There's no stopping Hecq's track "Sura" from being used in videos: after being featured in the new "Assassin's Creed" trailer, in an Audi concept short and in two director's portfolios (one, two), it is the turn of the Austrian "alternative" jeweller And I (whose creations have apparently been worn by some well known celebrities) to use this track for an advertisment. A short version is here, and longer there and below. Depending on your workplace, this might be categorized as Not Safe For Work. Now don't be surprised if the next time you hear from Hecq, he's being checked into rehab in some Californian insitution.

Hecq's "Sura" is taken from the EP of the same name (adn128), available on record here and as digital files there.

Congratulations to Matta and director Kim Holm, as the video for "Release The Freq" (taken from the 12" of the same name and the "Prototype" album) has been awarded the prize of best alternative video at this yeart's British Music Video Awards. You can read about this here and there, and of course, watch the video again below.

Friday Freebie (on a Monday night, sorry for the delay this week): you had already been able to listen to Detritus's full set recorded on October 8th at the 10 Years Ad Noiseam birthday party which took place during the Riddim Collisions festival in Lyon, and here's a link to Hecq and Matta's set of the same night. On the menu today is not only the full set played that night by Mobthrow, but also an extensive interview with this musician.

Presented by the good people behind the Solipsistic Nation website, the podcast available here (or below) is an accurate presentation of Mobthrow: two studio tracks (one of which being taken from his eponymous debut album, adn141), and interview and a full live-set. None of you has any excuse not to be familiar with Mobthrow anymore.

Broken Note performed a very special performance last week-end at the LUFF festival in Lausanne (CH). Usually a solo, computer-based project, this act presented there a full show with live-drummer for the second time ever.

Super heavy dubstep, broken rhythms, distortion and walls of bass, plus drums? Here's the moving proof that it works extremely well, with this video shot at this show (and another one under the break). Coming soon to another festival near you.

Friday Freebie: Not only did Detritus's come back mean a new album, the very recently released "Everyday Explanations" (adn148), this act has also taken it to the stage again with several gigs presenting his new full length, such as ones at the 10 Years Ad Noiseam parties in Bordeaux and Lyon a couple of weeks ago.

Those of you who were here can attest of the quality, drive and depth of Detritus's new shows. And for those of you who were not there comes here a two-part recording of Detritus's show in Lyon on October 9th, 2011, as part of both a 10 Years Ad Noiseam birthday party and the 2011 edition of the Riddim Collision festival.

The first part is here, and the second part below. Press play, enjoy, and don't forget to check out Detritus's new "Everyday Explanations" album (or the rest of his discography, actually).

While Berlin mourns the very sad closing of the Dense record store, this city can however look forward to the first edition of a new festival, set up by the nice people of Subland.

Taking place at this insanely good-sounding new club, this 2011 edition of the "Burn The Machine" festival will feature several Ad Noiseam artists: The Teknoist, Hecq, Mobthrow and Nicolas Chevreux will play and spin alongside Current Value, Sinister Souls, The Panacea, Dean Rodell, The Sect and many others. A full line-up is to be found here.

You can now buy tickets for this festival (15 Euros for two days with two rooms each, in other words, very cheap) straight from the Ad Noiseam online store here. See you there.

They're finally here. Announced several weeks ago, presented at several Ad Noiseam 10th anniversary nights, the new releases are here. Ad Noiseam is happy to release today three new full lengths albums by three important acts of the label:
-first comes Enduser's return to the very front stage, the "Even Weight" album (adn150, available on double LP + CD, CD and digital),
-then arrives Detritus's "Everyday Explanations", the deep and surprising fifth album by this long-running Ad Noiseam act (adn148, available on CD here and digital there).
-Finally, Igorrr's new double CD "Poisson Soluble / Moisissure" is the very welcome, nice-priced (and finally complete) reissue of this madman's first two demos (adn147, available on double CD and digital).

These three albums are now available in all formats through the Ad Noiseam store. Click on their names or below for more information.

We have more or less no information regarding this video, but here's a very nice work by Anel Reyes, made to illustrate Mad EP's track "Menuet", off his latest album, "Bass.hed" (Ad Noiseam adn90). You can watch it here or below.
