21.Oct.2010 EMPD018 Part 2: Opiuo – Monkey Crunk Remixes

Empathy Recordings is proud to announce the second in our series of Opiuo remix releases. Part 2 features some of New Zealand’s finest breakbeat talent in the form of Sick Cycle & K-Lab. This time round we’ve also invited Canadian/American all star combo Ill. Gates & Samples to come along for the ride.

The highly influential paring of Ill. Gates & Samples has been much anticipated amongst the glitch and electro community. Now we give you the chance to judge for yourselves just how huge their sound is. Their unique electro hip hop influenced brand of glitch is quite simply wall to wall bass.

Sick Cycle are fast becoming one of dubstep’s rising stars. Their dark as pitch brand of noise has singled them out as something to special amongst a sea of “mother would like” dub and dubstep acts to have emerged over the last few years. Their take on Opiuo’s sound is destined to lead to speaker damage and hefty insurance claims.

Combine dirty Basslines with 80s hip hop breaks and a sprinkle of electro freshness and you get a sound which is undeniably K-Lab and undeniably banging! Opiuo’s remix of K-Lab’s ‘Wrecked’ tune was one of our most  downloaded glitch hop tracks of 2009, now K-Lab is returning the favour with what we think is one of the dirtier remixes we’ve ever released.
