EARSUG 034EP
|
"Blessed with the ability to make music which sounds like Sleeparchive or the Sahko crew getting down to some serious dancefloor action, 'The Cha Cha Machine' is slinky without being ephemeral, resembling the kind of prime-cut our rose-tinted disposition would have us believing kept the Detroit dance floors fully stocked back in the day. Casting off the more sluggish aspects of previous releases, the four tracks included here are crystalline in their detail -- with each exhalation and digital rustle mapped in 20/20 vision for your listening pleasure. With highlights including some Carl Craig-esque determination and a killer blossom of surface bass, Add Noise have again delivered the kind of 12" that deserves an audience well beyond the minimal crowd. Subtract silence..."

"Add Noise present their sixth single. 'Loose Wire' is presented in similar but varied palettes -- the top side AC version is marginally heavier on the drums and a deal more emphatic with hi-hats, yet everything is still reduced to a unified, delirious narcotic flow. The groove is beautifully implicit, and this tune is surely set to soundtrack the most contemporary minimal dancefloors, as previous tracks from this hugely talented producer found themselves staples in the boxes of the ubercoolische set worldwide. The ultra fine-tuned DC version retains the chirruping, reduced woodblocks, beating out a mesmeric mantra like so many electronic cicadas oscillating inside the mix. This is a prime example of one of those records which begins to take on whole new proportions when emitted through large club systems, the micro-sounds shift, moving and panning all over the palpable bass-throb. Extra elements arriving in this heady, druggy brew constitute events in their own right, altering consciousness and inducing listeners and dancers alike to a united plane. The absence of obvious bass drum tactics should make this superb twelve manna for the minimal nations as one." --Boomkat

EARSUG 030EP

"'Re-Surfaced' is a limited pressing remix of Add Noise's 'Surface Noise' track. This tune was Add Noise's first release for Earsugar Beatbox and was supported by DJs like Loco Dice, Michael Mayer, Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier and sundry hipsters. This remix came out of performing the track live, so Add Noise thought it might be a nice vibe to make the new version available in limited quantities. The vinyl cut was done by Tim Xavier at Manmade Mastering in Brooklyn, Tim also cuts records for Abe Duque Records, Spectral and runs his own Ltd. 400 series label...Add Noise create a modern take on sub bass driven house music with echoes of previous eras in experimental dance music production."

EARSUG 026EP

"Following up their mighty 'Citronella' and 'Surface Noise' 12"s with the recent 'Tropilcalia' comes yet another lesson in loose-limbed, minimal techno. Taking their inspiration from grooves laid down by Carl Craig in the early '90s and those haunted dub mixes that emanated from Lee 'Scratch' Perry's Black Ark in the late '70s -- the duo Add Noise create a modern take on sub bass driven house music with echoes of those bygone eras in experimental dance music production. A perfect 8am, the after party has only just started kind of track, it rolls along with subtle nuances whilst dislocated voices echo in the background, riding in and out on the minimal groove. Another fine example of dancefloor repetition from the secretive Add Noise crew."

"Following on from their debut release Surface Noise which kicked off the Earsugar Beatbox 12" series in the Spring of this year, duo Add Noise return with their follow up single 'Citronella,' making this the third release in Earsugar's more club inflected 12" vinyl series. 'Citronella' is prime techno minimalism drawing considerable inspiration from dub, warmer climes and robots. Imagine machine rhythms echoing from a soundsystem in the tropical night. A kind of surreal heat. The elektro dub version 'Jam Econo' on the flipside is our favourite... maximum abstract bounce for your deeper party types. No wonder its already found considerable favour with the likes of Ricardo Villalobos."
