Knife Party Dubstep, Electro & House Intro
Knife Party, the new dubstep / drumstep is in face a side-project from the well known DnB artists Pendulum. Pendulum who coincidently faced huge critisism for the drum and bass faternity over their over-used loops (Hold Your Colour*) and then went massively commercial with a rock-edge seems to have completely gone off! Knife Party Dubstep lovers will be pleased to hear that their success has taken over Youtube! With more than eleven videos uploaded onto youtube within the last week, they seem to be gathering many fans extremely quickly!
Knife Party Dubstep, Electro and House are the flavours of the day and whilst its not strictly dubstep that they are producing, there are some crazy remixes out there!
UKF Bass Culture recently featured Knife Party as one of their headline acts and they answered all their critics by giving a sweat-inducing performance with huge, dirty and extremely heavy drops accross.
Knife Party offers another conduit for the parts of Pendulums sound that began to creep out on their last record “Immersion”.
Evolving from straight up drum and bass to chart topping hits and some ‘dubsteppier’ tracks, they seem to have decided that they need another compartment to channel these new sounds into. Knife Party is that experiment.
Drum and bass has been left behind for refined and commercial dance music, with some darker moments that make the Skrillex collaboration on track “Zoology” unsurprising.
While currently there is no album to speak of, some high profile remixes (Swedish House Mafia, Nero), support slots for similar names and some original tracks leaking through the radio waves are sure to cement them as a live favourite.

I didnt realise Knife Party were Pendulum!
Saw this post on another blog and thought it was also relevant, enjoy:
Present day music is inspired by yesterday’s music, and you will be inspiring tomorrow’s. Exactly what even if you created yesterdays music? Im writing about artists whom by means of a profound alternation in musical output, but only following mastering web templates. They really don’t simply educate yourself on the reputation for a couple genre. The masai have a carnal knowledge as well as experience with it which they use to improve a platform and release something new as well as exciting. Several of my favorite the majority successful artists – Steve Aoki, The Bloody Beetroots, MSTRKRFT – all have dirty, rebellious, punk-rock affects which seep through their own music. So its at moments that offer genuine, you must give yourself the best step and also say, WHERES THE BLOODY KNIFE PARTY?
Knife Party generally to Pendulum just what MSTRKRFT might be DFA1979. Its a side project by Rob Swire and fellow pendulmate Gareth McGrillen that can take the raw energy of that DnB/rock roots, and sends it via an evil electronic disco machine. Have you ever visited the a Pendulum concert, you understand its one of the most insane mosh pits of the life. Now turn down the drum as well as get there the bass, grind out some huge electro, dubstep and moombahcore tunes, but you ve got yourselves a higher level of shit-losing dance music.
Is to be had done some huge remixes come early july for a particular loves of Nero, SHM, and not to mention new guy: Porter Robinson. Jointly with some neck breaking original production, ear piercings collaborated with electro dubmaster Skrillex for just a wobbly moombahton single Zoology. Its clear to me they’ve got been bottling up all other excess electo that couldnt carry it into Pendulums albums because its all coming out in the furious assault in the party area.
