]]> http://firepowerrecords.com/flatlinexannounce/feed/ 0 Firepower Records To Release Carbin “The Formula” EP http://firepowerrecords.com/carbinformulaannounce/ http://firepowerrecords.com/carbinformulaannounce/#respond Thu, 15 Feb 2018 17:00:40 +0000 http://firepowerrecords.com/?p=3576 Los Angeles (February 15^th, 2018) – Firepower Records is set to release Carbin’s The Formula EP on March 1^st, just in time for his turn supporting Datsik on his massive Ninja Nation 2018 tour as it sweeps across the U.S. There’s been a lot of attention centered on Carbin recently. He put out “GOMD” featuring Trvma on Firepower’s Flatline Compilation Volume 6 in June of last year, which woke both major Bass Artists and audiences to a new force on the block. That November, he would collaborate with AFK to produce “Boss”, which is quickly becoming one of the most iconic Riddim rollers on the planet. Carbin is at the top of his class, and he’s here to bang your head.

Starting the EP is “League” featuring Datsik, and it’s a full-on audio assault. The tune leads in with a sinister buildup and drops straight into the purifying fires a bass fueled inferno. As the track cycles through various inventive beat structures, the alternating sound designs pioneered by both Carbin and Datsik engage with each other. The experience is like listening to two phenom musicians taking turns showing audiences the range of their musical potential. The result is a tune that is always reshaping itself into bigger and bigger drops.

“Twenty-2-Life” is Carbin at his most formidable. With a euphoric topline initiating the track and a powerful sub bass rumbling guts underneath, this future classic riddim roller is designed to leave audiences in puddles. Carbin’s notorious synth stabs only feeds the frenzy, and his wall-of-sound design technique ensures a total immersion in the tune. Carbin knows exactly what he wants to do, always has, and an even more acute sense of how he wants the audience to react. “Twenty-2-Life” is study in crowd control.

Next up is “Not Your ID”, and like “Twenty-2-Life” it pumps from the bottom to the top. A heavy sub-bass undergirds the tune, carrying it along like a deep ocean swell. Carbin sustains the wave with expertly arranged synth structures and layering designs that fill the entirety of the tune. As the track crashes onto audiences on the dance floor, they’re swept away into bass bliss.

“All Night”, featuring the crown prince of bass music lyricism, Armanni Reign, slows the flow of the EP down for a sexy trap-hop hybrid. Booties will drop, and as Carbin invites us to shed our often restricted day-time personas for the creative potential of our ratchet rave avatars, we’re reminded about the importance of getting deep, down, and low.

Ending the EP is “City Lights”, and it’s a gorgeous euphoric treatment of bass-hybrid theory. Similar to “All Night”, Carbin slows the dance floor down and centers the energy of the tune on the groove centers of our consciousness. These last two tunes reveal a musical intelligence that outstretches the frame of the genres in which Carbin produces. His range is unlimited and his style is impeccable, and both characteristics will carry Carbin into the upper echelons of Bass Music’s hall of heros very soon.

The Tracklisting for The Formula is:

Carbin – “League” (feat. Datsik)
Carbin – “Twenty-2-Life”
Carbin – “Not Your ID”
Carbin – “All Night” (feat. Armanni Reign)
Carbin – “City Lights”

]]> http://firepowerrecords.com/carbinformulaannounce/feed/ 0 Datsik To Release Brand New ‘Master of Shadows’ EP http://firepowerrecords.com/masterofshadowsannounce/ http://firepowerrecords.com/masterofshadowsannounce/#comments Wed, 03 Jan 2018 17:30:11 +0000 http://firepowerrecords.com/?p=3498 Los Angeles (January 3, 2018) – Firepower Records is about to set the entire year of 2018 on fire with Datsik’s new EP, Master of Shadows, which will drop January 12^th, the same day as the first show of Datsik’s massive 55+ date Ninja Nation Tour. These next generation bass bombs are designed to shock and awe your whole reality into an entirely new plane of existence. Despite a rigorous show schedule interspersed with 18-hour workdays in the studio, Datsik has created what could be his finest piece of work to date. Datsik has an uncanny ability to identify and cultivate talent, and this EP has some of the industry’s most innovative and productive minds collaborating on what promises to be an instant classic among his collection of chart topping records.

“Pressure Plates”, the first track of the EP, is a triumphant, beautiful, and uplifting track balanced expertly with a powerful bass line and the signature wobbles that makes a Datsik tune so immediately recognizable. “Pressure Plates” is a peak hour weapon and is designed to leave crowds melted into puddles on dance floors.

There are a few producers whom Troy is observably in awe of. One of them is Virtual Riot. Last year, Virtual Riot joined Datsik’s Ninja Nation Tour and was often spotted providing free production tutorials on his laptop for any who would listen. Rumors about his ability to produce a tune on the road and then play it out that night increased the developing mythology surrounding him. So when Troy began to tease a massive collaborative project, the bass community went haywire. “Warriors of the Night” and “Freakuency” are those tunes, and they are as sinister and pulverizing as you can imagine. The tracks bring forth a few of the motifs pervasive in both the artist’s work–the Ninja and the customs surrounding this secretive warrior class and mosh pit inducing buzzsaw synth engineering. Samplings of traditional Japanese instrumentation create eerie and distant tones, but when the Riddim-inspired bass drops, it’s an all-out assault on your psychic core.

Datsik’s ability to merge the Rap and Dubstep world are the stuff of legend, and this EP reinforces that claim. Two tracks, “Bad Behavior” and “You’ve Changed” feature show-stopping Rap lyricism, and both are festival ready. For “Bad Behavior”, Datsik teams up with Ganja White Night and lyricist T Rabb, and this particularly lethal combination is a monster dead set on ripping your sanity apart. A big, bouncy bass line rolls underneath a generous sampling of Ganja White Night’s phenomenal production potential. Scorching synth stabs ignite the tune and T Rabb’s lyricism brings it to a white-hot heat. Ganja White Night has been making a steady rise through the industry, impressing promoters and talent buyers with their incredibly diligent work ethic and professionalism. No surprise Datsik brought them in for a collab.

The young Mech Hop King JPhelpz offers up his talents for “Ronin Riddim”, and the result is a satisfyingly crunchy romp through the Riddim equivalent of feudal Japan. JPhelpz has released prolifically with Firepower Records, and his skill has increased exponentially with each record. Datsik has cultivated his unique power, and it’s clear with this tune that JPhelpz is ready to be a Ronin—a masterless samurai. The tune is heavy, perfected, precise, but it’s the clever mech sound that shines through this riddim heater.

As a grand finale, Datsik harnesses the power of Excision and Dion Timmer for a collab that is specially designed for head banging. Might as well harness the potential energy of an exploding star, because this tune’s detonation will have lasting ripple effects across the dance music universe. The history Datsik and Excision share is legendary and well documented. With Dion Timmer’s fresh vision, the tune will not be stopped.

]]> http://firepowerrecords.com/masterofshadowsannounce/feed/ 2 Datsik and 1000volts to release “Monster” Remixes http://firepowerrecords.com/announcemonsterremixes/ http://firepowerrecords.com/announcemonsterremixes/#respond Wed, 06 Dec 2017 16:10:57 +0000 http://firepowerrecords.com/?p=3454 Los Angeles (December 6, 2017) – Firepower Records will release the much-anticipated remixes of Datsik and 1000volts’ chart demolisher “Monster” on December 15^th, and with bass music baddies Dubloadz and BadKlaat on remix duties, the tune gains in energy and force beyond our capabilities to control it. “Monster” was already a behemoth, soaring past the 1 million play mark on Spotify early into it’s release. It’s been featured on more then a dozen major playlists and continues to smash festival stages around the world. Both Dubloadz and BadKlaat have been tireless crusaders in the bass music world, forging paths with music where none dared to go by taking risks with their creativity that paid off. These remixes reveal the power of bass in our present moment by taking a classic tune, strapping on two massive riddim rockets to the sides, and hitting the ignite button.

It’s an honor to have the “Head Crush” creator himself, BadKlaat, remixing “Monster”. Hailing from Gloucester in the UK, BadKlaat was responsible for fashioning riddim into what we know of it today and championing it to its current point of prominence. Innovative is an understatement, and his skill comes through immediately on this remix. BadKlaat begins the tune with a throwback hip-hop beat, a kind of homage to the old school hip-hop roots of Datsik, Jayceeoh and Redman

As he feeds into the drop, we hear the classic BadKlaat rhythm lead the tune over the top of a cheeky riddim roller. The result is entirely devastating. This has set-list weapon written all over it.

Dubloadz has spent his career breaking barriers in the bass music game. He’s a fierce enemy of the status quo, and just when audiences think they have him figured out, he rearranges everything like a constantly re-forming labyrinth. If a true measure of a producer’s prowess is how they handle a remix, this remix of “Monster” shows an artist who is at the height of his creative genius. The remix takes on a life of it’s own spurred by an almost complete re-working of the original components. Dubloadz grafts his own style and aesthetic over the top, interspersing his quintessential audio oddities and beat signatures throughout. He took the track nuclear, and now this monster is a world-consuming leviathan.

Tracklist for “Monster” Remixes:

Datsik & 1000volts – “Monster”
Datsik & 1000volts – “Monster” (BadKlaat Remix)
Datsik & 1000volts – “Monster” (Dubloadz Remix)

]]> http://firepowerrecords.com/announcemonsterremixes/feed/ 0 Extra Terra Announce Alien Theory EP http://firepowerrecords.com/alientheoryannounce/ http://firepowerrecords.com/alientheoryannounce/#respond Wed, 22 Nov 2017 17:00:37 +0000 http://firepowerrecords.com/?p=3426 Los Angeles (November 22, 2017) – Firepower Records will release Extra Terra’s forthcoming Alien Theory EP on December 8th, and it’s an absolute crusher. Officially hailing from Strasbourg, France, this DJ Duo’s music sounds like it was invented somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy. The EP has more energy than a Black Hole, and once it gets you in its gravitational pull, you’ll have no choice but to surrender.

The first tune on the EP, “Illuminacity”, launches us into deep space with a heavy Dubstep heater. The G-force created by an oppressive combination of a high pressure-bass line and white-hot synth constructions slams the listener to floor. It’s a filthy tune to begin the EP, but it sets a no-bullshit tone right up front.

Next up is “Nibiru”, and there is nowhere to hide from the cataclysm this tune promises to bring. Named after the Conspiracy Theory, Nibiru is the potential world-ending event where an Extra Terrestrial mass, Planet X, crashes into Earth or comes close enough to it to cause massive disruptions. If that event had a soundtrack, “Niburu” would be it. A thick synth section scorches the top of a massive riddim roller. If true, there’d be no hope for humanity, so why no go out headbanging?

For “Good Fellas”, Extra Terra collaborated with Bawdy, and the result is an immense interstellar romp. Big and bouncy, the tune hits hyperspace early and does not stop. This is a true dance-floor destroyer and a go-to track for hyping a crowd on the verge of a Riddim feeding frenzy.

Squaring out the EP is “Prototype”. Extra Terra teamed up with Barenhvrd for this, and the combined potential energy of this track is that of a stellar bomb. A wall of sound pulses through the tune, and the rolling bassline disrupts your magnetic fields. Railriders beware; this tune may cause personal injury. Grab on tight and get ready for blast-off.

The Tracklisting for “Alien Theory” is:

Extra Terra – “Illuminacity”
Extra Terra – “Nibiru”
Extra Terra & Bawdy – “Goodfellas”
Extra Terra & Barenhvrd – “Prototype”
