AD NOISEAM
Year founded and founder: 2001 by Nicolas Chevreux
Location: Berlin, Germany
Styles: A bit of everything; often electronic.
Roster: AZ-Rotator, Keef Baker, Bong-Ra, Cdatakill, Crno Klank, Curtis Chip, Dälek, Detritus, Enduser, Exillon, DJ Hidden, Horchata, Andrey Kiritchenko, Cordell Klier, Knifehandchop, Jvox, Lapsed, Larvae, Mad EP, Mago, Magwheels, Mothboy, Panacea, Wilt.
Managed by: Nicolas Chevreux
Why established: First as an off-shoot of the now defunct Recycle Your Ears webzine.
Differentiating characteristics: Ad Noiseam is a label whose main characteristic might be that it puts the artists and the music first. There is no constant "corporate image" in the cover artwork, the music styles and format (CD / vinyl) are varied, and the artists are international.Label Philosophy: The music—good music, well-produced and well-presented—comes first. The label is here to spread it, not to be in the foreground.
Proudest accomplishment: Being still here, however down the sales of music have gone.
Currently promoting: Larvae's new album Dead Weight.
Upcoming: new Cdatakill, Enduser, Wilt, and Mothboy albums.
Favourite label(s): Hard to say. At the moment, I listen to a lot of releases from Ipecac, Mush, and Anticon, but I would have said Big Dada, Lex, and Def Jux if you have asked me two months ago.
Non-Ad Noiseam artist who perfectly embodies the Ad Noiseam esthetic: Mike Patton.
Album(s) we wished we'd issued: Beastie Boys' Check Your Head.
Amusing anecdote: Every review mention samples of the Star Wars soundtrack on Larvae's Empire and the cello on Detritus's Origin. For some reason, everybody has failed to recognize the "Cradle Of Filth" riffs in the first and the Prince samples in the second.
