While the base of the music is still full frontal, filthy dubstep, most of the four tracks presented here also put hip hop vocals in the foreground, with quite competent MC and a lot of scratches, cuts and other niceties. In the end, while the sonorities are (filthy) dubstep, the feel of this record is firmly planted in hip hop, which is a welcome change from the otherwise middle-of-the-road brostep I could have expected.<br>File under <A HREF="http://www.adnoiseam.net/store/index.php?genres_id=4">hip-hop</A> / <A HREF="http://www.adnoiseam.net/store/index.php?genres_id=24">dubstep & grime</A> <br><br>-See all items from <a href="http://www.adnoiseam.net/store/index.php?cPath=2581">Diesel</a><br><br>-See all items on <a href="http://www.adnoiseam.net/store/index.php?manufacturers_id=305">Audio Freaks</a><br><br>Ad Noiseam online store: <A href="http://www.adnoiseam.net/store">http://www.adnoiseam.net/store</A> http://www.adnoiseam.net/store/product_info.php?products_id=3548 Wed, 16 May 2012 21:56:22 +0200 http://www.adnoiseam.net/live-shows/oct-12-ruby-my-dear-in-bristol-uk info.NOSPAM@adnoiseam.net (Ad Noiseam) <p>October 12th</p> <p>Ruby My Dear live</p> <p>location t.b.a.<br />Bristol, UK</p><br><br><br><br>Ad Noiseam: <A HREF="http://www.adnoiseam.net">http://www.adnoiseam.net</A> http://www.adnoiseam.net/live-shows/oct-12-ruby-my-dear-in-bristol-uk Tue, 15 May 2012 18:10:41 +0200 http://www.adnoiseam.net/live-shows/sep-29-the-teknoist-ruby-my-dear-in-gent-be info.NOSPAM@adnoiseam.net (Ad Noiseam) <p>September 29th</p> <p>The Teknoist and Ruby My Dear live</p> <p>at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/447669475249883/" target="_blank">Breakcock Weekender</a><br />Minus One<br />Gent, Belgium</p><br><br><br><br>Ad Noiseam: <A HREF="http://www.adnoiseam.net">http://www.adnoiseam.net</A> http://www.adnoiseam.net/live-shows/sep-29-the-teknoist-ruby-my-dear-in-gent-be Tue, 15 May 2012 18:09:43 +0200 http://www.adnoiseam.net/live-shows/sep-28-ruby-my-dear-in-brussels-be info.NOSPAM@adnoiseam.net (Ad Noiseam) <p>September 28th</p> <p>Ruby My Dear live</p> <p>at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/447669475249883/">Breakcock Weekender</a><br />Les Ateliers Claus<br />Brussels, Belgium</p><br><br><br><br>Ad Noiseam: <A HREF="http://www.adnoiseam.net">http://www.adnoiseam.net</A> http://www.adnoiseam.net/live-shows/sep-28-ruby-my-dear-in-brussels-be Tue, 15 May 2012 18:08:30 +0200 http://www.adnoiseam.net/store/product_info.php?products_id=3547 info.NOSPAM@adnoiseam.net (Ad Noiseam) Now available from the <A href="http://www.adnoiseam.net/store">Ad Noiseam online store</A>:<br><h3><A HREF="http://www.adnoiseam.net/store/product_info.php?products_id=3547">Le Diktat & Kirdec - Mourir De Bonne Heure CD (Syrphe S014)</A></h3><A HREF="http://www.adnoiseam.net/store/product_info.php?products_id=3547"><img src="http://www.adnoiseam.net/store/images/diktat-cdrik.jpg" width=70 height=70 border=0 style="float: left; margin: 0px 8px 8px 0px;"></A>Taking a pause from his more abrasive and experimental material, C-Drik pairs up with France's Le Diktat for a CD which also contrasts greatly with the faster and more club-oriented new Axiome album. "To Die Early" also means to go back a decade in time and pay a strong homage to the whole illbient, downtempo scene back then spearheaded by Scorn, Bill Laswell or Spectre. Back when dubstep didn't exist yet, this combination of sluggish hip-hop beats, smokey dub melodies and darkish samples were the bassiest thing you could find, and it really feels good to dive again into this genre with these two musicians.

But from times to times, a release stands even taller than the other ones. It was the case of the recent "Drastic / Dying Star" 12". This new two tracker on Union is also something I'd put in the pantheon of these musicians. The DJ Hidden is a surprisingly hardcore tune with very uncommon, electric-sounding melodies, very long pads and a deliciously (slightly) retro choice in beats. The TOA track on the other side, while not "crossbreed" is a splendid, changing and melodic piece, extremely efficient but humane, reminding me a bit of DJ Hidden's "Earth Cry".

The first half presents four downtempo but highly jungle-infused tunes for which Bong-Ra hired Sole to lay prominent, grandiose vocals on top of a clear but percussive backdrop. The latest four tracks, though, are old-school, take-no-prisoner, instrumental Bong-Ra from his "Full Metal Racket" days: full-on guitar riffs and breakcore mash-ups, clearly written with his live-set in minds. The demon on the cover seems to me closer to this second half, but hats off to Bong-Ra for experimenting further with vocals in the first.

Whourkr is Igorrr's metal alter-ego, and <a href="adn158">"4247 Snare Drums"</a> is this act's third full length album. The product of a painstakingly long recording process by a musician who is already seen as one of the hardest-working perfectionist in the scene, it is also a towering culmination of extreme metal run through equations, growls laid down mathematically, and guitars calculated for maximum efficiency. Polymorphous, violent, absurd but also extremely detailled, here comes the deadliest, ugliest and most precise sow-metal you could imagine.</p> <br><br> <p><iframe width="100%" height="40" src="http://new.official.fm/player?control=1&width=100%25&height=40&skin_bg=000000&skin_fg=FFFFFF&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fnew.official.fm%2Ffeed%2Ftracks%2F2tZV.json" frameborder="0"></iframe></p><br><br>Ad Noiseam: <A HREF="http://www.adnoiseam.net">http://www.adnoiseam.net</A> http://www.adnoiseam.net/news/pre-orders-now-taken-for-whourkr-s-4247-snare-drums-album Fri, 27 Apr 2012 18:20:53 +0200 http://www.adnoiseam.net/news/listen-to-a-recent-live-by-oyaarss info.NOSPAM@adnoiseam.net (Ad Noiseam) <p><img height="200" width="635" src="http://www.adnoiseam.net/images/stories/various/oyaarss250412.jpg" alt="Listen to a recent live by Oyaarss." /></p> <p>Oyaarss's recent <a href="adn159">"Bads"</a> album (<a href="adn159">adn159</a>) has been very well received, and a lot of reviews have pointed how intense a live set by this artist must sounds like.

An instrumental, solo work, it is a place where long strings and fragile melodies form a contemplative landscape and relegates the electronic beats to the backgrounc. An intense collection during which Larvae focuses on its most emotional and sincere side, here is a necessary album for introvert nights and profound, closed-eyes listening.</p> <p>Following albums by <a href="adn156">Underhill</a> and <a href="adn159">Oyaarss</a> and EPs by <a href="adn149">Hecq</a> and <a href="adn155">DJ Hidden &amp; Broken Note / Niveau Zero &amp; Balkansky</a>, Larvae's "<a href="adn160">Exit Strategy</a>" is Ad Noiseam's fifth release this year, and will be followed by new albums by <a href="adn158">Whourkr</a> and <a href="adn157">Ruby My Dear</a>.</p> <p> </p> <br><br> <p> <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/34475476?portrait=0" width="635" height="357" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> </p> <p>Here's for a little summary of Larvae's discography:</p> <table border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="adn28"><img height="100" width="100" src="http://www.adnoiseam.net/images/stories/discography/28/adn28t.jpg" alt="Larvae - Monster Music - Ad Noiseam adn28" /></a></td> <td>Larvae</td> <td><a href="adn28">Monster Music</a></td> <td><a href="adn28">adn28</a> - 2003</td> <td><a href="store/larvae-monster-music_p633.html">CD ep</a> / <a href="store/larvae-monster-music_p869.html">digital</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="adn29"><img height="100" width="100" src="http://www.adnoiseam.net/images/stories/discography/29/adn29t.jpg" alt="Larvae - Fashion Victim - Ad Noiseam adn29" /></a></td> <td>Larvae</td> <td><a href="store/larvae-fashion-victim_p45.html">Fashion Victim</a></td> <td><a href="adn29">adn29</a> - 2003</td> <td><a href="store/larvae-fashion-victim_p45.html">CD</a> / <a href="store/larvae-fashion-victim_p870.html">digital</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="adn48"><img height="100" width="100" src="http://www.adnoiseam.net/images/stories/discography/48/adn48t.jpg" alt="Larvae - Empire - Ad Noiseam adn48" /></a></td> <td>Larvae</td> <td><a href="adn48">Empire</a></td> <td><a href="adn48">adn48</a> - 2005</td> <td><a href="store/larvae-empire_p47.html">12"</a> / <a href="store/larvae-empire_p841.html">digital</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="adn61"><img height="70" width="70" src="http://www.adnoiseam.net/images/stories/discography/61/adn61t.gif" alt="Larvae &amp;
