UK recording artist IDC bucks trend for 'brickwall' mastering re-issues

Press Release  - Fighting the Loudness War

The Loudness War is the term for the trend for music that has been ultra-compressed and limited in the mastering stage, resulting in a sound that can literally strain your ears and give you fatigue.

This process has dominated most releases for almost a decade, especially in dance music but also in reissues and remasters of older catalogues across the spectrum. It is a result of changing behaviour with more people listening through headphones and small speakers and the need for a release to literally be 'louder' than everyone else's.

Never scared to start a new trend, UK recording artist IDC has overseen the remastering of his second album 'The Sun is Always Shining Above The Clouds' for a 'de-loudness' re-release. It is out on April 21st in a deluxe format with a second CD of extended versions and 12 inch mixes.

The release is catalogue number CR100 as successful UK independent label Corsair Records also celebrates 100 releases.

Remastered to bring out the stunning full range of orchestral elements and future-proof dancefloor power, this new version of IDC's second album bucks the trend for 'Loudness War' brickwall limiting.
