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. " /
