1. New releases
Out today on Ad Noiseam is:
EXILLON "The Keening Dithers" - adn50 - CD
Second full length album for this San Francisco-based electronica wiz-kid, blending an atypical amount of emotion and beauty in a complex but human cloth of broken beats, subtle rhythms and delicate atmospheres. Known for this records on Zod and Component Records, Exillon offers here his most emotional work so far. Musically challenging and yet accessible, "The Keening Dithers" is a delicate and intricate work that confirms Exillon's status as a prime electronic artist.

2. Still fresh:
BONG-RA - I Am The God Of Hellfire - adn55 - double 12"
New full length album by the Dutch sonic devil Bong-Ra. Signing here an upcoming classic of the genre, full of a mature, accessible sound relying on demonic basses and monstrous riffing, and enlisting such vocalists as Atari Teenage Riot's Hanin Elias, Drop The Lime and Mike Redman. Bong-Ra proves here that downtempo can be as suffocating, sinister and efficient as hectic BPMs, and focus on twisting his trademark rave stabs into a mean and wicked dance floor marvel. An unmissable classic.

3. Next releases
Coming on February 20th:
ANTIGEN SHIFT - The Way of the North - adn57 - CD
Antigen Shift finally presents his second album, in which the raw noisy beats have left room to deeper bass, syncopated rhythms and rich melodies. Harmonious and irresistible, ?The Way of the North? is the coming of age for this essential act of the hard electronic scene. Antigen Shift does a lot more than fulfilling his fans's expectations here, bring a fresh look at his music and signing a massive, efficient and terribly seducing album.
