The 3rd chapter of the ever original and manic/hectic Trade and Distribution from Adaadat landed on my doorstep and puked up a load of pixilated stuff, which has now stained the floor. DAMN YOU ADAADAT!!!!! (shakes fist in the air) . I’m only joking about the puking and pixilation, lets get on with the review.

This review will be in a slightly different format than usual; with their being twenty tracks on this sucker I want to make sure I cover each and every one:

Germlin - Yeah!!!

1min 29's worth of a tiny exploding barrel of electricity, wrapped in a package of cloud skin and tiny glowing blocks with ever changing faces and expressions on them. Stand this next to a blue bear looking character with a circuit board face, and you have it down.
SWEET!

Ove-Naxx - 100 Man

A slow chilled dub reggae alarm festival in the middle of the warmest warehouse in the world, flanked from each side with breakbeats and hammer attacks, which leave no man standing. PO PO PO!

Cutting pink with knives - Septembre

Ok...imagine being surrounded by devils, with the volume turned up to eleventeen, times that by infinity and drink a goblet of energon straight from Megatrons brand new optics. Refreshingly chaotic.

Miklos the accountant - squirrel staring at a beetle

Hahah now that’s an amazing title name, I just can see it now, the Squirrel is looking very intense and stern whilst the beetle just stands there black as night with ZERO emotion on its face, now that’s a party I want to be at. The track is a bump glitch reverb speed skip through the mind of a drunken photocopier on NYE 2999. Thuds, electronic peels and gassy wave attacks mix themselves together and spread out over the floor like a tiny volcano on fire. Lets do this!

doddodo - heresy country papa

YEHHHHHHHHH! bang bang bang bang bang bang thud thud thud thud (8 bit my balls off). It’s a boy and his blob inside a wormhole, being sucked into oblivion with a huge smile beaming across as its doomed face. Hammer this together with some cut up hip hop vocals and a spooky singing vocal which sounds like it’s escaped from a village deep in the Japanese countryside and you are just about there.

acrnym - rhona

Tangent ripping gameboy induced, coin smashing and power up abandoning goodness from Acrynm in what I’m sure is a debut Adaadat outing. One for those of you out there, who can’t not move when a tiny beat and Mario love is combined, Mario justice for you all, and I love it.

atom truck - flight of the atom

RELEASE the drums.....its attack time. Revolving drums and spattering acid style whirlings blend and repel each other, in this short but sweet invasion into your hearts heart. Stand back and watch the damage.

Romvelope - think thonk thank

think THONK thank, that’s one cool set of words. The track is cool and crazy mad all in one go, sounding like an explosion in a noodle bar as rush hour is just beginning, the whole place is torn apart by a crazy glass of sake which has HAD it. Plinking and downscaling synths beep and bleep as skyscraping destroying beats stand proudly alongside ear splitting audio which tries to sting you in the face. Yep.

dj 100000000 - dev remix

Is that one billion or one trillion? whatever it is, I love the name. Picture a whirlwind which has sucked up every last piece of technology on earth and the government have just let off three electro magnetic pulses to try and destroy the airborn invader, slice that into lunch box size pieces and feed it to the children of this island nation. Stand back and watch the results, yeh just STAND back. Rhythmic insanity.

ommm - feather touch logic control

Ommm takes it down a level, with a smooth acoustic piano introduction melody which is gradually sliding under a waterfall formed entirely
of miniature helicopter rotors and wafer thin slices of bubbling antidote. A very very refreshing track, with a secret cave formation for you all to explore. Well pld.

dj top gear - slapper

Is this clarkson? has he signed to adaadat? find out and get back to me. This one is a minature mashup inside a balloon factory, with a bunch of Toads friend from the Blue Switch Palace causing all kinds of trouble, LEAVE THE BUTTONS, SWITCHES AND LEVERS alone you little bastards!!!. Damn the Toad people, toady fucks. Shout out to DJ Top Gear, the vocals in this one are rich quality.

wet dreams - take this

3m.33seconds of an adventure into a upside down land packed with bursting sounds, wall expanding meltdowns and heavy heavy bowel stripping basslines, full of tiny scrunched up secret maps which directions to all of your past dreams, "SON YOUR EGO IS WRITING CHEQUES THAT YOUR BODY CANT CASH". Damn straight, you tell him.

dj scotch egg + hrvatski - live at the ica

The egg is back, this time joined by Hrvatski. You remember that scene from Event Horizon when they manage to descramble that video message from the previous crew of the ship? yeh you remember that, yeh you do, I bet you do...I bet you do. Well take that message as being quite friendly and peaceful, as their is a new robotic sheriff in town and he is crazy as shit. Just listen to it and you will understand.
Those dudes at the ICA on this night must have had new ears / eardrums grafted on the second they walked out the building. Awesome and neck destroying stuff.

ohhh!!! - square peg round hole

ohhhhhh!!!! yeeeeehhhh!!! Let’s bop and robo strut to the gabba hardcore technology bit mashup ohhh!!! has prepared for us. Just do this one loud and louder, and then add a little more volume. Crazy fresh!

silverlink - drunk girls

something is powering up..I can hear it.....the powering up is definitely happening. This one turns into a street vocal attack, with the lyrics being pounded out through a grimy filter, cast in concrete and coated with anti climb paint. All wrapped together with clinky beeps and window shaking bass pulses. Interesting stuff.

yaporigami - yamato

the smallest machine ever made, singing a song through its tiny ' size of a grain of rice' mouth....well you think that’s him singing until he opens his real mouth and projects out a gargantuan barrage of madness, with his original playground melodies hiding underneath. Possibly the most bpm I have ever heard in a single track.

duracell + dj scotchegg

Vwwwwwww....screeeeeeeeeeeeek.......glllggggggggoooooo. Welcome to the distorted land where these two minds have clashed, it’s like a train has come of its rails and is ploughing through the green green grass and green green hills, spitting barrel loads of diesel all over the show. Beats are processed and mashed and electric ramblings gauge themselves on all the victims in the room, one to pop and rotate along to with your personal workstations.

yoko oh no!

A fun and smiling and sunlight refracting walkthrough, carved into a cube which has the corners cut off. These corners are pressed, rolled and then cut into small pills which you MUST take every single day, or I’m telling the goddamn police.

horatio pollard - elton

Horation freakin Pollard is here to cast a magic spell (release some spores) through a wavey room folding tune that has all the elements that wake up those acetate seagulls on your windowsill. Sprites spit on the floor and then scarper as the teacher arrives, as bubbling fountains of chalk and quink fill the whole place to the rafters, leaving no cubic centimetre untouched. Cool stuff.

extractor fan - big up high tech

Fuzzy bowel ripping waves of time folding audio are in order. This one fills the sky with every shape you have ever seen and continues to pipe a hissy rubberized pulse around them all. A really cool track to end off the cd.

Adaadat is a label where you will always find the stuff you never thought was out there. Trade 3 is clever, original and puts a smile on your face with its crazy mad insanity, and has a bunch of new names that I’m looking forward to hearing more of.

The musical world would be a very boring place without Adaadat doing what they do.

Very recommended to expand your ears.
