During his stint as Noistruct, Boris Otterdam helped to begin the first (and only) breakcore scene in Perth in the early 2000s as well as co-found the label 8-Bit Recordings in 2003 and went on to become a prominent and prolific promoter and contributor to the Australian Breakcore/Hardcore Scene in Melbourne for the next 9 years which included organizing national tours for international breakcore producers and local noise artists.
