DPR004 The Omega Men - Girls Noize/Electric Kool Aid - OUT NOW by Death Proof Recordings

1. The Omega Men - Girls Noize EP

Remixes:
Captain Magic
Johan Soh
zAm-X

Press Release

Now sat on a great ensemble of productions found on Death Proof Recordings and Lot49, and taking plaudits from the likes of Meat Katie, Marco Bailey, The Dolphins, Jesse Voorn, The Micronauts and countless more, The Omega Men deliver their first EP proper, a double header of epic 4/4 proportions 'Girls Noize' & 'Electric Kool Aid'.

'Girls Noize' kicks off the EP in style, the guys typically thunderous & manic drumline sits amongst some of the finest synth work we’ve heard in a long time. Swaying emotive melodies drop and flow through breakdowns and builds whils 'Electric Kool Aid' then ventures into the darker enclaves of The Omega Men’s lair, another well-structured percussive element gets disjointed by thunderous claps and snares, smacking you up the face as it takes hold. And out come the sirens, like wailing banshees they scream at you rising to a raucous & overwhelming breakdown.

But it doesn’t stop there, as you know we like to pull out all the stops on the remix package and this one is up there with the best yet.

Captain Magic (Lot49, Benefit), better known as Vandal’s deviant 4/4 alter-ego, takes on ‘Electric Kool Aid’ for an Electro/Techno pounder.

Johan Soh (Sound Of Habib, Underwater) plies his extensive knowledge to ‘Girls Noize’ which results in a melodic broken tech masterpiece.

zAm'X (Expressillon, Minimalminuts) may be new to some ears, but this Frenchman is getting us extremely excited at Death Proof towers: his remix takes ‘Girls Noize’ to a whole different orgasmic level! He’s made a Tech House track that will damage any dance floor it should be set upon, keeping a frenetic energy throughout!

1. Machine Electrique - La Machine

Remixes:
Anthony James
Kick Oh!
Charlie Kane
The Omega Men

Press Release

With our first two releases still doing damage to many a dancefloor, Hunter Vaughan's 'Krakken' and Frankie Ferrell's 'Get Down', Death Proof Recordings take great pleasure in introducing you to our 3rd release of our new venture. Machine Electrique's 'La Machine'.

After the success of their 1st collaborations, a remix of Portishead's 'Glory Box' and their EP on Circuit Freq Records last year. The gaelic duo go dark and broody yet resoundingly powerful on this latest effort. With a reminiscence of early rave, 'La Machine' is an electro-enduced, techno behemoth, reverberant hats and rasping synths take centre stage, layered over a heaving bassline that will no doubt own a funktion 1 system and any dancefloor that it surrounds. Constantly building and pushing it encompasses what these guys really know how to do, nail a breakdown!

Bringing up the back with the remix package is some stalwarts of the underground scene and the who's who of the new blood.
The now long-time established Kick Oh's (Southern Fried, Jack Knife) simple yet effective approach takes a more punchy electro-house tangent, with a superbly structured drumline and great use of the originals enigmatic synths, it bounces around like a raver on a pogo-stick! Anthony James' (Pole Position, Baroque, Blaubeat) crisp production skills shine through on his effort. Not just using what he was given in the remix package, he's splashed on his own subtle vocals and drawn up his own sultry synths to accompany it, making for a truly amazing tech-house production. Charlie Kane (Audiotrix, Bleach Feast) goes beyond his years on this one (he's only 16 years old!), this extremely well-educated youngblood has taken all that is good from breaks, electro & techno to make a throbbing, broken, onslaught of a remix, making us at Death Proof reminisce heavily and then slamming us forward again. And last but by no means least, label mates The Omega Men (Lot 49) execute yet another synonymous big room track, detuned wailing synths and pads sit feverishly over a riotous drum line, building and swaying into a track that would make any ardent techno fan doff his cap in respect.

Feedback

With recent support from esteemed names like Claude VonStroke, Dylan Rhymes, Ben & Lex, Robosapiens, Zam-X, Frogs In Socks, Acid Jacks and many more, here's some select kind words...

"Brilliant hoover-raving dancefloor destroyer. Nice! The original is the best but the Omega Men Remix charges things up well enough to also be worthy of a mention." iDJ Magazine
"The two international producers, Benjamin Vial and Dominic 'Zuul' Mayer have teamed to form this new act. To give you an idea of the sound, they’ve already gained support from the likes of Meat Katie, Dopamine, Far Too Loud, and Aquasky.
