are currently available from the <a href=\"https:\/\/krushedopiates.bandcamp.com\">KO bandcamp page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 0.85; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 143px; left: 50px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 0.85; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 143px; left: 50px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 0.85; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 143px; left: 50px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 0.85; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 150px; left: 50px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 0.85; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 150px; left: 50px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Formed in 1997 out of Kevin Breidenbach&#8217;s love of both electronic music &amp; computers, Skin Contact has incorporated a wide range of influences to form a unique blend of dark electronics.
