Next to the American Diabetes Association and the American Dental Association (that’s quite confusing, isn’t it?), Ada also is one of my favourite producers slash DJs. She first came to the fore in 2004 AD, when her track Blindhouse was featured on Areal’s Bis Neuhnzehn comp and from that day on she’s been one of the label’s key artists next to Metope and Basteroid. In the meantime Cologne-based Ada has amongst others delivered the grating Our love never dies (which was lauded on Grandmaster Alkan’s Bugged Out mix cd), her dashing debut album Blondie and a few EPs on her new label Cereal killers. What makes Ada’s sound so compelling is the mélange of beauty and beast. On the one hand she crafts moving melodies and on the other hand she makes use of raw beats and noisy effects. Ada’s new release is a continuation of this recipe, but with even better ingredients. If you ask me, the Fizmann EP on Areal is the best Ada two-tracker yet.
