Your EDM Premiere: The Upbeats – Doom [Vision Recordings]

Our favorite New Zealand drum and bass duo has returned with a sinister vengeance only comprehensible through audible demonstration. With a hot list of time-slowing tunes as part of their De-Evolution series, the boys are finally ready to unleash their arsenal of productions to the public eye (and ear). After their ridiculously successful past album becoming an international DJ and crowd favorite, the general public is anxious and ready for whatever the team has locked and loaded for us next. The aforementioned series aims to lift off from Noisia‘s label Vision in installments from April 22nd until the end of 2016. Ooooof! With the first volume consisting of four original tracks and a collaboration with Ivy Lab, what better way could we enter our summer festival seasons, than with some brand new material from The Upbeats.

Characterized justifiably by its ominous namesake, the coinciding tune follows suit. Kicking off with a vibe so dark and malicious, the listeners are immediately forewarned of the utter “Doom” we all were in store for. With a buildup so threatening, and a rise so direly-ascended, the listening community has no choice but to forcefully shatter any preconception of how the drop will unfold onto it’s victimized fan base. Need I say more? In fact, I’ll just let you see for yourself.

The team is currently in preparation for a massive European, New Zealand and Australia tour. Don’t miss out on a chance to catch these guys wreck shop. Trust me, I’ve seen it myself. This is something you DON’T want to sleep on.
