.: Review :.
In an age that sees young and old record labels pass on with little fanfare,
10 strong years of Hadshot Haheizar is no reason to keep quiet.
Always pushing ahead of the trends while leaving the imitators in the dust,
the unending hunt for invent ive sounds has seen the musical evolution of
Hadshot take a variety of twists and turns while never losing its ear for
excellence.
To celebrate this anniversary, label chief DJ Yaniv ups the ante to give the
most original output the label has seen in years. With 8 exclusive new tracks
alongside a pair of proven dancefloor burners making their first appearance
on CD, Based on a True Story shows that 10 years is merely the beginning for
Hadshot , with more than enough fresh ideas to keep surprising for another
decade.
Starting the CD in style is the stunning opus Smart Thing to Say from Berlin-
based duo That's. This fusion of chic Italian-flavored groove and classic
electro influences provides the remarkable opening befitting of this
monumental release. Venturing into gentle glitchy minimalism is Aquatica, the
debut work of new artist Laurine Frost , a superb track that will sound at
home in the dingiest of underground basement dancefloors as well as on
expansive club systems. Continuing the onslaught of unheard material , Jab
provides fine moments of filthy electro grooves dabbed with a pinch abstract
melodic chaos in the aptly- titled My Pillow Smells Like Me. Upcoming Hadshot
artist Jey Fever's ueber-heavy number Protein harkens the finer moments of
French electro-tech-house with its plodding bassline and Blackstrobe-esque
sparse brooding melodies. K300 gives a retro flare to the CD with the EBM-
influenced Good Old Future, a track whose robotic voices and heavy kicks
bring the sounds of yesteryear up to date with current production and musical
ideas. Berlin techno heroes Electrixx are up next with their trademark tight
sound that has garnered them worldwide acclaim as well as live spot in the
closing festivities of the legendary Tresor Club. Monosurround add their
expert remixing touches to the track, giving Second Lesson the backing of 2
of the country's most in-demand duos. Italian heavyweights Mario Piu, Ricky
Fobis & Lady Brian provide the CD with its most dramatic moments through the
emotional and spacey piece Hal9000. Another new artist , One Night Stand,
weighs in with their debut Minor Thoughts, an exercise in deep tribal
minimalism. As the CD nears its finish, Audiolizer's operatic Divine Comedy
creates a stuningly unique number, combining creepy operatic chanting with
an overdriven bassline to form a striking piece that defies both genre and
description. Bringing a close to the CD is Hadshot favorite Schatsi , with
yet another of his uniquely-styled pieces - Radio Schatsi finds itself
tuned on the dial halfway between floor-oriented electro and abstract
punked-out sci-fi electronic beats, creating the perfect stand-out
conclusion for this notable CD.
With all tracks making their debut appearances on CD, Based on a True Story
gives listeners a sneak-peak into the immediate future of Hadshot's ongoing
development while providing DJs with the most current sounds to move the club.
Celebrate 10 years of thrills with a release proving that labels are only as
old as their ideas.
