Antony Williams, who began his DJing and producing career under the alias Headhunter, admits in his lecture at this year’s Red Bull Music Academy that he was inspired to start producing under the newer moniker Addison Groove in order to fill a perceived void as he tried to play both dubstep and juke in his high-energy DJ sets. The material he came up with to bridge the gap was an unclassifiable mix of juke influence and UK ‘bass music,’ shaking up clubs with purely crazy tunes like Footcrab, Make Um Bounce, and This is It.

After a handful of EPs, Williams will be releasing his first full album as Addison Groove through Modeselektor’s 50Weapons label at the end of March. The album, entitled Transistor Rhythm, has a US release date set for April 3rd. 50Weapons will be posting a snippet of tracks from the album every week until its release, the first of which you can hear below. Sooperlooper takes the typical Addison Groove bounce to a whole new level – not your typical rolling TR-808 fanfare, with nods to tribal and funky all around his seminal drum programming.
