Ad·ver·sary

It’s that time of year

Settling in for the winter. Working on what I hope will become a new full-length release for fall 2011. A lot of remixes. A few new collaborations. Long nights under blankets of snow. Stay tuned.

We get closer, beat by beat.

Iszoloscope and I leave next week on our Tragedy (For Us) Tour! This is a big tour considering the music we make, and it’s only going to be as successful as our friends/fans/supporters make it. So please, join the facebook group, click the annoying ’share’ button, let your friends know about the tour, and help us make sure that our tour name is a joke and not a prediction.

We’re going to have downloads of the live shows available, tons of merch (including pay-what-you-want pricing for retail Ad·ver·sary CDs), iVardensphere will be with us on a bunch of the dates, and Antigen Shift is going to join us for the last three shows.

Industrial’s not dead, it just deserves to die when it becomes another stale cartoon.

The Ad·ver·sary remix disc is coming together excellently, and it’ll even be finished in time for my live set at the Kinetik Festival.

I’ve uploaded a preview track of one of the mixes: Ad·ver·sary – Waiting for Gira (Patience is a Virtue Perceived Remix by ESA)

This is going to be a great album.

CD Release

Jairus Khan — Tue, 13 May 2008 14:54:46 +0000

Bone Music is available for purchase now. From the Tympanik Audio press release:

Hailing from the Canadian electronic music underground after a decade of Techno and Industrial DJ and promotional work, Jairus Khan, aka Ad·ver·sary, now presents his debut album three years in the making. While providing North American tour support for such acts as Terrorfakt, Antigen Shift, Cyanotic, Adam X, Iszoloscope and others, his many remixes of such Industrial Noise icons as Converter and Iszoloscope have enjoyed heavy club and airplay around the world. Now, Ad·ver·sary is ready to conquer minds and destroy dancefloors with his debut album ‘Bone Music’ out May 13th on Tympanik Audio. Hard Industrial rhythms meet enormous organic soundscapes to create what Re:Gen Magazine calls “…a balance between the brutal and the beautiful.” Featuring remixes by Antigen Shift, Tonikom, and Synapscape. Mastered by Yann Faussurier of Iszoloscope. Get ready to rock.

I’m also making the entire album available for download, free of charge, with all album art and liner notes included. (If so inclined, you could even print out the art, burn the CD, and use an old jewel case to make a DIY copy of the album.)

Tracklisting:

Ancients (7:41)
Waiting For Gira (3:04)
Friends Of Father (6:40)
Bone Music (7:12)
International Dark Skies (7:06)
No Exit (5:15)

My sincere thanks to everyone for all of your support over the last three years — I hope you enjoy the music.
