Knife Party live at Ultra Music Festival 2013

Of all the EDM producers that are around right now ‘Knife Party’ are in my opinion the most exciting in terms of their production and DJ sets. The group comprises two members of the band ‘Pendulum’ – Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen and their output which so far has comprised remixes, production credits, some unreleased tracks and two EPs has very quickly gained them a huge following.

Their upcoming E.P. has now officially been named as the ‘Haunted House E.P.’ and is slated for release mid April. Anticipation for its release has been massive across the EDM scene both by DJs & dance fans alike due to sneak previews of the new tracks appearing in their various sets over the last few months.  I got my hands on early copy of the track ‘Power Glove’ and exclusively aired it in Ireland on Spin South West F.M. and also on my show ‘The Temple’ on XLR-Radio, its also now a staple track in all my DJ sets.

‘Knife Party’ recently played at the ‘Ultra Music Festival’ in Miami and many have commented online that their set stole the show.  No doubt, its a rocking set and the lads are not afraid to include a bunch of their remixes and tracks in their one hour set, so if you are a fan you are in for a treat as over on their official YouTube channel knifepartyinc they have just posted up the set now in full HD.

Enjoy !

Crookers ‘Livin’ In America’ (mix for your lowriders)

I pretty much love everything Crookers do, they were a duo of top notch DJs / Producers / Remixers and I was lucky enough to catch them live in Dublin back in 2010.  Now that one member (Bot) has left the other (Phra) will be continuing the Crookers as a solo project. In his own description he says “I do beats, I post beats, I play beats and I drink beers” – well you can’t argue with that right !?

The Crookers Soundcloud page always has good stuff, everything from remixes, to productions and DJ mixes along with materials for producers to download and use.

Recently Crookers posted this full on 1 hour mix of Electro, Glitchy beats and other goodness in the mix, turn it up loud !

Knife Party Mixmag Mix – ‘Clever Title Like Deadmau5 Would Use’ Mix

When it comes to producers Knife Party, The Australian duo who form part of Pendulum really blew me away this year. So much so in fact that I’ve named ‘Internet Friends’ as my dance track of 2012..its epic and never get tired of hearing it.  Check out anything by these guys, its all awesome electro / dubstep goodness.  Their Soundcloud page is a great place to listen to them, they are also on Spotify with all their productions on there.  They have a new EP on the way for early 2013 and frankly I cannot wait to hear it.  Meanwhile if you want a good idea of how they sound a bunch of their own tracks and other club bangers are contained on this mix they did for the November ‘2012 edition of Mixmag magazine.

Turn it up loud and enjoy, maybe warn your neighbors / flatmates in advance… this is what I’m talkin’ about 😉
