The production itself is second to none - most of why I feel there is so much wasted potential to this record. The entire album is a joke, from self aware cue samples to creating a track revolving around a sample saying ‘you have a micropenis’ to their tounge-in-cheek rendition of electronic music’s latest bandwagon, its almost as if they don’t want themselves taken seriously. After 3 EP’s that became the new unattainable standard for production, the pair has released their first proper album on Big Beat Records - and it is so heartbreakingly disappointing. Growing over the last couple of years (since their release of their first EP, 100% No Modern Talking in 2011) into one of the biggest acts of electronic music, attributed greatly to the duo’s unmatched skills in production. Knife Party is a two-man electrohouse group founded in the midst of Pendulum’s breakup by former members Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen, and they are popular. There has been a TON of great music being released lately, not the least of which is the first official LP of Knife Party, Abandon Ship. Catch us on our show and I will be spinning songs from a few of each of these artists at least. I’ve been getting into more trap-style music recently, hence the artist selection. This definitely isn’t all of them, but it’s a start! I am most excited for Brillz & Snails, Minnesota with G Jones, and R.L.
