An appetizer to Raoul Sinier (formerly known as ìRaî) 's third studio album ìBrain Kitchenî (to come on Ad Noiseam in 2008), ìHuge Samurai Radishî sees this multi talented artist present a new menu of his gritty, catchy and personal electronic hip hop, as well as lend the knife to La Caution, Vast Aire (of Cannibal Ox fame), Wisp, Datach'I and Lynx & Ram for five spicy remixes. Tasty and highly addictive.
2. still fresh: Scorn, Detritus, Lapsed, Cdatakill & Bong-Ra releases.
still fresh from the Ad Noiseam's bakery are:
Scorn "Stealth" - CD / 2x12" - adn88
15 years since his dÈbut and 5 since his last studio album: Mick Harris breaks the silence and delivers with "Stealth" one of his most massive works so far. Staying faithful to his trademark sound, this corner-stone of a musician, constantly redefining the boundaries of electronic music, delivers here 8 salvoes of monumental bass, sparse dry beats and deep drones. Let it be heard: Scorn is back.
Detritus "Fractured" - CD - adn85
The logical sequel of the ìThresholdsî single, ìFracturedî sees Detritus keep the harder guitars and beats, while staying true to this intricate drum'n'bass patterns and evocative strings. A production tour-de-force, it presents a crystal-clear, yet powerful and deep sound that confirms this essential acts to the confirmed heights he had reached with his previous albums. Deep, masterful and highly rewarding.
Lapsed & Nonnon "The Death Of Convenience" - CD - adn87
"A matter of consciousness": Lapsed's third album sees his pair up with turntablist and producer nonnon and a crew of renowned MC to deliver a wild ride of glitchy electronic hip-hop with an edge. Ranging from heavy head bangers to lyrical narratives, "The Death Of Convenience" impresses by its variety, detail and its maturity. A very rich, well thought and thought-provoking album bearing fruits of many influences and sleepless nights of careful composition.
Cdatakill "Bleeding Hearts vol. 2" - 12" - adn83
The second volume of "Bleeding Hearts", the vinyl companion to the "Valentine" album, features remixes of Cdatakill track by DJ Hidden (hard and precise), Cakebuilder (pounding and heavy), Nonnon (syncopated and distorted) and Larvae (slower and more meditative). The second part of this hommage to Cdatakill's "Valentine" album confirms the open mindedness of his sounds and the influence of this essential act.
Bong-Ra "Full Metal Racket" - CD - adn84
Featuring all the tracks from the "Grindkrusher" and "Sick Sick Sick" records, re-recorded and remastered, "Full Metal Racket" is Bong-Ra's unmatchable homage to his grindcore and hardcore heroes. A fast, high-energy album of twisted breaks, breaks and merciless riffs, it finally presents the 10 gems of these two records to all fans of this superlative-heavy, towering producer. Zombie-claws lacerated subwoofers ahead.
AZ-Rotator "Freaky Vintage Disco Breaks" - 12" - adn78
Dancefloor droids rejoice! For his first release on vinyl, Madrid's forefront producer AZ-Rotator puts his complex dynamic beats to good use, and make them pay homage to old-school rave. Razor-sharp and crystal clear, the freaky vintage disco breaks are here to recombine complexity and club-appeal.
3. Forthcoming: Exillon, Mad EP, Spyweirdos and more Raoul Sinier.
Raoul Sinier's "Huge Samurai Radish" is the last release of 2007 on Ad Noiseam, but here is already some information about the first two albums to be released on the label in early 2008:
Exillon "It's OK to Dance" - CD - adn86
Exillon brings acid to IDM, speeds things up several notch, and bombs the dance floor with a high energy, unmissable album of catchy twisted club tunes. Tapping on his high production skills, "It's OK to Dance" brings back life to twisted beats and complex rhythms and does it all with a smile. It's OK to take the acid test, and certainly impossible to resist.
We're still looking for a few shows for Exillon's european tour in February. If you are interested in organizing something in your city, please write back as soon as possible.
Mad EP "Bass.Hed" - CD - adn90
Third full length album already for Mad EP. Following "Eating Movies" and Hymen's "Not Afraid of Spiders", "Bass.hed" brings the low frequencies back, and present the most coherent, detailled and lyrical album by Mad EP to date.
Planned for later on Ad Noiseam are Raoul Sinier's new studio album, "Brain Kitchen", as well as a new 12" by Chevron ("Tough Shite"), Spyweirdos "Epistrophy" album, as well as some very nice and surprising releases.
