Container is the stripped-down and raw hypnotic and damaged techno project of Providence, RI's Ren Schofield, who started the project in 2009 combining his background in noise and cassette-collage music with a new-found love of 90s minimal techno. The result is a live sound of serious weight and function -- ferocious and relentless, hypnotic and rough-edged. After a string of cassette releases, the debut LP was released on Editions Mego sub-label Spectrum Spools, followed by further releases on the Morphine label. Recent activities include a remix of Four Tet's 'Kool FM'.

“Its crunchy beats, low-tech decay and fist-pumping zeal have struck a chord with an electronic dance music scene that is once again craving techno that is hard, heavy and elemental” Resident Advisor

"Container, aka US-based Ren Schofield, runs a mean line in ferocious, psychedelic techno, whose single-minded intensity and raw edges suggest early Jeff Mills or Ancient Methods going supernova and burning everything around them to a crisp" The Quietus
