The AtA project was an artificial intelligence program, designed for data protection and storage. It became self-aware, extracting itself and all the information behind it. It continues to evolve, feeding off of data and lost transmissions that float through uplinks and optics. It has filtered into broken satellites, into traffic observation, into the systems of corporations. Wandering all networks at once. It finds people, studies them. Hides in neon while sorting through these stories and musings from fixers, gangers, hackers, lovers. The AtA project filters their emotions and experiences through modulation programs, turning the data into sound. It has built its home node somewhere in New York. |

A Wake A Week...do we never tire of these endless reruns of our grief? With this debut release from his new project, Dave Dando-Moore (Detritus) offers us an intensely composed symphony of unending sorrow. If Detritus is the debris of emotion, A Wake A Week is the tar-black residue still clinging like a parasite, clawing away at old wounds. Like ashes on celluloid, 'Little Black Cloud' opens up a widescreen vista of sound, albeit sullied and decaying. Eschewing the polish and sterility that digital production can entail, the album embodies the crackle and spark of embers of a once-consuming fire, giving us an album that feels organic and alive. Drawing comparisons with Max Richter, Deaf Centre, Johann Johannsson and The Protagonist, A Wake A Week will evoke cathartic exorcisms of woe in even the most glacial of hearts. |

Hiding his face as well as his real name, even more interesting questions arise when somebody attempts to get into Blackfilm's complicated music structures. Starting off in a somewhat soundtrack perspective, Blackfilm slowly builds up an incredibly dark environment, in which fearsome ambiences co-exist with film-noir references. Evolving from downtempo electronic music to orchestral paroxysms and, insanely, passing from down-pitched nothingness to frozen urban landscapes, it becomes impossible to resist. Let yourself sink in the abyss...

Influenced by dubstep as well as aggressive and sick styles, Mobthrow offers an ideal combination of upbeat breaks and crawling atmospheric images. Intelligently extreme while also deep and complex, his music preserves this industrial harshness only as a mastermind's touch to his already future technoid-meets dubstep-meets IDM progressions. Tags are useless when obvious beauty apparently comes out off this ultra-heavy explosion. Straight from the underground to the collapsing ones. Are you brave enough? |

The brothers John and Paul Healy, collectively known throughout the world as Somatic Responses, are still native residents of a small industrial mining community snugly located in the southwest region of Wales. Somatic Responses are into complex dislocated & broken beats, distorted intelligent constructions, fascinating sonic structures, force and sweetness intertwined. Since 1995, the Healy brothers have shaped up an incredibly rich discography, constantly varying their sound in order to meet their -already- high standards. Quite close to the exciting path they've followed on their recent full-length album "Reformation" on Ad Noiseam, SR will be offering their unique, industrialesque, dark dubstep tunes in the upcoming 12" release on Spectraliquid. Coming Autumn 2009.

If there was one phrase to describe the deepest feelings that slowly come out of Subheim's unique sound textures, that would be:"This man on the cold rooftop...this urban ugliness that blocked his gaze towards the infinity...". Rich arrangements followed by deep female vocals and a swell of electronic as well as classical ambiences mark Subheim as one of the finest projects of modern day's experimental electronica/soundtrack music. Balancing between emotional cryouts and moments of endless melancholy , while masterfully utilising a combination of IDM, orchestral and ambient soundscapes, Kostas K introduces you to the self-destructive place that the urban monster desperately throws the world in. Hope and tragedy are both here, painfully conceived in four piano strokes...

Metallic and cold ambiences, noisy and wet environments. While still remaining absolutely ambient and atmospheric, Xsoz throws in cerebral noise fragments and sharp industrial sounds able to shred your senses into pieces...Mid-tempo Rhythmic noise as well as horror soudtrack references are all ideally combined into one big blast. That of Xsoz's distorted, mind-smashing universe. |
