Adam Freeland HATE EP
A. HATE
B1. Where's Your God Now
B2. Glowsticks
Hate, the blistering new E.P. of original tracks from Adam Freeland, caps a triumphant year for the pioneering DJ and Grammy-nominated producer.
True to form, the new Hate e.p., released by FreelandтАЩs own acclaimed Marine Parade label, features him doing what he does best: making dirty electronic funk, shot through with signature sonic iconoclasm. From its first snare crack, the crunching title trackтАФalready the floor-filling highlight of FreelandтАЩs setsтАФsums up his latest musical direction: here, stuttering, squiggly beats and squelching, distorted bass booms into anarchic electro fury like youтАЩve never heard from Mr. Freeland before. Expect this one to become a cross-genre smash a la FreelandтАЩs breakthrough hit тАЬWe Want Your SoulтАЭ: from Ed Banger freaks to dubstep heads, breaks geeks to even forward-thinking techno/prog spinners, all will find something to love about тАЬHate.тАЭ The e.p.тАЩs second track, тАЬWhereтАЩs Your God Now,тАЭ continues FreelandтАЩs ability to defy convention while keeping asses shaking. Opening with a surreal burst of krautrock synths, тАЬWhereтАЩs Your God NowтАЭ slows down the tempo to showcase meat-cleaving hard rock riffs that suggest what mightтАЩve happened if Josh Homme and Jack White were Moog manglers instead of guitar heroes. Meanwhile, true to its ironically ravetastic title, тАЬGlowsticks,тАЭ the e.p.тАЩs closer, proves a hands-in-the-air dancefloor killer par excellence. Resistance is futile as glitchy synth hooks give way to Moroder arpeggios and menacing acid basslines, paving the way for a future-retro breakdown that raises everything to a higher state of consciousness. The perfect taster for FreelandтАЩs upcoming artist album (due Spring 2008), Hate keeps crowds moving while surprising them with every twist and turn. Just try HateтАФyouтАЩre gonna love itтАж
