1. New releases
Six new releases are available now from Ad Noiseam.
AZ-ROTATOR "Science of Chance" - adn50 - CD
A very precise combination of fractal beats, beautiful harmonies and abrupt breaks. Constantly on the move, AZ-ROTATOR's debut album is the result of a careful digital trickery, pushing the envelope of what can be re-invented with complex electronic music, and how tasty it can be. ?Science of chance? is an album of uncommon beauty, paired with a masterful sense for electronic composition. Emotional harmonies meet sharp beats with impressive ease and talent.

DETRITUS "Origin" - adn51 - CD
DETRITUS?s second album, a splendid combination of clean and powerful drum?n?bass, deep strings and emotion-ridden melodies. Brilliantly produced, this album is a perfect combination of beauty and musical talent, of human feeling and driven beats. One doesn?t get very often an album which is satisfying both for the head, at home, and the feet, on the dancefloor. Features remixes by MOTHBOY and Mad E.P.

MOTHBOY "Exonian" - adn52 - 12"
Very strong coming of age for MOTHBOY, presenting here three new tracks and three remixes (by Mad E.P., Monrella and MOTHBOY himself). One extremely pounding side for the clubs, and one strongly alternative hip hop side form a compact, solid and massive record that prove once again that MOTHBOY is one of the most exciting UK producer to date.
Chosen best record of the week by UK's Playlouder, before both The Prodigy and Depeche Mode.

LAPSED "Lapsed" - adn53 - CD
The return of the funktastic prodigal son, of the precise beats and the heavy click. LAPSED's second album takes the beauty and subtelity of its predecessor and mixes it with heavier, more powerful syncopated beats and warmer atmosphere. A efficient, modern and massive album that combines edge and appeal. Contains a remix by Aaron Spectre's Air Inspector project.
Release party in Salt Lake City on November 15th (see below)

ENDUSER & SUBMERGED "Appropriate & Deface" - adn54 - 12"
Shattered drum'n'bass to break walls to. ENDUSER and SUBMERGED pair to create behemoth-sized basses and violent noisy beats, the whole thing broken and recombined. "Appropriate and Deface" is a meeting of two not-to-be missed producers taking drum'n'bass to a whole new level. Massive, heavy, powerful. Passers-by might get trampled to death.
This 12" is sold out at the label, but might still be available from other shops.

BONG-RA "I Am The God Of Hellfire" t-shirts
New BONG-RA shirts, bearing the cover artwork from the "I Am The God Of Hellfire" t-shits, and a passing slogan on the back. Available in women and men sizes.

2. Next releases
To be released on November 21st:
BONG-RA - I Am The God Of Hellfire - adn55 - double 12"
New full length album by the Dutch sonic devil BONG-RA. Signing here an upcoming classic of the genre, full of a mature, accessible sound relying on demonic basses and monstrous riffing, and enlisting such vocalists as Atari Teenage Riot's Hanin Elias, Drop The Lime and Mike Redman. BONG-RA proves here that downtempo can be as suffocating, sinister and efficient as hectic BPMs, and focus on twisting his trademark rave stabs into a mean and wicked dance floor marvel. An unmissable classic.
Preorders are recommended and possible now on the Ad Noiseam website.
The CD version of this album, released by Very Friendly, is available through Ad Noiseam.

And next are:
Exillon - The Keening Dithers - adn56 - CD
Second full length album for this San Francisco-based electronica wiz-kid, blending an atypical amount of emotion and beauty in a complex but human cloth of broken beats, subtle rhythms and delicate atmospheres. Known for this records on Zod and Component Records, Exillon offers here his most emotional work so far. Musically challenging and yet accessible, "The Keening Dithers" is a delicate and intricate work that confirms Exillon's status as a prime electronic artist.
Antigen Shift - The Way Of The North - adn57 - CD
After years of silence, Ottawa-based Antigen Shift returns with a new album, this time on Ad Noiseam. Having left some of his dirty and gritty noise behind, Antigen Shifts now blend his powerful beats with a stronger groove. Syncopated rhythms and carefully chosen sounds add a strong edge to an viciously headbanging-inducing album which both proves Antigen Shift's talent and opens him whole new doors.
Dälek - Streets All Amped - adn58 - 12"
Four brand new tracks by the insanely talented Dälek, pushing the envelope once again of their massive, noisy beats and intelligent hip hop. Ad Noiseam is proud to welcome this act, and to release this 12", following their recent "Absence" album on Ipecac.
Planned for releases on Ad Noiseam in 2006 are new albums by Larvae ("Dead Weight"), Mothboy ("Deviance"), Wilt ("Dark Meadows"), Enduser, Mago, Submerged and Air Inspector. And watch out for a wax meeting between Enduser and Larvae. And that's not all.
