UPDATE:
Last minute EP change: we don’t usually release VIP’s, but this time we’re exchanging “Baghdad” for Internet Friends VIP.

Thoughts? Are you excited that their will finally be an official release of the VIP instead of rips found on the internet?
Earlier this week the track listing for Knife Party‘s new EP titled ” Haunted House ” was tweeted by the Knife Party Twitter officially announcing that it would be a 4 track EP. Today, the preview for 4th track “EDM Death Machine” went up on Soundcloud, and you can listen to it down below.
The track listing is as follows:
Haunted House EP tracklist:
1) Power Glove

The twitter account also promises more clips in the coming future, so make sure to keep an eye out for an update to this article when that happens!
All previews (including Baghdad) in a row:
these all suck.
The internet really appreciates your opinion.
took 4 seconds listen to it all 🙁
HORRY SHET.
Pretty disappointing, Knife Party definitely took a step in the wrong direction on this one, definitely turned off their dubbier fans which makes up a large portion of their fan base.

Appreciates it like a cheese grater to the bollocks
holy shit, this is horrible.
thats because dubstep blows
Your fucking mental… They haven’t had a decent tune since internet friends and you start slagging off intelligent dance music??? also Dubbier??? There isn’t a hint of dub in any knife party song… there good at what they do and that is balls out hard dance music
You are a retard. This is in no way dub step… dub step is fkn shit anyway! EDM Death machine sounds like it is going to be banging!!
lol gey
Any true fan realizes that dubstep was not the way it is 19 years ago. Evolution of dubstep AND all EDM has occurred. If you can’t appreciate that then you really are nothing more than a follower.
Craig know you’re genre’s!!! Knife Party is hard core electro house -_-
John Kern fine sir your free to your opinion but i wouldn’t say it blows it’s just starting get old like most genre’s they will always have there day.
there’s always gunna be someone looking to do the next big thing, it’s just the evolution of edm music my friend 😉
Power glove is best. It’s more like their original style, the others are good but not Knife Party good.
It’s more Rob Swire-ish.
Man, fuck all you guys, I don’t even really listen to EDM that much anymore, but I can still recognize a hot track when I hear one. And before you give me the “Oh, you’re a casual fan argument” I’ll let you know I’ve been following these guys since they released Vault. And I’m not a blind fan either, for I thought Immersion was pretty mediocre. I’m a very picky person when it comes to my music.
That tune Power Glove is fucking epic, it’s danceable and unique in it’s orchestra delivery. Okay, I admit LRAD isn’t my cup of tea, but the teaser we got for EDM Death Machine is on point. These guys are REAL musicians and it comes out rhythmically in their music. Usually if an EDM tune is playing I get bored of it quite quickly if it isn’t on a mix, these guys are able to keep a tune fresh and have me listen for the whole life span of the song. Again, this is my opinion, but I really despise it when people harshly criticize an undeniably good work of art when they themselves probably can’t do any better.
Who cares if it isn’t “Dubby” musicians have to evolve or their sound gets stagnant and they become irrelevant.
this is beautiful. tarik ur my hero <3
this guy. this guy here. he understands music.
People don’t understand that evolution and style switches are needed. If anyone disagree’s then they are just sheep. Well said my friend, well said.
Telling it like it is, LIKE A BOSS ladies and gentleman i present to you Tarik Tannir
Like borgore said in his interview with dubstep.net he was just labeled a dubstep artist in his earlier years in the music industry, but now he is starting to explore genre’s like House, and trap which will all have there day, there’s always gunna be that hardcore dubtsep fan or DnB fan, but there’s also always gunna be someone looking to hear the next best thing 😉
Still think it’s a good idea to leave Pendulum, Rob?
Feel like I am the only one who liked all these tracks.
your not alone
Power Glove – Orchestral Electro (if there can be such a thing) – 5/10 – wouldn’t really listen to again.
LRAD – Minimal Electro Trap – 7/10 – Alright, nice beat to it. the song is EMPTY though.
Baghdad – Electro House – 6/10 – Mediocre. heard it before.
EDM Death Machine -?/10 – Sounds like it’ll be alright. but nothing special.
if you want an artist to get stuck with one genre forever.. your artist will only have a 1 hit wonder and will never progress.
I like power glove overall, then again.. you can always “not purchase” it and let them make their music (:
FUCK YOU ALL THIS EP IS GREAT!
What are you talking about all of you, knife party has always been a dubstep electro crossover, centipede, bonfire, the remix of crush on you, those are all 70 bpm broken beat not 128 bpm electro, you all just proved you don’t know shit about beat structures or the music in general.
Yeahhhh buddy
i love it
ever thought they maybe want to appeal to maybe a bit more progressive house fans. LRAD is a huge club banger. knife party’s doing it right.
POWER GLOVE = Awesome! Don’t know how anyone could hate it.
LRAD = Good tune but definitely not the path Knife Party should be taking.
INTERNET FRIENDS VIP = Better than the Original. Love the 2nd drop!
EDM DEATH MACHINE = Sounds cool, something different.
Terrible idea to replace Baghdad with Internet Friends VIP. We’ve all heard Internet Friends millions of times. Yes its a different version but 8 years of sharing songs with my friends and general public I’ve realised a higher percentage of people don’t like “different versions”. BAGHDAD SHOULD STAY!
Lrad sounds very similar to epic….
“And I’m not a blind fan either, for I thought Immersion was pretty mediocre.”
“I really despise it when people harshly criticize an undeniably good work of art when they themselves probably can’t do any better.”
What? Immersion was disliked by many people because it wasn’t strict DnB/Jungle style which is exactly what was great about it. Pendulum stepped away from the traditional sound and started to move more towards their own unique sound. Many people might not like it in comparison to other Pendulum albums, but I find if you look at it by itself it’s got quite a lot going for it.
power glove was amazing and the other 2 were fine just cant wait to hear death machine.
Power Glove sounds the fucking same as Internet Friends lol, in a different key with slightly different chords.
How the fuck do you kids lap this shit up on a daily basis?
Made by douches, for douches.
You forgot to mention that your a huge tool.
Trap…? Where the heck does trap factor into that tune?
Check the other tunes. They sound nothing like any of KP’s earlier work.

Im sorry, all i could hear was EDM. lmao
Yeah everybody keeps saying that Power Glove is the best but its easily the most bland on this whole EP
I loved all of them. All of them are perfect. Knife Party = #1.
Damn straight! glove is gonna be a scene melter!
The first track here, it’s a banger.
The first track here, it’s a banger.
I just hope they are giving some dnb tunes they never released on free download. Beeing a fan of then since I heard tarantula for the first time.
I’M SO EXCITED MY FACE JUST SHAT.
I have been wanting to get powerglove into my sets since I heard it at HARD DotD. That being said, I don’t really think there was any need to get rid of a new track in lieu of a VIP. Personally, I think DJs having their own edits and bootlegs is something they should keep close. Once they are tired of them or want to retire them, give them out like others do (Kaskade). If your fans are going to buy your music, give them some value. Hopefully they do something where if you buy the EP, they give you the Baghdad song later as a free download. Either way, Knife Party are definitely on the forefront as far as putting out tasty pew pew jams. I just hope they diversify their sets a little more (saw them at Ultra and Coachella, practically the same set). Still though, fuckin’ Powerglove.
haha @[1098844037:2048:David Brown] I see you
Reminded me of trap
rip baghdad 🙁
Knife Party should always be classified as Electro House first…
don’t you just love these trash talkers
When they were originally previewing LRAD way back in January during an anonfm set they listed it as “every edm song lol”
You guys have no clue what your talking about
The version of Power Glove posted here is a setrip from when they first started playing the track at their live shows. Search “Knife Party UMF 2013 Weekend 2” on YouTube to hear the version they’ll actually release on the EP.
Centipede you twat
I like all of these tracks honestly, EDM Death Machine is the kind of aggresive electro that Knfie Party has always been making so I don’t see how people are saying that they changed…
Knife party was created as a Project, They’re obviously not going to stay in One genre just because you like it.
I’m glad they have variety.
When they first started the Knife Party project I was so blown away by their sounds.
I myself am a sound designer/producer so I spent days figuring out how they got the sounds they did.
I had gained masses of respect for KP’s previous music to the point where they became my idols.
I wouldn’t blame them if they are worn out from touring but I would have preferred they took a long break and came back to blow my mind once again rather than this.
What they have done here is not unique… they’ve done it all before but with way superior technique.
I am all for style switches and “evolution” as long as they manage to put the same amount of time into polishing the tracks.
Powerglove is the best preview but it even manages to lack the fantastic breaks KP previously created.
They didn’t take a step forward they took a step back. House is not an advance in music or more difficult to make than their previous music which was far more intricate and amazingly well produced. Their music was unique, they managed to create something that was blatantly known as Knife Party’s sound only to now ruin it with something that sounds generic.
By the way… KP is not dub and never has been. What the hell are some of you people on?
You guys are pretty much the reason people like me loose motivation to continue making music. Why even bother if people cannot even tell when someone is putting their all into their music and half the people will classify it as some genre it doesn’t even use a single technique from.
This is coming from someone who near religiously listens to and dissects music to learn from.
Fuck you people of the interwebs whose minds have come to accept mediocrity. You’re why we have people like Katy Perry living in billion dollar homes… fuck you…
Alguien que hable español…
Sick ass EP, learn to appreciate the work they put into these tracks, hell yea I’d rather hear fire hive influenced tracks but I’m not knife party they are, they’re still amazing producers, the sound is huge.
I need some MDMA someones house and some fucking amazing speakers right now!
you my friend are dumb as fuck sure it sounds a bit like internet friends but dude u got a dj kahled profile pic u clearly don’t know good music
Before you go spinning of in every kind of direction, remember this: These are previews, teasers and edited downloads. Knife Party did this with their last EP as well, and I remember the final product being different from the previews. Don´t go all pointing fingers until you´ve heard the final product guys. With that being said, my humble opinion is that the EP-preview sounds excellent!
Better than staying with them
Great music knife party on top of their game now a days making all types of awesome party and edm style music and idk if any of have seen them live but they have awesome mixing skills and but on some of the best live shows ever and I’m not even one for edm I’m more of an dnb guy but knife party made a great ep here….only one thing they need to stop with 4 song eps and just make a full ablum they will make more money that way 🙂 Cheers.
yeah…this is all fire. Whatever makes the kids go off out there.
LRAD is so much better than Power Glove. PG is too generic.
