October is upon us, and will see the release of two major albums on Ad Noiseam before it is over. Announced, displayed and now available for pre-orders are two very distinct works from the two current heavy hitters that are Oyaarss (following his "Bads" album with a remasted release of his early "Smaida Greizi Nakamiba" demo) and Niveau Zero (with his long-awaited "Jasmine" second full length album).

Both of these albums will be released on October 22nd and both come on all formats: vinyl (everytime with a copy of the album on CD in the sleeve), CD and digital files. And as usual, pre-orders get a rebate: if you purchase your copy of these albums before their release date, not only will you get your copy before anyone else, but also for a bit cheaper. Act fast.

Read below for more information, images and audio from both of these albums.

Drum rolls: two months after we announced the remix contest for Niveau Zero's "First" (co-hosted by Fixt), here's the time to make the winners known.

We received more than 5 hours of continuous play of remixes to listen to, and had long discussions as to which was our favorite. Voting for this contest were Niveau Zero, The Unik (his collaborator for this track), the Fixt team and your humble servant at Ad Noiseam. Picking the three best remixes out of more than 70 wasn't easy. Check the result below, and get in touch if you are one of the winners. If you are not, we are still very thankful that you participated to this contest, and had a good time listening to your remixes.

We fill a boat to the brim and partied all night long with your previous help last Friday at the Ad Noiseam 2012 Paris showcase, and now have pictures and videos to proove it.

First come two sets of excellent pictures from the night: the first one is here, courtesy of Key Frame, and the second is there, coming from the Tartine de Contrebasse zine (you will need a Facebook account to see both pictures sets).
Then is a short video by IndefiniteVJ, who was taking care of the visuals for the whole night, which showcases both what he did that night and how the audience reacted. Enjoy.

Breaking our habit, here is another post not advertising any new release to pre-order or any new official video, but showcasing a very appreciated hommage sent to us by a fan. Ad Noiseam does need to sell records to pay for the production of records and rent, but it's also very heart-warming to receive this kind of message.

Below is a drawing made by Arnaud Polette, inspired by Ad Noiseam, and realized with pencil and chinese ink. It's beautiful, impressive, and is a great thing to find in our inbox. Thank you.

The clouds have gathered, the storm is coming: dim the lights, turn up the volume, and watch this first teaser to Niveau Zero's forthcoming second album, "Jasmine" (adn161).

"Jasmine" is coming out on October 22nd on Ad Noiseam. You can read more about it, see the artwork and listen to excerpts here. Pre-orders are also now taken for all the versions of this album (the luxury clear-vinyl, double gatefold LP with CD added, the practical digipack CD, or the minimalistic digital version). As usual, pre-orders get a rebate, so you might want to secure your copy before October 22nd.

Update: here is the same video on Vimeo for people in Germany.

September is rich in videos, it seems: only yesterday did we post the new official video to Detritus's "Valid", and it's been a week since the one for Matta & Niveau Zero's "Riot", but here comes a new short movie of sort, this time set to the sound of Subheim's "At The Edge Of The World", the closing track of his "No Land Called Home" album (adn133).

Made only in stop-motion, this video seems to be the fruit of an extremely detailed and painful work. It's quite something to watch, and must have been quite something to realize as well. And on top of that, it all fits perfectly with Subheim's track.

You can watch this video, "The Last Gate" here or below. Enjoy.

Friday Freebie: a week after the very remarked video to Matta & Niveau Zero's "Riot", here comes another official film, this time to the track "Valid", taken from last years's fifth Detritus album, "Everyday Explanations" (adn148).

Written, shot and edited by Lisa Ferber (already responsible for the Balkansky & Loop Stepwalker's "Bild Dir Deine Freiheit" video to their "Fire" track), "Valid", just like "Riot", also features insects, but in a much more peaceful way. No thrashing, no twitching around this time, but a very relaxed, poetic video to watch at home and dive into.

You can watch this video to Detritus's "Valid" here or below. German users: here is the Vimeo link, if Google and the GEMA are having a fit again.

As every year in September, we're approaching the date of the Maschinenfest, at which hundreds of festival goers will receive a free compilation featuring a new track by each act performing there. We recently posted an excerpt from Underhill's contribution, a breakcore remix of their "Rivers Of Hades" song by Gore Tech, and here comes Enduser's. His participation to this project is a remix as well, this time of the track "7 a.m. Fog" (originally co-written with Aaron Bonk and released on his "Even Weight" album (Ad Noiseam adn150) remixed by Scheme Boy.

You can listen to Scheme Boy's remix of Enduser's "7 a.m. Fog" below or here or, of course, on the CD that you will receive for free if you attend this year's Maschinenfest (and you should).
