| A hypnotic blend of up-to-date electronica with genre crossing as its manifest. In its wide-spectral electronic mix Abuse combines ambient with soundwalls of breakbeat and hip-hop beats, hi-tech courses with lo-fi pop, bizzare movie-like atmospheres with extraterrestrial folklore. The master Vlado Durajka, known as Abuse from the EPs 4th Floor Thinking (2001, Kurare Records) and Sleepfields (2002, Deadred Records) as well from remixes for Mimetic, Ecstasy of St. Theresa, Veneer, Khoiba, Nierika and many others. His highly acclaimed first album "The Great Outdoors" was released in 2004 again on Deadred Records. Abuse is now a four-piece band with electronics, drums, bass and turntablist/scratches visually supported with VJ Clad. In past three years they successfully performed in United Kingdom, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovenia, Austria and Hungary even played several shows in USA including one at well known SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. |
