As the decade draws to a close, it’s plain to see that electronic dance music has well and truly left it’s mark on the world, and proven itself internationally as an untameable beast that is not going

With slick drum production and a broody vibe we know you will just lap up.  We welcome new comers to the Empathy ranks San Francisco producers ‘Hostage’ aka Anthony Rotella and Nick Weiler.  Already well established electronic music producers individually, they teamed up in 2005 to try their hand at producing some deep, hard and high impact Nu-Skool Breaks…and very quickly Hostage was born.  It didn’t take long for them to make their mark worldwide, with tunes being snapped up left right and centre.  We are now excited to add to the growing Empathy Digital Catalogue [EMPD014] Hostage – Ghost Riding / Butt Milk’n /.  For those who haven’t already witnessed the beauty of these tracks, we encourage you to check the audio clips.  Both tracks kick some serious butt and will devastate any breaks DJ’s dance floor.

16.Oct.2009 EMPD012: White papoo vs Double_negative & Thrillabeats

deadcityBack before you can blink, Empathy has another quality release lined up for all you electronic music junkies featuring newcomers from Russia –  The Thrillabeats, who have quite literally been dropping bombs over the last couple years.

The release ‘EMPD012’ features three hard as nails breaks tracks infused with distorted bass, calculated frenzied beats, and a ridiculous number of edits.  There are no stops on this ride which is definitely not for the faint hearted.  We recommend these to be played through the bigger PA systems.

1. White Papoo vs Double_Negative – Dead City (Original)

A solid collaboration from both outfits, this track highlights the best of what both producers have to offer in 2009.  Grimey bass and tearing leads from Double_Negative, twisted into unrecognisable funk by the slick studio maestro White Papoo.  Tamed with soaring pads & melodic touches, we suggest you listen to the preview here and find out for yourself.


2.
White Papoo vs Thrillabeats – Savane

Again with the collaboration effort, this time between White Papoo and Thrillabeats this tune will literally turn your mind inside out.  The Thrillabeats bring the heaviness and White Papoo brings the twisted funk he is renowned for.  The combination is infectious and relentless and the track comes with a R18 rating for pure filth factor. Preview

3. White Papoo vs Double_Negative – Dead City (Double_Negative Remix)

Double_Negative with a solo effort here, remixing the original into quite a different monster.  Slightly taming the frenzied feel of the original, Double_Negative delivers a standout remix.  Featuring a rollout bass heavy feel, this is definitely one for the early morning crew. Preview

Available Wed 21st Oct 2009 from the following stores:
