about

Ars Dada is back with a new release on Draug Media after last year's well received EP Noir. Tenebris, along with Noir and an as of yet unfinished third EP, is to become a triple musical work spread over three different EP’s loosely describing the different stages of a cathartic process.

Where Noir is standing on the edge of the cliff above the abyss, Tenebris dives into the dark and paints the picture of the complete catastrophe. From the first track The Experiment Pt. I to last track The Experiment Pt. II, Ars Dada pulls the listener down a rabbithole of all encompassing jazz darkness, complimented by frenetic breakbeats, string harmonies, angry basslines and futuristic soundscapes. With him this time he’s got both local artists from his native city of Bodø’s music scene, and musicians from Arctic Philharmonic Orchestra.

Together they’ve created an electronic album that mercilessly pulls you into the freezing, arctic winternight of which you just cannot escape.

I am psyched about this EP. I love both Grind and Breakcore. I realize that breakcore will/must change as everything else does, and I love what you did with the ferocious recordings and the seemingly meticulous production. Thanks for a great listen. lokust9ine

Lst
by Ruby My Dear

supported by 5 fans who also own “Tenebris”

Lst parce que cet E.P. est la dernière création en date de Ruby My Dear mais aussi parce que c'est la fin de quelque chose. S'il a pu se ressourcer en retombant en enfance sur Brame et A Dada, il est désormais temps de grandir. Le breakcore ludique est sur la sellette ("Indians" est la seule piste apportant de la légèreté) : au jeu du chat et de la souris ne reste que le "SHA" noir, agile mais menaçant. Lst parce que LSD par un breakcore acide dangereux. Une des plus grosses bombes de l'année ! Jordan Vauvert

Midnight Twist
by Ruby My Dear

supported by 5 fans who also own “Tenebris”

Là où Dada Twist rassemblait des morceaux inédits, Midnight Twist est une compilation, avec quelques petites variations qui se repèrent dans les détails, dans laquelle Julien Chastagnol croise Ruby My Dear et Doc Colibri ("Faya Bumbaka" et "So What" — comme quoi le colibri ne meurt jamais vraiment). Un bon E.P. qui permet de revenir sur les morceaux de breakcore/jungle vitaminés et colorés de ses débuts, idéal pour se secouer en vingt minutes façon centrifugeuse ! C'eeeeest siiiii boooooon~ Jordan Vauvert
