dK9/daftN0!ze: "robbespierre 902 E.P."

"DK9 / Daftnoize is a project from Switzerland exploring a music that takes
its roots from the Hip Hop legacy, but with a corossive and devious
approach. Easy comparisions would be the Digital Hardcore Recordings
family, especially Atari Teanage Riots and Fever, since that distorsion
possesses a dominating presence throughout this E.P.. All the elements
that are a part of the compositions are submited to the distortive process
of DK9 / Daftnoize in a way or another. The Hip Hop beats keep their
flowing mood, the bass lines continue to groove, the vocals parts express
their revolutionary statements, the samplings play with our mind, etc, but
always evolving through distorted textures. Their is also a surprising
diversity in the work of DK9 / Daftnoize, from sensual and dirty Hip Hop,
to Break Beat, to hardcore Drum & Bass mayhem, to even Acid Big Beats that
reminds us of The Chemical Brothers on a bad day. The bottom line,
aggression doesn't have to be always painful."

daftN0!ze: "We Rock 'N' Roll"

"The duo Daftnoize composed of two young Switzerland artists, Rokker and
Haz, can be described as music hijackers because they take different styles
and with their sonic manipulations they lead them in another direction,
creating hibryd musical entities. They borrow from various genres such as
Techno, Break Beat, Hip Hop, Drum And Bass, Hardcore, etc. and with a sound
collage mentality they mix it all up to mold a driving force for their
profanities. Spontaneous, surprising, in your face, raw and choking."

daftN0!ze: "We Rock 'N' Roll" (album review)

Has and Rokker are the 2 psycotic Germans* who come together (sort of) to form Daftnoize. Upon putting this CD in, you are confronted with a harsh yet funky first track "The Wicked Shit" which opens the album with a slower, hip hop flavoured beat with weird progressive synth crashing over the top of it and it is one of the few tracks to actually feature both members. The majority is made by just Rokker, although Has also has some rather quirky solo tracks there too. However, this is possibly one of the albums strengths, in that it has led to a great variety of dance styles appearing while somehow still flowing together as an album. This album has everything from instrumental hip hop (The Soul Of G-zoos) to hard-as-fuck breakcore (Out There) to the hardest of hardhouse (Digital Force 600) and the just plain weird (the brilliant pisstake that is "Music Is My Enemy"). Yet all of this seems to retain a continuous Daftnoize "sound", if it could be called that. There are a lot of rave influences here, with many of the synth lines sounding as if they would fit happily on The Prodigy's "Experience" album, which is ironically an album that gets blamed for making rave too pop, something which nobody could really accuse Daftnoize of doing. So if you like electronic music you can dance to and are want an excuse to listen to a hardhouse song, buy this album.
