(Adnoiseam) BACKLASH BEATDOWN- The ultimate collaboration- The clubnight Backlash, usually known for its more harder music policy chills the fuck out for once and teams up with Beatdown Records- arguably Newcastle's best independent record store to bring an occasional offshoot evening specialising in all things downbeat, electronic and well a bit different- leftfield hiphop,dubstep, electronica, soundscape, dark ambient, the odd soundtrack- inessence good stoner music that hovers between shit that you like to listen to in the house and head-nodding stuff that you would like to hear when you are out but are rarely given the chance to. Headlining the gig will be MAD EP...Mad..who? I can hear you say..Well trust us on this one...If we had to make a comparison with people you do know then the following folk come do come to mind Early DJ SHADOW, Prefuse 73, The instrumental stuff on labels like Anticon and more recent releases on Ninja Tunes...this guy is cetainly on par with all of them. He is a New York-based classical musician and electronic composer who makes dark, rich and beautiful instrumental hiphop. His albums to date are all must-haves-“Eating Movies” in 2004, Not Afraid Of Spiders in 2006 and most recently “The Madlands”, a gathering of three mini-albums forming a very coherent entity, finally sees the light of the day in the form of a triple package showcasing Mad EP's most delicate and soundtrack-oriented work to date.
