Noisia to launch new album “Split the Atom”

Noisia has announced that they will be launching their new album “Split the Atom” (which is out on the April 5th) at London’s Fabric on the 9th Apil. They’ll be taking over room 2 and will be supported by Phace, Rockwell, and Andy C.

As for the album, it’s MASSIVE! It opens with their recent release  “Machine Gun”, moves on to an awesome drum n bass track (“My World”) which is reminscent of a Roni Size track and goes from strength to strenght from there. Full of deep beats, grungy tweaks and dark basslines this album did not disappoint. There’s a really tasty collaboration with Foreign Beggars too. Overall the album is a mix of techno/electro tracks and drum n bass, actually typically Noisia sounding :)

And if a new album and launch party is not enough, they also premiered their Essential Mix for Radio One (click the link for the tracklisting); they’ve launched an online video game

Wow, they’ve been busy, cus that’s not all, they’ve relaunched their website and set up an online store.

But that’s enough of that – buy the album it is just awesome, probably one of the best albums I’ve had the pleasure of listening to this year!

Released 19th October 2009 on Dented Records

My introduction to Foreign Beggars was the excellent “Hit That Gash” (Vs Rouge A Levres) in various electro and dubstep compilations. Then came their single “Contact” featuring D&B producers Noisia and so I had high hopes for this third album.

And I wasn’t disappointed, although this wasn’t quite the album I was expecting – it’s much more hip hop than the aforementioned tracks, but the album possesses the kind of production you’d expect from Dr Dre and in places there’s a Public Enemy flavour.

In fact it is hard to recognise that these boys are from the UK – there’s a real west coast US feel to the album. The beats are hypnotic, the rap sublime all mixed together with samples and female vocals making this an essential hip hop album.

And if you perhaps want the remixes rather than raw Beggars then rumours are there’s a remix album coming out too.

Release date: 5th October 2009 on Dented Records

I love “Gash” by Foreign Beggars and I’m a big fan of Noisia, so to receive a promo of a Foreign Beggars tune produced by Noisia was just too much. And the track doesn’t disappoint.

Featuring two tracks there’s a clear Noisia influence in both tracks, with Noisia’s twisted basslines and beats, and to top that there’s a very tasty drum and bass mix. And these dark beats go well with the Beggar’s rap – this has to be the best hip hop tunage I’ve heard in a while.

Can’t wait for their debut album “United Colours of Beggatron”. Bring it on!
