NEW RELEASE: Knife Party – ‘Haunted House’ EP (OUT NOW)

artworks-000047330820-l5wpop-t500x500Okay, take every pre-conceived notion you have of Knife Party and throw them out the window. It is time for a re-vamped Knife Party and they are expressing their new sounds through their latest and greatest Haunted House EP available now on all major outlets. The four track EP features tunes that show a new side to the Knife Party project. Featuring sounds that remind us of how much we love to dance, Knife Party has taken a journey through the electro-house side of dance music. The first three tunes of the EP are a roller coaster of bass, 4×4 breaks, and insanely technical synth progressions. The final track, a variation in production of their hit tune “Internet Friends” reminds us of how much damage Knife Party can influence on a sold-out sweaty crowd. When Knife Party comes on the speakers, it’s time to get down!

NEW RELEASE: Paper Diamond – ‘Paragon’ EP (FREE Download)

artworks-000046223520-kqvmok-t500x500It’s been a long time in the making and finally it is here. Last week, Paper Diamond unleashed his fine-tuned and well-polished Paragon EP. From the second you push play on this bad boy, it is hard to deny the epicness that this Paragon generates. Packaged as a ten-track free digital download, Paper Diamond builds on his already supremely technical beats by expanding his arsenal of sounds and style.

Featuring a plethora of banging bass, rolling snares, robotic synths, and futuristic samples, Paper Diamond leaves us astonished, dragging our ears across the spectrum of genres, building up and crashing down energies at just the right point. This EP will go down as one of our favorites. Paper Diamond called upon Cherub, Buku, Jay Fresh, Protohype, and others to play supporting roles on Paragon. This whole collection of tunes makes for one hell of a dance party. Hey Paper Diamond, the future called and they want their beats back!!! Make sure you grab your free download and give this a good listen from start to finish. Thank us later.

NEW TUNE: K Theory & Chrome Wolves – “Stutter” (FREE Download)

artworks-000045625915-zsupdk-t500x500 (1)
Teaming up for a colossal collaboration, K Theory & Chrome Wolves have dropped a hot one on us. The resulting tune, “Stutter” takes us on an adventure through a tightly fused combination of bass, electro, and trap, all while encompassing the original Joe & Mystikal effect to the T. This new tune is eloquent as can be. The intensity of the tune makes it perfect for any high-energy environment. We could picture this tune bumping at an And1 Bball tourney while we could also see this one blasting in the bedroom. Either way, we are very impressed with the collaboration and we hope to hear more from K Theory and Chrome Wolves. Check out the tune and grab your FREE download!

NEW RELEASE: Major Lazer – ‘Lazer Strikes Back’ Volumes 1-3 (FREE Download) [Pre-Order 'Free The Universe']

MajorLazParty starters Major Lazer has a new album coming out on April 16th entitled Free The Universe. Expected to be one of the largest electronic releases of the past few years (behind the upcoming Random Access Memories of course), Free The Universe has been highly anticipated from fans, critics, and fellow artists alike. Originally set and planned to be released by now, Diplo and team Major Lazer want to be sure that ‘FTU’ is perfected and marketed to the T. We expect to hear sounds old and new on the upcoming album as well as features from other large names in music.

Due to the delay(s), Major Lazer has decided to release a series of 3 mini EPs dubbed the Lazer Strikes Back series (Volume 1-3). Remixing Major Lazer originals “Jah No Partial” with Flux Pavilion, “Get Free“, and “Original Don“, the compilations showcases edits from artists like Flosstradamus, Baauer, Avicii, Jack Beats, Yellow Claw, and many others; plus Major Lazer remixes of Hot Chip’s “Look At Where We Are” and No Doubt’s “Settle Down”. The collection is available for FREE download and is just what we need to build the excitement for Free The Universe.  You can download the series from Major Lazer’s Soundcloud and you can pre-order Free The Universe NOW on iTunes.

Major Lazer released the following statement in regards to the album delay and the Laser Strikes Back series:

“The upcoming album, “FREE THE UNIVERSE,” has been been kidnapped by General Rubbish and we all must embark on an epic journey to upset his evil plan so we can free the universe as planned with the album.

Our fans are the most important part of what makes Major Lazer what it is. It is with that consideration that “FREE THE UNIVERSE” will not be released this month as previously scheduled. We never want to disappoint our supporters but circumstances out of our control have made us unable to keep the intended date. For anyone disappointed, we are truly apologetic and we promise that this hiccup has only made what we have planned for the album stronger. We tried extremely hard to keep the date but it was ultimately decided that rushing the album would have been unfair to you and everyone who worked so hard on it. An iTunes exclusive pre-order in the US will launch next Tuesday, 2/26 which will feature an instant grat download of “Watch Out for This (Bumaye).”
