As 2010 draws to a close, Low Res Records makes one last shot at the buzzer
with a veritable milestone of mayhem--the 23rd enigma in the shape of a new
and long overdue DJ Adjust record. "Release The Sharks" is four tracks of
abusive speaker therapy constructed in the spirit of recreational
headbanging most would call haptic technology for heshers. Possessing the
demonstrative power of potential that pokes at the ear pupils, the new
Adjust record is a leaning tower of rhythmic inconsequentials that cast a
dark shadow over the deliberate composition of controlled chaos. From the
opening track "Eveready/9-Lives," with its nod to Frances Tipton Hunter and
his black cat, to the track "Deux," which draws subtle influence from early
Fischkopf releases, "Release the Sharks" is a study in pure acceleration,
taking cues from industrial appliance rhythms that swell into monstrous
episodes of hi-fidelity gate crashing. Distorted electronic kick drums
translate into rarified air violence and simultaneously unleash the Kraken
bass blasts. Varying tempos of grindfunk sonically spread over four tracks
of fortified ass-kicking, resulting in a true modern Midwest exercise in
reticent aggression. This is popular music for the future prolific and
stratopunk pioneers of tomorrow, delivered today.
