Band: Dälek Album: Gutter Tactics Label: Ipecac Website: www.deadverse.com/ Words: Andy Devine The New Jersey duo of MC Dälek and DJ 'The Oktopus' are back with their fifth album proper. Although you may disagree, Dälek are at their heart a hip-hop act. The fact that they often use industrial beats and sheets of sound to backtrack the stream of consciousness vocals doesn't take away from the fact that [...]
3 nouvelles dates viennent de s'ajouter à la tournée française de Dälek : Mar. 30, 2009 Lyon,FR @ Grrrrrrrnd Zero Apr. 6, 2009 Montpellier,FR @ Rockstore Apr. 8, 2009 Bordeaux,FR @ Krakatoa (retrouvez toutes les dates de concert et sortie d'albums sur le calendrier du blog)
Presentazione : "Gutter Tactics" è il quinto album in studio (escludendo EP e collaborazioni varie) dei Dalek duo Hip Hop alternativo di Newark Giudizio complessivo : L'ultima fatica dei Dälek non è il loro migliore album ma è comunque un disco molto interessante (e questo la dice lunga sulla qualità media del duo). Se nel mezzo capolavoro "Absence" giocavano con basi quasi shoegazing, qui invece ci si immerge in un mondo claustrofobico, ossessivo e impenetrabile in cui vieni sommerso dai beat iperdistorti. Gruppi come i Dälek dimostrano che per fortuna oggi l'hip hop non è [...]

Das erste Dälek-Album der Post-Bush-Ära ist alles andere als optimistisch ausgefallen. Auch der sechste Longplayer der Avant-HipHop-Truppe ist kein Zuckerschlecken. Nachdem "Abandoned Language" für Dälek -Verhältnisse geradezu leichte, ambienteske Kost zu bieten hatte, zerrt das neue Album der Amerikaner wieder stärker an den Nerven. Wie auf den frühen Werken Däleks legt Producer Oktopus die Hörerschaft auf den Noise-Teppich, während MC Dälek mit seinen Reimen den Schleifbohrer auf die Trommelfelle ansetzt. Einmal mehr liefern die düsteren Klangcollagen des Duos aus New Jersey den O.S.T für die Apokalypse. Dälek geben sich [...]

Dälek - Street Diction (Ipecac 2009) Dälek - Gutter Tactics / Ipecac Things were pretty different when we last reviewed New Jersey duo Dälek in early 2007. We were in different cities, we were under a different president, we were still open to the idea of a certain neon-imbued monstrosity that's now completely out of control (Hey there, Elektrobär ). Landscapes and soundscapes alike have shifted paradigms; it's a new world out here, and it's probably for the better. Probably. Of course, some [...]

Dopo Uochi Toki e Zu vi parlo di un altro album in arrivo che, a mio avviso, promette molto bene. Questa volta gli artisti in questione non sono italiani ma statunitensi e sono i Dälek , il duo hip hop di Newark che in passato ha suonato in tour assieme a band come gli Isis . i Dälek sono attivi da più di 10 anni e hanno già raccolto diversi pareri positivi, soprattutto grazie all' album " Absence " del 2005. Il loro sound è principalmente hip hop ma il vero punto [...]
As elated as many of us are that we elected Barack Obama our next president, dälek is here to remind us that it ain't all good. Opening with a minute-plus excerpt from a Reverend Wright sermon, Gutter Tactics (Ipecac, 2009) lets you know from [the] jump that dälek isn't caught up in the hoopla of [...]
Dälek - A Collection Of Miserable Thought lace Dälek - We Lost Sight Suprinzator, anacronic si ambiental, noul album al celor de la Dälek, are toate ingredientele sa fie unul dintre cele mai ascultate albume din 2009 si sa schimbe imaginea glam a violentei gratuite, promovata de hip-hopul actual sau rap-ul recent. La prima auditie ce m-a impresionat a fost faptul ca nu se bazeaza atat de mult pe bas ci mai mult pe experiment/noise si pe versuri care au mai mult rol [...]

Dälek is not something you put on for an immediate burst of sound, Dälek is like some sort of organic hip-hop species that attaches itself to you with weird industrial sampling and heavy, repetitious beats. The New Jersey duo have been creating their own territory within the genre of hip-hop for the past 10 years, staying true to their sound with each new release. There's some interesting discusson on staying fresh after 10 years in this interview . If you're new to Dälek (pronounced 'Die-a-leck'), start out by listening to their 2007 release, [...]
SPYLACOPA began as an obscure ambient-electronic side-project for Brooklyn-based CANDIRIA guitarist John LaMaccia, but after accruing a band of notables - namely Greg Puciato of DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, Jeff Caxide of ISIS, and Julie Christmas of MADE OUT OF BABIES - the project was bound to gain momentum. Judging by the sounds of the new [...]
So, one song my ipod keeps choosing to play of late is by Canadian lofindierockers Women . It is one of the harder tracks on their newish eponymous album. It is all beats and recorder grot. Oh, and that buried guitar line will probably get stuck in your head (in a good way), but only if you listen for it. Downloadable: "Lawncare" (box.net mp3) Jagjaguwar is here . Flemish Eye is here . eMusic page is here . ptw (RIP) 'single file' is here . [...]

dälek habe ich auf einer zeitschriftencd entdeckt. ich weiß nicht, ob mir das label ipecac , auf dem die erschienen, damals schon ein begriff war, wenn ja, wäre das sicher noch ein zusätzlicher anreiz gewesen, die cd haben zu wollen. ein sehr düsterer, bedrohlicher, maskulin klingender hiphop voller seltsamer industriegeräusche. irgendwann kaufte ich dann die cd, bis dahin hatte ich nur das eine stück rauf und runter gehört, speak volumes. ich glaube, von der cd war ich dann sehr enttäuscht, bis heute kenne ich nach wie vor nur speak volumes und das untypische antichristo: [auf [...]
