50 038EP
|
Addison Groove releases another rattling body-shaker with his new EP on 50 Weapons. This one is pure fiyah. "Dat Ass," the record's fierce opening track, sounds like electro undergone a radical undercut. Maximal sub-bass meets a sceletized breakbeat, military percussion, euphoric vocal shouts and some actual whistle-blowing to add that extra dancefloor discipline. A2 features the late DJ Rashad and with its stunning title "U Been Gone" sounds like an homage to one of footwork's greatest. "Push it" brings some hi-NRG flavor to the record and "Masamune" brings the whistle back on a minimal D'n'B cut.

Gatefold double LP version. Features eight tracks from the album, including one vinyl-exclusive track. File under: junglish-footwork flux by one of UK bass music's figureheads. Excellent sophomore album including collaborations with DJ Die, Sam Binga, MC DRS and Josefina. "Bass music arguably wouldn't be what it is right now without Addison Groove." Resident Advisor, March 2012; Boomkat wrote about Addison Groove's debut album Transistor Rhythm (50 006CD/LP): "Addison Groove, drawing on juke, electro, dubstep, ghetto-house and jeep-rocking hip-hop variants to create super-heavy bass music, leaves you with no alternative but to dance and/or bite your lower lip raw." The dancing and lip-biting parts still count for his follow-up James Grieve, but the influences and music genres have slightly changed. There's a strong jungle influence present from beginning to end. James Grieve is also less raw and jackin' than the predecessor and seamlessly combines spacious, laid back and more rollin' tracks with a bunch of straightforward club bangers. While Transistor Rhythm was definitely Chicago-inspired, James Grieve is pure Bristol through-and-through.

Double LP version. Following several releases for the well-known Tempa label (as artist Headhunter), the debut album for the current new project by Antony Williams aka Addison Groove is now released on Modeselektor's sub-label 50 Weapons! Addison Groove started life under a different pseudonym altogether. Recording as Headhunter, with an LP and 12" releases on the influential Tempa label stretching back to 2007, he achieved legendary status within the dubstep scene. His work at the deeper end of the spectrum graced the label an impressive seven times, a figure matched only by Skream. This work looked set to continue until 2010 when, seemingly out of nowhere, he crafted one of the biggest bass music tracks of the decade, "Footcrab," under the new name of Addison Groove. The response to "Footcrab" was phenomenal, receiving critical and commercial success in equal measure across the dance music scene. Getting plays not only from the dubstep DJs that Williams was used to reaching, it also found its way into the record boxes of techno and house heavyweights such as Aphex Twin, Surgeon, Ricardo Villalobos and Mr. Scruff, bringing an enormous new audience to his music in the process. Taking influences from the Chicago ghetto tek and juke scenes, Addison Groove's impact on UK bass music has been colossal and unprecedented, sparking a huge interest in these styles from his peers and the listening public alike. Transistor Rhythm is a rare example of a release where the description "much-anticipated" is not just a fantasy of some PR agent. Features guest artists Spank Rock and Mark Pritchard.
