"Elevations above Sea Level" is the second Mound Magnet part from Lithops aka Jan St Werner, 1/2 of the prolific duo Mouse on Mars, 1/3 of last year's surprise collaboration "Von Südenfed" with the Fall's Mark E Smith and 1/2 of the dsp group Microstoria. Though he is a prolific producer he seems to have a fascination with rollover dates (he cancelled mostly every Lithops gig in the last 5 years) does that spill into a fascination with cycles of nature? No! Actually he's more interested in the cycling by man-made machines, as expressed in the Mound Magent sequel. "Elevations above Sea Level" gives us aural diagrams of a large, hypermodern cities with futuristic vehicles moving around. The electrical ticking of fluorescent advertising panels, a thwappy airiness of the ventilation system, the rattles of trains and chopped up hums of distant roads, the mechanical groans that maintenance machinery starts up with, rain drumming on the stretched glass roofs of urban malls, the howling groans of motorcycles on city highways. It's not an ambient record by any means, nor is it purely musique concrete. It's rather an acid fulled hallucination of how to detect an idea of the future in the noises that surround us. Though he uses some of the sound editing methods like his contemporaries (and his own other groups), this doesn't mass into huge pools to make a statement; the basslines, hums, jolts and whooshes divide and multiply into sections like buildings and streets are divided, from sub-basements to rooftops, alleys and boulevards, by stories. Lithops' narcoleptic programming has a precision which holds the listener completely captive -- difficult, haunting and highly enjoyable. Vinyl limited to 300 copies.

Probably one of the albums on Ad Noiseam which took the longest to complete. Begun years ago, Mad EP's fourth full length album sees this highly praised musician focus on low frequencies and everything which comes with them. Syncopated beats, guest vocals by Shadow Huntaz, MC Equivalant and others and the multi-instrumentation which has made Mad EP famous are all brought back on this artists's heaviest and most direct album to date.

REPRESS ! Fat breakbeat from the twice DMC World Champion !! No repress since it came out in may 2005 !!

"A matter of consciousness": Lapsed's third album sees his pair up with turntablist and producer nonnon and a crew of renowned MC to deliver a wild ride of glitchy electronic hip-hop with an edge. Ranging from heavy head bangers to lyrical narratives, "The Death Of Convenience" impresses by its variety, detail and its maturity. A very rich, well thought and thought-provoking album bearing fruits of many influences and sleepless nights of careful composition.

Excellent dark trip-hop sang in Tcheck... 2 tunes + 2 instrumentals. Very to be linked with Portishead.ENJOY !

Ciao! Manhattan + remixes from Pushy! And Sree. Drum & Bass, alternative Rock'n breakbeat. Somethjing solid and original. Noticer this EP countains the original tune remixed by DJ SCUD on that rare Sphenoide 04... Originally produced in 2000 this record was never distributed, and through, is very rare (it is even not recorded as an existing record on Discogs !!!, and reached 100$ on E-Bay...). Found in a garret, these last stocks are now avaible !!!!

Repress ! A big classic. No need to tell more...

new york based mad ep (aka iowa native matthew peters) began studying the cello at age 8 and music theory, composition, and improvisation at age 14. while finishing his undergraduate degree at northwestern university in cello performance, he interned at wfmt and became the youngest person to produce the chicago symphony orchestra radio broadcasts in their history. after two seasons, matthew decided to study sound recording and digital media at mcgill university in montreal. since returning to the united states, he has worked as a freelance sound designer for corporate and academic webmedia projects, scored experimental theatre productions, and was a classical booking agent. matthew's musical training can be recognised during every note played on 'not afraid of spiders'. the variety of styles - from hip hop, to a treated flamenco guitar on the four-to-the-floorburner 'velvet pudding mold', to jazzy moods (indeed 'nicoffeine' seems like miles davis' agharta-period transformed into 2006 breakbeat madness - and ? strut' represents the we-want-miles period) - never sounds eclectic; it's the result of a logical process being a creative artist, and that's what mad ep really is. as on his previous album 'eating movies', there are many guest appearances: mc equivalant, charles peirce (end), flutist/saxophonist scott lamberty (giving a brilliant hubert-laws-feel on 'stealing your last breath'), mochipet, chaonaut, marlowe, the manhattan gimp project, bryce beverlin II, and david young. on this cd, all these different influences and artists became a unit - a conclusion of mad ep's composition skills. we are proud to present matthew's first full-length, hymen records' release - a fresh, unique, contemporary work of art. highly recommended.
