Hecate is the performing name of American/Austrian Hardcore/Breakcore producer Rachael Kozak, currently living in Basel, Switzerland. She takes her name from the Greek goddess of sorcery Hecate. She has also worked with prolific electronic artist Venetian Snares, creating the controversial album "Nymphomatriarch" made entirely out of recordings of herself and Venetian Snares having sex on their two-week tour in 2003. This also shows her awareness and recognition as a female artist in a male-driven scene. She uses sex as a major topic in her music, as shown in "Hecate Jacks Off The Jackal" and "The Magick Of Female Ejaculation". She also deals heavily with death and the occult. [1]
Rachael Kozak is also involved with video production, graphic arts and writing. With over 30 records released, she is the most prolific female producer in hard electronic music. She also runs her own record label Zhark International.
