Review: Always positioned gleefully on the edge of any discernible music scene, Russell Haswell has never been shy of confrontation in the sound he disseminates. That he now rubs shoulders with darlings such as Powell and the like is merely happenstance - he will continue doing his thing unabated. So it is on this malevolent but surprisingly danceable single track for Editions Mego, which places a simple disco beat at the back of the mix and leaves the rest of the space free for an especially nasty distorted synth line to squeal and wail its way through eleven minutes of pure rave energy. Hearing this over a big system may well prove to be a life affirming or spirit crushing experience.

Review: The Downwards label precede the intriguing release of a new album from multi disciplinarian Russell Haswell with this remix release brandishing wildly different reinterpretations of the Coventry based musician's work from William Bennett, Kevin Drumm and label boss Regis. Haswell and Downwards seem like a good fit given the former's long career of boundary pushing music across labels as varied as Editions Mego, Warp Records and Carlos Giffoni's No Fun Productions, while the latter have remained uncompromising in the direction of their release schedule. It's a rare occasion when you can identify a Regis remix as the most accessible contribution to a release, but that's certainly the case here, with the Downwards chief delivering a twitching, loopy techno workout of "Chua Rave," while Whitehouse founding member William Bennett - another former collaborator of Haswell's - has remixed "Harshing" which is quite aptly described by Downwards as a "stereo head f*cking, brain floss session". This is surpassed in the "skin crawling brutal sonics" stakes by the minute remix of the same track from the Chicago-based experimental musician Kevin Drumm.

Review: When it comes to boundary testing noise excursions, Russell Haswell is your man, and here he delivers an edit with a suitably obtuse title to accompany the mammoth 73-minute run through all manner of challenging tones, scrapes and squiggles. Pain Jerk takes a similar if slightly less lengthy approach with a more playful if equally jarring set of sounds pasted together in willfully disorientating formations. It's certainly not for the faint hearted, but there's a whole lot of manic audio to get utterly lost in if your mind is open to the challenging noise within.

Review: Editions Mego's latest amalgamation of organised noise comes from none other than Russell Haswell, a man whose been globetrotting the world of leftfield labels - from Downwards to Warp, his unique style of detached arrangements and organic sounds is becoming less obscure with each release albeit his dark and moody aesthetic. The apocalyptic "Black Metal" kicks off the LP and we're immersed in a war zone of crackling oscillations and detonating sonics, forming a thick layer of menacing drones. The first sight of a regular kick drum comes on "Killer Snakehead", a frenzied workout of white noise, stripped-naked beats and flickering synth stabs; but his mastery of the noise elements comes on "Record Shop Day", where Haswell creates only a fuzzy and frenetic distortion of a techno track, no beats or recognisable sounds, just the bare outline of what techno would sound like played through a distorted set of speakers. Brilliant.
