Black and White - Loadstar's new release is far from monochrome
Friday 16th November 2012 | Jenny
Already heading towards half a million views on Youtube's UKF Dubstep channel, Bristol boys Loadstar are about to let loose 'Black and White', gearing up for their debut album release on Ram Records.
Fans of the pair will know to expect nothing less than fresh and unique sounds that will always take down a dancefloor; and this track is delivers precisely that. Featuring the vocal talents of talented UK rap artist Benny Banks (currently signed to 679), it is just minimal enough sounding without losing the euphoric elements of powerhouse chords and an infectious beat.
The EP (both on digital and vinyl format) come with an exclusive range of varied remixes. From dubstep legend Breakage - deep and heavy - to Tinker Hatifield's blistering trap music vibes, each version adds something to an already superbly mastered track. Rack N Ruin's house tinged vibes are a real highlight for me, a dead cert to get a great reaction when dropped in a set.
Hamilton lends his label pals a cheeky reworking of the tune aswell, delivering a stomping, floor-shaking killer that will delight drum and bass fans across the globe. An instrumental version and new work 'Vatican Roulette' complete this essential purchase; the latter is murky, electrifying and shows the duo's unique diversity in production.
Officially out on 10th December, head over to Ram Records to pre order your copy - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/black-white-feat.-benny-banks/id574824180
I predict this will be one of 2013's freshest sounds...
