When the world is too quiet, Unmute. 16PAD NOISE TERRORIST returns with his 5th full-length album, one that again refuses to conform, twisting and reshaping the contours of breakbeat, breakcore, and halfstep into something unmistakably his own. It’s an adventurous, genre-defying collection where moments of atmospheric depth stand in stark contrast to rhythmic aggression and seismic bass weight-an album that thrives on the tension between alluring fragility and the collapse of the world around it.
Among the many highlights is “The Poison Ivy Song“, a broken beat anthem for an alternate reality where intricate, melancholic grooves would top the charts. Here, it also appears in a hard-hitting remix by DJ Hidden, pushing its emotional weight even further. Meanwhile, “Pictures at an Exhibition“ takes a conceptual turn, an ambitious reflection that’s as much food for thought as it is a surprisingly laid-back piece. And then, as a grand finale, the legendary Russell Haswell takes “Illustra Ton“ and pushes it beyond its boundaries-quirky, unpredictable, and completely unrestrained-a fittingly extreme conclusion to an album that constantly challenges expectations.
Across 16 tracks, “Unmute“ is a bold artistic statement, a complex, detailed sonic language that speaks beyond the constraints of style and resonates with those who dare.
Released May 2026 on Hands Productions.
