Dälek - Endangered Philosophies
Review by Gianni CJ Valentino
Dälek's latest album, Endangered Philosophies, is a thought-provoking and intense work of art. The group's signature blend of hip-hop, noise, and experimental sounds is on full display, creating a sonic landscape that is both challenging and rewarding.
The album's themes are weighty and urgent, tackling issues such as police brutality, social injustice, and the erosion of civil liberties. Dälek's lyrics are poetic and incisive, drawing on a range of cultural references to create a powerful critique of contemporary society.
Musically, Endangered Philosophies is a tour de force. The album's beats are complex and propulsive, with jagged synths and abrasive noise textures adding to the sense of unease and urgency. The group's use of live instrumentation, including guitar and bass, adds a human touch to the otherwise otherworldly soundscapes.

About Dälek
Dälek (pronounced dialec) is hip hop outfit from Newark, New Jersey, founded in 1998. (a.k.a. ) was responsible for lyrics, (a.k.a. The ) was the producer.
(a.k.a. ) used to handle turntables, but left Dälek in summer 2005.
For a band so steeped in noise and bombast, Dälek ended quietly, going on hiatus in 2011 without even an official statement. Brooks stresses that there was no beef between he and Momin, just a project that had run its course. Momin moved to Berlin and focused on electronic projects, while Brooks made slightly more traditional rap as iconAclass. Performing classic Dälek tracks live gave Brooks the urge to revive Dälek, and with Oktos blessing he assembled a new lineup in the spring of 2015 with co-producer () and .

Далек далеко.
so THIS is where Death Grips got their sound?
Just bought a copy of "Absence" for $1.99 gently used, absolute no brainer for one heck of a good album. This one sounds great too, but I don't know how many used copies I'll be seeing around. Might have to bite the bullet and get it new.
Seven dumb asses thumb down. Get real. This is the new shit
Haaaaaa im just hear the gutter tactics album ! Ive see this band with isis and jesu in Paris on...2004 ? xD
millenium kaos!!
Saw Dalek in Belfast, Absence tour about 2004 or 5. Only about 30 people in club but they shook it to rubble anyway. Spoke to him for an hour after, bought him a double Bombay Sapphire, straight no ice, talking about all manner of shit, one cool motherfucker. And this tune is the tits.
this is not rap this is a big shit
