Raoul Sinier :: Guilty Cloaks (Ad Noiseam)
This album sounds like a much more personal affair then earlier works to me, retaining many of the trademark stylings that have become associated with Raoul’s sound, but maybe a touch more stripped back, still gripping and intriguing with complex rhythms and complex sounds, but now almost like proper songs with melodies and arrangements going [...]
Hecate :: Brew Hideous Remixes (Ad Noiseam)
Amboss, Slutmachine, Vile Enginez and White Darkness (A.K.A. Bong-Ra) are the guilty parties, and with a roll call like this, you may well have a fairly good idea of what lies beneath the shiny black surface of this vinyl disk. A pitch black assault of the senses; oppressive, gut wrenching, unyielding and uncompromising in any [...]
Subheim :: No Land Called Home (Ad Noiseam)
Bass lines at center stage, NLCH is a masterpiece of tumultuous electronics and penetrating rhythms meant more for midnight desert gatherings or full theater engagements rather than individual headphone listening. [Release page] No Land Called Home, perhaps Subheim‘s most impacting release to date, collects the missing links between instrumental electronics, turbulent emotions and layers of [...]
Karsten Pflum :: No Noia My Love (Hymen)
The intermediate moods tucked between these warped low-end frequencies is perhaps Karsten Pflum’s most valued asset. Often a collection of therapeutic electronic debris, No Noia My Love takes Hymen into untapped directions full of spatial funk, corrugated rhythms and sliced melodies that stick to the cerebral cortex with pleasing turbulence. [Listen | Purchase] Taking a [...]
RUBRENE :: Glowing Overtones igloomag mix
Glowing Overtones is a snapshot of the current experimental-dubstep scene mixed as a continuous sheet of audible electricity. Chris Bolszo (aka DJ Rubrene) splices forty-three minutes of rhythm-infested bass lines, glitched-out melodies, ricocheting dub, and a plethora of digital manipulation tearing through low-riding overtones. Taking disjointed percussion to the limit and tying them together with [...]
AD NOISEAM :: Eye of the storm
[April 2011] Well-respected German electronic imprint Ad Noiseam celebrates its 10th anniversary this month. So we thought it’d be a great opportunity to say thanks for the amazing music the label has given us over the years by tracking down head honcho Nicolas Chevreux and chatting about all things past, present and future. Igloo :: [...]
Mobthrow :: s/t (Ad Noiseam)
Dark brooding atmospheres that build up to immense barrages of sound are then tempered by deft and hauntingly beautiful snatches of melodies played on a surprising array of instruments, while the drums and rhythmic elements pin the thing together with a combination of minute detail and the suggestion of a force and power that is [...]

Niveau Zero :: In_Sect (Ad Noiseam)
Frankly, there are far too many genres involved on this record to keep count of, yet they’re all flawlessly brought together to provide a very rewarding listening experience for both the club and the living room. [Listen | Purchase] In_Sect actually dropped over the summer, but as we’re still giving it regular listens some six [...]
Matta :: Prototype (Ad Noiseam)
Listening to Prototype on either headphones or a home hi-fi simply won’t cut it, as you’ll never fully understand what this record will do to you when unleashed on a punishing club system, whereupon you’ll have no choice but to lurch around the dancefloor and make the most hideous of gurning bassfaces. The German electronic [...]
Keef Baker :: Pure Language EP (Ad Noiseam, CD)
(06.22.06) Keef Baker joins Ad Noiseam for a flirtatiously short thirty-minute EP entitled Pure Language. Six tracks of splendid crunchy beatwork find Baker mixing jazz, ambience, male and female vocals and orchestral goodness into deeply head-nodding frameworks. He’s out to confound everyone, to put his past behind him, and let us know that the genres [...]
