With an onslaught of remixes for their latest single and collaboration with Rage Against The Machine guitarist, Tom Morello, Knife Party has once again outdone themselves with “Battle Sirens”. While many of these takes on the popular tune showcase angles from all corners of electronic music, one that truly stands out amongst the rest is the remix from Los Angeles locals, RIOT.
While the original piece takes influence from common dance music phrasings such as descending basslines or synths, high end percussive leads, and trapped out beats, RIOT expands on these ideas in more of a drumstep-esque style, utilizing smashing lazer effects with heavy bass shots to create an all more heavy vibe from the original work. Having already gained support from Knife Party on their remix, you can bet you’ll be hearing this remix plenty in upcoming sets!
