Dizkodeath “Raw” LP

Nov 052014

When talking about great new releases it would be a sin not to spend some time talking about Dizkodeath‘s debut album “Raw”. Out on Jet Set Trash, “Raw” is definitely a long awaited and anticipated LP and it was worth the wait by all means! The German artist had been already leaving very good impressions and therefore had our support on this blog since the very early days and his “Fear” Free EP (which was a Metalectro Exclusive Free EP) but he has certainly grown a lot since then in every way an artist should. Since then he has evolved his style into a hard Electro – Indie Dance kind of mix, influenced heavily by Justice and the hard French Electro scene with a Punk Rock edge and attitude and a Disco groove (see “Over” feat. Dana Jean Phoenix). His 4 lead singles “Revolver”, “Wizard”, “Vendetta” and “Orchid” released over the last 12 months with some big remixes definitely attracted quite a bit of attention on the up & coming and super talented artist and he in his turn didn’t fail to deliver and keep impressing with his LP. “Raw” includes 8 new and previously unheard original tracks and really there is not one boring second throughout the whole album. Definitely an LP that packs a lot of inspiration, as well as raw power and style, especially in an era that the Electronic music world is plagued by a soulless cookie cutter ‘sample library’ mentality that leaves a little to no room for creativity. Dizkodeath just doesn’t care to follow any of that mentality and that’s another plus for the artist to be added on top of the already huge “Raw” LP. Simply put, all fans of hard electronic music should listen to this album!

For those of you keeping an eye on our YouTube channel you will probably know of (and if not you should) the Designer Drugs latest release, which is no other than the Remixes LP for “The Drugs Are In Control”. The Remixes LP was released on Sex Cult in 2 parts, part one being a remix EP featuring 9 remixes of the track by the likes of F.O.O.L, Robopunx, Kyro, Q.G., LeathRface, Rob De Large, DJ Antention and more. The 2nd part, came a week ago and as if the hard Electro (and not only) parade of names on part 1 wasn’t enough, Mustard Pimp, Tom Deluxx, Corvad and more artists came to be added among the already impressive line up of remixers. Definitely lots of good remixes to be checked out of the 15 altogether features on both parts with some of course being more to our liking than the rest. So, here’s our selection of “drugs” and we strongly suggest you try them all out!

ROTD: Dizkodeath – Wizard (Q.G. Remix)

Jan 072014

Here comes the “remix of the day” and one that had snatched the title for a while now. Greatness is the 1st word that comes to mind when pressing play on this remix Q.G. did on Dizkodeath‘s “Wizard” and i press the play button way too often on it. The powerful trashy Q.G. bass matched perfectly Dizkodeath‘s groovy disco feel, delivering a combination of styles and a remix that stands out and shines. Q.G. couldn’t have done a better job finding the perfect balance of elements from the original to keep and trademark Q.G. ones to add. The decisions turned out great and the result magic as the Frenchman managed to add his personal touch and feel while maintaining that of the original too. Credit should definitely go to Dizkodeath as well though for the original and great base material given to the remixers to work with. None of this maters as much as the final result though, which is an amazing remix and EP, so check them both out!

New Release: Dizkodeath “Wizard” EP

Going on with my personal highlight of recent releases and the latest EP by Dizkodeath named “Wizard“, out since Monday on Jet Set Trash! Compared to the 1st tracks by the young German i blogged here not that long ago it´s really damn remarkable through what a huge development he went sound-wise, without losing touch to the roots anytime but sticking to the good stuff and delivering each track (almost) better than the last, also this release. An outstanding EP imo and the original as well as the remixes by Q.G. and Soul Machine turned out extremely mind-blowing, so get into the groove right now and be taken away by its lovely melodies and amazing flow – crank it up, hit play and check all tracks out!!!
