Evil Nine – The Power EP
Evil Nine - The Power EP
Release Date: 22nd June '09 - Marine Parade
We've left it to the Evils to describe it in their distinctive style!
The Power - "it's powerful! it's like running amok with a chainsaw at an '80s night."
The Heat - "it's hot! you got a warehouse to check out under cover of night? you want to make a clean getaway from a bank job in your red ferrari testarossa? then this is what you want on your stereo."
The Night - "it's nighty! it's dusk, you got your linen suit on, sleeves rolled up, your motor is running and you just want to ride!"
Freeland - Do You
Freeland - 'Do You' (Marine Parade)
'Do You' offers the unexpected, switching uptempo bangers for an 89 BPM groover that eludes any club-genre pigeonholing, and proves a mid-tempo can still set dance floors aflame. It has an irresistibly massive, Moog synth hook, quickly mangled with choppy glitch edits and thundering kicks and snares that split the difference between Bonham and Run-DMC.
'Do You' is out now with remixes from Joker / Moonbootica / PANTyRAiD / High Rankin.
Sync News -
'Gimme What You Got' by Black Daniel has been picked up to feature in the next West Coast Cooler TV ad which will be shown throughout Ireland.
