ii. + Censor's debut album 'Empire Holds Down' is now available for
preorder! Censor hails from New York City, where he composes the
soundtrack to urban descent in anonymity. Combining complex drum and bass
rhythms with dark and expansive strings and destroyed samples, he tears
through the borders separating industrial, breakcore, dnb, and powernoise
music. His talent for producing intelligent rhythms is surpassed only by
his intent ear for truly beautiful melodies and complex orchestral moments.
Taking a nod from luminaries such as Panacea, he also leaves a truly
original mark on the minds of listeners with his violent yet intensely
beautiful songwriting. Keep your eyes on this one, he is going to be the
next titan of dark electronics.
The first 100 preorders come with a limited edition 3" featuring a
collaboration between Censor and Retnah, including an ambient remix by
Cdatakill. This EP is more violent and chaotic than the album, and will
come as a treat to fans of the distorted beat.
The album will begin shipping in mid-February.

iii. + Hive is pleased to announce the newest member of our swarm -
Duncan Avoid. We will be releasing DA's excellent new album Metaphysics
later this year. The collaborative project of Kaebin Yield and
Undacova/Erratic, Duncan Avoid bring to the table a deliberately
challenging mélange of twisted ambience, impossibly broad pallets of moody
and often agressive sounds, and sledge-shattered noisey breakcore. Dually
challenging and rewarding, absorbing Metaphysics is like acclimating to a
new dialect - familiar elements are sometimes present in the sound, but the
result is also wholly different, disorienting and exciting. Features
remixs by C-Drik, Mirex artist Subskan, and Kotra.
Expect to be enthralled - this duo from Belgium are expert sculptors of
sound and architects of rhythm.

iv. + New reviews are up on the website from Wet Works Ezine of Chango
Feo's 'Alaska' and Terminal Sound System's 'Solaris'.
"Solaris is an album I find myself listening to over and over again.
Throughout it's 9 tracks and 54 minutes, "Solaris" presents a work of
paranoid tension, masterful percussion and layering, laid back trip-hop
rhythms and enough substance to have you hitting the repeat button quite a
few times."
