Now for a great one: here comes the official video to "Riot", the title track from Matta & Niveau Zero's latest collaborative EP ("Riot / Be Real", adn154). Partly made of images shot during a recent Niveau Zero concert, 3D imagery and scenes directed specially for this video, "Riot" is really a quality thing, rendering well the grittiness, weight and drive of this track.

You can watch this video here (or there on Vimeo, if Youtube has issues again) or below:

Update: we're back, all is now returning to normal.

We need to recharge our batteries before the Autumn (which will include the Enduser gig in Berlin the 14th of September, Underhill & Enduser in Heilbronn on the 15th, the big Ad Noiseam showcase in Paris on the 28th, the Maschinenfest from Oct 12th till 14th and the huge Burn the Machine festival on Nov 2nd & 3rd, as well as new releases by Niveau Zero, TechDiff, Enduser / Needle Sharing / The Teknoist, Oyaarss and more). Therefore, the Ad Noiseam office is closed from today (August 25th) till September 4th. Note that

• all emails will be received, but might not be answered before September 5th
• Online store orders will also be received and records / CDs reserved. But nothing will be shipped before September 5th. Of course, people purchasing digital tracks will be able to download their tunes immediately.

Sorry for the inconvenience. We hope that everybody is also enjoying the summer.

Friday Freebie: remember this recent Brazilian fan-made Ad Noiseam-heavy DJ set? What's in store for you tonight takes dedication to a new level, as we received an "Ad Noiseam mixtape" prepared by remarkable and rising British musician Gore Tech (already mentionned here recently for his remix of Underhill's "Rivers Of Hades").

A bit more than half an hour of heavy dubstep and breakcore, with a clear taste for Broken Note and Enduser sounds, intersected with tracks by the likes of Noisia and Exile as well as Gore Tech's very remix of Balkansky & Loop Stepwalker's "8.9" (off their "Adhesion" album): here's quite a heavy set, and something which we wholeheartedly approve of. You can listen to this mix here or below. Enjoy and check out the rest of Gore Tech public material.

"Once when we were young" is a new short film by Rob Chiu (the man behind Hecq & Exillon's well known "Spheres Of Fury" video), shot for the Mexican 2012 edition of the Offf festival. This time again, Chiu has collaborated with Ben Lukas Boysen (better known here as Hecq) for the soundtrack of this movie.

You can watch this film here or below. Hint: turn up the volume.

We've been announcing that Ad Noiseam would release a full length album by TechDiff for some time now, and while the wait has been long already, we can assure everybody that this CD is getting close to being released. To make it all sweeter, here's a video shot during TechDiff's recent tour to Japan. An insane mash-up of breakcore, raggacore and gabber, a room packed solid with ravers, and good mood all along, here comes a good introduction to the insanity that is TechDiff.

Now for a nice YouTube find: below are four videos of Mobthrow performing live in Paris in June 2012, and of the crowd enjoying it. Click below to watch and listen to one of these unsurprisingly powerful and oh-so-rare Mobthrow live gig, and watch out if he ever comes to your neck of the woods (by the way, people in Paris, how about a repeat experience with an Ad Noiseam showcase at Batofar on September 28th)?

A year after the 10 Years Ad Noiseam party in Paris, Ad Noiseam returns to the French capital for a new festival. Armed with a fresh line-up of five live acts demonstrating the wide scope of the label, this event will have sound for everybody with good taste, from deep drones to pounding beats:

Friday, September 28th at Batofar
-The Outside Agency (presenting their new album)
-Enduser (only French concert in 2012) 
-Igorrr (with tracks from his forthcoming album)
-Hecq (first Paris concert ever)
-Subheim (first French concert ever)

More information can be found on this event's official page. Last year's birthday party was awesome (and packed solid), let's repeat the experience in 2012.
