Eat Concrete Presents:
AARDVARCK - CHOICE (EAT-CD-018 / EAT-DIG-018)
(Album release featuring The Gaslamp Killer, Alexandra de Ex-buurvrouw, Eugene, Loti a.o.)
Finally it's here: Aardvarck delivers his second full length album for Eat Concrete, titled 'Choice'. It offers 22 tracks and is a definite classic. After the previously released vinyl sampler we received massive support, including Radiohead's Thom Yorke putting it on his favourites list. Although the vinyl has quickly run out of stock we have a limited run of cd's available, but be quick!
'Choice' is available on CD and digital formats (mp3 / wav / flac).

Release notes:
"Into his 25th year as a DJ, Aardvarck comes with his second full length album for Eat Concrete Records. With 'Choice', Aardvarck has created one of his finest selections to date. It offers as much as 22 tracks, going in all directions Aardvarck has become known for such as bass-heavy dub, lush soundscapes, broken beats and soul vocals.
The album is introduced by the Gaslamp Killer, kicks of with the beautiful 'Lucky Shot' featuring female vocals by Alexandra and continues with some cinematic and hypnotising ambient-like pieces before the bass kicks in with 'Breaking Bad'. From then onward we are treated with songs reminiscent of some of the recent 'Bloom' releases, displaying a taste for heavy bass, beats and dub samples. Yet 'Choice' has more to offer than dj-food alone; the album flows like a mix and keeps a light and fresh vibe along the way with lots of sketches and interludes. Aardvarck also offers some definite classics with 'Heal' and 'Find the Cow..Almost', featuring guest vocals on both tracks. Timeless. "
Press:
"..trippy as hell and possessing of a rare delicacy." / FACT MAGAZINE
"Aardvarck gives the finely structured beats of 'Choice' on a killer 22-track album for Eat Concrete. Within its grooves he dismantles house, hiphop, jazz and electronic boogie soul with a strong cinematic feel, making for a superb listen. " / BOOMKAT
"Brilliantly chaotic and highly recommended!" / ZERO" - Editor's Pick
"..kan zich meten met het beste van collega
beatmakers als Dimlite, Mike Slott of Illum Sphere." / DJ BROADCAST
"Toch is het weer vintage Aardvarck, raar maar goed." / OOR MAGAZINE
"Thom Yorke fan van Aardvarck" / VPRO's 3voor12
