Detritus - Endogenous
After a myriad of compilation tracks and a few demos that caused quite a stir in the hard electronic music scene, Welsh musician David Dando-Moore finally presents his first full length album, a compact collection of 10 tracks that ties together his influences of industrial, drum'n'bass, orchestral music, and dark ambient and carries them down a new road.

Detritus - Origin
Detritus's second album, 'Origin', takes this act's combination of clean and powerful drum'n'bass, deep strings and emotion-ridden melodies to a whole new level. Brilliantly produced, this album is a perfect combination of beauty and musical talent, of human feeling and driven beats. One does not often get an album which is satisfying both for the head, at home, and the feet, on the dance floor; Detritus is proud to present the perfect example.

Detritus - Thresholds
Coming out exactly a year after Detritus's second album, 'Origin', the shorter 'Thresholds' is both a perfect companion to its predecessor and a point of departure. Writing 'Origin' had been a very slow process for David Dando-Moore, aiming at offering a balanced and varied showcase of his music, while upping the ante as far as production and recording were concerned. 'Thresholds', on the other hand, was written over a much shorter time span in the Spring of 2006, and is more of a direct, compact and powerful statement.

Detritus - Fractured
Four years 'Endogenous' and two after 'Origin', David Dando-Moore (Detritus) presents 'Fractured', his third full-length studio album. Here he once again manages to both remain true to the elements that have made his success but bring them a step further.

Detritus - Things Gone Wrong
Detritus's fourth full length album is both a general update of what was hinted at with the previous three and the artist's opening to new territory. 'Things Gone Wrong' is very detailed, combining ferocious drum'n'bass moments with delicate and touching melodies; it caresses, kicks and impresses and stands as Detritus's most crafted album. A treat for the fan, and an excellent snapshot of what this act is about for the newcomers.

DJ Hidden - The Later After
After 25 releases on vinyl over the course of seven years (not counting the ones of his Outside Agency and Semiomime monikers), for such labels as Ruff Teck, Outbreak, Killing Sheep or Sub/Version, here at last is the first full length album by DJ Hidden. 'The Later After' presents an hour of new material ranging from hard, twisted drum'n'bass to downtempo atmospheric tracks. At once a long-overdue crowning for this musician and a perfect introduction for people who have been missing out, "The Later After" is the most accomplished and unequalled achievement yet by this impudently skillful producer.

DJ Hidden - After Before
The vinyl companion to the album 'The Later After' (adn73), DJ Hidden's 'After Before' presents on a 12" record two of the most club-oriented tracks from the album. A deadly tool for any DJ and the genesis of many packed dance floors, these two loud, slowly-building, insidious and agile tracks demonstrate DJ Hidden's ability at twisting the very roots of drum'n'bass and fusing them with his own high-fi production skills.

DJ Hidden - The Words Below
Offering a sequel to what is already seen as a masterpiece wasn't an easy task for DJ Hidden. And yet 'The Words Below' manages to take this producer's sharp, beautiful and percussive sound a step higher than 2007's 'The Later After'. Intense, crisp and varied, this new album doesn't only confirm that DJ Hidden is at the very top of the pyramid of drum'n'bass producers, but causes us to ask ourselves how we could have thought otherwise.

DJ Hidden - The Words Below Limited Vinyl Series Vol. 3
'The Words Below Limited Vinyl Series' (in September, October and December 2009) is a vinyl pendant to DJ Hidden's second full length album, with the first two volumes each containing three album tracks that have been re-edited and mixed with club DJs in mind and the final volume containing two exclusive remixes by DJ Hidden and Eye-D (the other half of The Outside Agency).

Enduser - Run War
Enduser's first full length album for Ad Noiseam presents a selection of 17 previously unreleased tracks recorded by Lynn Standafer between 2000 and 2004. Here are the tunes, played relentlessly at shows and parties, which paved the way to Enduser's well earned recognition. Old demo tracks were re-worked and re-mastered to meet the high quality of Enduser's most recent material.

Enduser - Bollywood Breaks
While Lynn Standafer's recent output might have roots in his current home of Cincinnati or in some back alley of Kingston, Jamaica, it is on the heights of the Himalayas and in the halls of Hindi temples that we find him this time. Never ceasing his quest to make the audience dance, Enduser aims this time at the belly rather than the feet, and invites his fans to an intercultural wedding. While the groom is the same noisy, loud bad boy, the bride is coming from the higher ranks of society and wears henna.

Enduser - Mashed Up And Beatdown
In 2004, Lynn Standafer had made you move your belly to the sound of his 'Bollywood Breaks' and returns here with a record paying tribute to one of his best known tracks, the rocket-propelled "Beatdown". This treat for daring DJs comes along with new, reworked versions by several labelmates.

Enduser - Pushing Back
A major contribution to Enduser's growing discography, 'Pushing Back' sees Lynn Standafer integrate new elements to his typically frenetic breakcore/drum'n'bass, and take listeners on a new memorable ride.
