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.

REVIEWS:

"We can always count on Low Res to bring out some quality material, and even more so when, as it is the case here, the tracks are written by this label's founder. After a much too long period of silence, Adjust comes back with a bang in the form of four pretty varied tracks (from the rather drum'n'bass oriented to the ravy Devo samples) and proves (if necessary) that this veteran of the breakcore scene can still whoop newcomers with quality production, open minded ideas and sheer experience. Hard, fast, and fresh, here's strong, quality breakcore."
