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 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's "Haters Wanna War", KRS-One's "Phucked" and Maestro Fresh Wes' "Let Your Backbone Slide".
