Xmas Eve

Swedish House Mafia

It's been a bit quiet here at Litany for most of December, save a few large album-like releases from Knife Party and Skrillex, so we figured for the holiday, you need a few new tunes.

Mord Fustang has been quiet recently too it seems, but his funky laid back style is back in new song "We Are Now Connected".

Cazette's strangely named remix of David Guetta's "Titanium" is sickk.

More Knife Party...only this one's mashed up with SHM's track as well.  It goes by Antidote.  It has a really raunchy and brutal video out (someone managed to not be taken off Youtube), thats fairly entertaining.  Techno, Strip Clubs and Violence mesh pretty well.

Bangarang EP


Skrillex just dropped a new EP just in time for xmas.  Many of the songs are just official or reworked versions of past releases, but they are all pretty stellar.  He posted the following on his twitter:

"happy holidays just like I promised.... just like i always say, go pirate it if you don't have money..i just want you to have it... or you can buy it here..either way I'll love you http://www.beatport.com/release/bangarang-ep/851105
 -skrillex"

The EP is huge.  No lesser words to describe it.  Here's a run down track by track:
1. Right In has been his opening song for most festivals over the summer, and a song he's been trying to keep pretty under wraps.

2. Bangarang, the title track of the album, is quite tried and true Skrillex, some light Sirah vocals, in-your-face-talking-bass and what not.  Only difference is, its a Moombah beat.  The two styles blend pretty flawlessly for a bumpin' track.

3. The third track, Breakin' A Sweat, is the collab track for the Regeneration project, he did with the doors.  Many of you have probably heard it, though this version features some tweaks, a spoken verse in the middle breakdown.  The doors vocal samples are kind of cheesy, but other than that, its a solid track.

4. Bangarang EP also includes his Electro-House banger collab with Wolfgang: Devil's Den.  It dispels some of the hate against Sonny going around that he only does same sounding dub.  Well he also does hard hitting electro.  Chaotic, and awesome.

5. The 5th track is a huge collab between Kill The Noise, whose recent LP is sick, and 12th Planet, a bud of Sonny's and great DJ on his own right.  The track's called Right On Time.

6. Another reworked and finalized track, Kyoto ft. Sirah (weeknds anyone?), is a "dubstep" track, with a strange 117bpm, and many of you will recognize it as the original "Ruffneck Bass" before More Monsters and Sprites EP came out.

7.  The final track leaked in an early edit form which many called "Breathe", and featured some added vocals by Krewella.  The real version is called Summit, and features the soothing vocals of Ellie Goulding (lights anyone?).

On a whole, its easy to see Skrillex has matured a bit on this EP, and put out a more versatile, appealing sound than the ultra-heavy dub rut he was stuck in for a while there.

And Skrilly said it himself, he doesn't care if you pirate it, so no excuses, go get it.

100% No Modern Talking


Knife Party, Rob Swire (of Pendulum)'s side project goes pretty hard.  A new EP of theirs is available for free from their website: http://www.knifeparty.com/.  It's got the full version of Internet Friends, as well as full versions of Fire Hive (best song off the EP in my opinion) and Tourniquet.  The only track I hadn't heard of at all is "Destroy Them With Lazers".  None really disappoint...

DO IT LIVE!

So I'm sitting here, thinking back on a deadmau5 show I went to about a month ago, and it occured to me, I didn't know where the sample he mashed up and morphed into Some Chords. Sounded familiar, but just couldn't place it. Well a quick youtube search turned it, and some new found respect for Joel Zimmerman up. A Bill O'Reilly sample? Its genius, Bill is such a twat, and this clip is hilarious.
