'''''Detrimentalist''''' is a [[breakcore]] album by Canadian artist [[Venetian Snares]], released June 9, 2008. A distinct departure from the classical themes of 2007s [[My Downfall (Original Soundtrack)]], Detrimentalist sees Aaron Funk using early 90's [[drum and bass]], [[rave]] and [[ragga]] over his usual complicated [[Time signature|time signatures]] and [[breakbeats]], and also appears to show influence from late 90's video game music.
Tracks that have been sampled on the album include [[Elephant Man (musician)|Elephant Man]]'s "Haters Wanna War", [[KRS-One]]'s "Phucked" and [[Maestro (rapper)|Maestro Fresh Wes]]' "[[Let Your Backbone Slide]]".

Track 6 ("Poo Yourself Jason") is named in an response to a song called "Pee Yourself Aaron" writte by Bong-Ra.

On the second track, Koonut-Kaliffee, the voice of [[Leonard Nimoy]] as commander [[Spock]] is used as a sample. It was taken from [[Star Trek: The Original Series]] episode [[Amok Time]]. the Koon-ut-kal-if-fee is a Vulcan mating ritual in the Star Trek universe<ref>http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Koon-ut-kal-if-fee</ref>.
