Tsunami-Addiction & TEAMS présentent Let’s Kiss and Make Up

30 novembre 2009 10:10

TEAMS collabore avec le label Tsunami-Addiction pour lancer la compilation Let’s Kiss & Make Up.

Once upon a time, some toxic girls wanted to show their anger and affection.
As a result, it was just chaotic.
Several years later, some boyz, wanted to show their mellow side, they called it revenge, but it was just a smooth touch of weird mews.
So now it’s time for reconciliation! So boyz and girls, girls and girls, boys and boys,please give us a breath of peace.

Let’s kiss and make up is the third part of a series of compilations, following Toxic Girls! and Boyz Revenge!.

2 CDs which were really hot, as XLR8R (USA) or Les Inrocks (FR) mentioned it.

XLR8R: « it’s a kick ass sampler of
international musical curiosities: some of them fall into the shrinking gap
between rock and dance, others are of the ambient/ abstract/glitch ilk, and
others are novel, genre-less gems… »

Les Inrocks: « Boyz Revenge! une compilation mélodique, irrévérencieuse, troublante, infiniment touchante. »

Now it’s time for reconciliation!

Like the two first issues, everything began with a cool idea of Reiko Underwater from T-A, and a call entry launched a few months ago to friends and on Internet, in order to invite artists from everywhere to submit their tracks.

Milkymee, dDamage, Mochipet, Shannon Funchess, Hypo & EDH, Davide Balula, Kumisolo, O.Lamm, ii, La Chatte, She Keeps Bees & Sharon Van Etten, Tim Fite & Danielle Stech Homsy, Zoé Wolf & Damien Mingus, Khan-Linh & Mehdi, Tha Pumpsta, Look Look! (Dancing Boys), Lemonade & Glasser, Legends, Depth Affect, Trotskids on the Block, Holy Shit, Raoul Sinier & Sylvie Fretet, Kids of the Ranch, Shady Ladies join the project.

TEAMS rend disponible les premiers albums de dDamage

10 octobre 2009 8:32

TEAMS s’est occupé de mettre en vente digitale les 3 premiers albums de dDamage, pratiquement introuvables dans les bacs depuis quelques années déjà.

Les fans de dDamage qui ont pu découvrir le duo enragé de la scène électronique parisienne en concert ou grâce à leur dernières productions (The Truth & 100% Hate sur Tigerbeat6, Aeroplanes sur Ascetic Music, Shimmy Shimmy Blade sur T-A, Radio Ape sur Planet-mu), peuvent désormais se procurer leur premiers albums – agrémentés de bonus tracks – sur toutes les plateformes de téléchargement, et à très bon prix.


dDamage – Reverbreak This Beat Down (dDigital Version)
Released Date: 1997 (2008 re-issue) – TEAMS / Idol Distribution

« Reverbreak This Beat Down ». A title related to breakbeats and reverb effects. Two elements that are the core of this album, made of ambiant and tortured sounds. This cd was released in 1998. It was part of an artistic workshop exhibition, that was organized in Paris by Tsunami-Addiction. At that time, dDamage didn’t want to release this project in a regular way, but only in a regular time. Furthermore, the band’s musical approach has really changed since this first album.


dDamage – Harsh reality of daily life (dDigital Version)
Released Date: 2001 (2008 re-issue) – TEAMS / Idol Distribution

The second album of the Parisian electronic duo dDamage, Harsh Reality of Daily Life is simply terrific. It is a creative and complex album: They have samples of machines, sound manipulations, greasy guitars, hip-hop beats, and tortured vocals. Their tunes are mostly calm and groovy, but the sounds they use are aggressive, and, as Phonem, they have this interesting process to create peaceful melodies out of noisy samples.
They create a renewed interest in industrial music; they really sound like a collaboration between Neurosis and Sister Machine Gun, intermingling chaotic harsh things and groovy beats.


dDamage & Kowatabo – The Missing Link
Released Date: 2002 (2008 re-issue) – TEAMS / Idol Distribution

(On The Missing Link, French breakbeat noise duo dDamage joins forces with the smiliar sound specialist Kowatabo, in a work that represents the best of seven years worth of music between the three sound terrorists that is brooding in atmosphere, funky in its rhythms and rich in textures. The Missing Link is a musical meal best served with bass boosted and the volume on your speakers turned to max.

Support dDamage by buying their album on iTunes or Beatport amongst other:
