TSSnº3 by Swarm Intelligence

Swarm Intelligence has built up a name for habitually reducing darkened Berlin basements to ruins. Blending ambient, rhythmic noise and industrial sounds with half-step technoid rhythms and pounding 4/4 grooves, he has captured the attention of techno and noise fiends alike.

From bass-heavy electro right through to fast, distorted breaks, Swarm Intelligence has honed his sound over releases on Invisible Agent, Stasis, Acroplane, Acre and most recently Ad Noiseam, where he just released his latest album, ëFactioní.

"Swarm Intelligence's first album for Ad Noiseam is the densest and most interesting piece of beat-driven industrial music that has been sent our way in the recent times. Drawing from a past in IDM and techno as well as his involvement in Berlin's current new noise scene, Swarm Intelligence marries here some of the heaviest basses around with an uncompromising level of distortion and astute beats. Heavy, enthralling, modern, dark: an impressive new step by a musician to watch (and listen to) very closely." - Nicolas Chevreux, Ad Noiseam

"Faction - massive, bleak, repressive and enslaving. Modern noise-dub-industrial record for aesthetes and dark rhythms of slaves." 8/10 - Machinst Music

"Engineered to annihilate, Faction is one of the most notable and groundbreaking rhythmic noise works produced in the last few years, and a glowing testament to the sub-genre's evolution in a more destructive direction." 8.5/10 - Brutal Resonance
