1. New release
Out today on Ad Noiseam is:
Antigen Shift - The Way of the North - adn57 - CD
Antigen Shift finally presents his second album, in which the raw noisy beats have left room to deeper bass, syncopated rhythms and rich melodies. Harmonious and irresistible, ?The Way of the North? is the coming of age for this essential act of the hard electronic scene. Antigen Shift does a lot more than fulfilling his fans's expectations here, bring a fresh look at his music and signing a massive, efficient and terribly seducing album.

2. Still fresh:
Exillon "The Keening Dithers" - adn50 - 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.

3. Next releases
Coming on March 21st:
Dälek - Streets All Amped - adn58 - 12"
Dälek offer with ?Streets All Amped? a new record of their original mixture of massive noise, heavy beats, intelligent vocals and detailed turntablism. Never short of talent, this act has now approached its sound from a new angle, placing the vocals more in the background than ever before since their ?Necro Negro Nekros? album, and adding more details to their colossal wall of sound. ?Streets All Amped? is a new display of virtuosity in an awe-inspiring discography, a record of sheer brilliance.

Coming in April:
Keef Baker - Pure Language - adn59 - MCD
Following two CDs on n5md, UK's multitalented Keef Baker offers on Ad Noiseam a solid 6-track MCD in which his music takes a resolute accoustic and organic turn. Warm voices flow through "Pure Language" on top of a very distinctive bass and a new found drum'n'bass twist. Keef Baker enriches this vocabulary with a playful use of tempo changes and contained noise, writing down a music both human and massive, full of emotion and yet assertive. "Pure Language" is neither a whisper nor a shout, but a thoughtful and laid statement, to be listen to with care and enjoyed with ears wide opened.
