Aphex Twin Addison Groove - Transistor Rhythm

Addison Groove (aka Antony Williams) started life under a different pseudonym altogether. Recording as Headhunter, with an LP and 12” releases on the influential Tempa label stretching back to 2007, he achieved legendary status within the dubstep scene. His work at the deeper end of the spectrum graced the label an impressive 7 times, a figure matched only by Skream. This work looked set to continue until 2010 when, seemingly out of nowhere, he crafted one of the biggest bass music tracks of the decade, ‘Footcrab’, under the new name of Addison Groove.

The response to ‘Footcrab’ was phenomenal, receiving critical and commercial success in equal measure across the dance music scene. Getting plays not only from the dubstep DJs that Williams was used to reaching, it also found its way into the record boxes of techno and house heavyweights such as Aphex Twin, Surgeon, Ricardo Villalobos and Mr Scruff, bringing an enormous new audience to his music in the process. Taking influences from the Chicago ghetto tek and juke scenes, Addison Groove’s impact on UK bass music has been colossal and unprecedented, sparking a huge interest in these styles from his peers and the listening public alike.

"Transistor Rhythm", Addison Groove's debut album, is a rare example of a release where the description "much anticipated" is not just a fantasy of some PR agent. The expectations are high, but we are convinced nobody is gonna be disappointed. Hear for yourself!

can't wait.

Spank Rock is the WORST

is this album any good?

I haven't listened to it enough yet but so far I am somewhat… disappoint. I was expecting this to be MASSIVE and INCREDIBLE

Well, Addison Groove certainly delivers with this LP, but somehow I also hoped for more. When "Footcrab" and his first tunes under his Addison Groove moniker came out, they were somehow extraordinary and somewhat experimental, but the new LP is way more solid and conservative. There are a lot of bangers on there, but I miss this special breaking-ground feeling.

I would agree with that. I had very high hopes that this would be a brain-destroying album of insane dance rage. Instead it's .. formulaic? Not exactly, but conservative is the right word. I think I like his track on Tectonic Plates Vol. 3 more than anything on this album. Need to listen more though.

I was disappointed that it didn't sound more like his singles.
