So, rave is back, they say. Old icons are making their come back,
squat parties flourish and the audience of electronic music want
to dance more and sit less. That’s where Cdatakill’s
second full length album comes in. Speaking of how old-school sounds
and energy are reappearing on the front stage, Zak Roberts (Cdatakill)
says “I wanted to reclaim them, make them mine, not leave
them to happy hardcore”.
Never short of a surprise, Zak Roberts presents his own mix of
hard hitting, danceable sounds and broken rhythms as a follow up
to the warmer and noisier “Paradise”
(also released on Ad Noiseam). No atmospheric tracks this time around,
but a major effort in building coherent and complex tracks. He adds
“I think my future tracks are going to be a lot more experimental,
but this one had to be hard. And hard it is.
“The Cursed Species”, with its long tracks and epic
moments (“Reclamation
song”) works as a soundtrack to the meanest videogame,
the darkest movie. And yet we are not speaking here of old recipe
and tired sounds. This album is also one in which Cdatakill’s
writing skills reach new heights, gaining in complexity and structure.
Leaving behind most of the old breakcore theme designs, Cdatakill’s
new avatar is one of highly thought out arrangements and mixes,
bringing a very fresh view on the topic of beat-driven electronic
music.
Ad Noiseam is proud to release this album, showing how hard, efficient
beats can be used in a way which is both enjoyable and original.
The fruit of a long writing process, “The cursed species”
is an album that will surprise by his strength and yet astonish
by his details and subtility. “The Cursed Species” is
an album whose bite will leave a lasting mark.
