KnowFake drops ‘NOFAKESHITSZN’ EP. @nofakeshitszn
With the self-written, self-produced, self-mixed and self-mastered EP ‘NOFAKESHITSZN’ KnowFake brings his unique aggressive style to the forefront. With distorted instrumentation, raw sounds and a heavy hitting delivery KnowFake explodes on the scene. ‘GETBREAD’ kick-starts the project with an augmented Dancehall sample that is distorted into an amalgamation of Trap, Industrial Rock and even a fragmentation of Jersey Club. In just under a minute the signature sound is felt and KnowFake immediately differentiates himself from all peers. ‘NOREASON’ follows with an amazing instrumental that stretches the bounds of acceptable sounds into a range of thumps and clicks that play as a future dystopian industrial robotic rendition of modern Rock. With braggadocio bars KnowFake’s rebellious persona is felt throughout each track. ‘BAGSNATCHER’ boarders between Punk and Drum And Bass and boasts his most straight forward flow and lyrics. The experimental production reaches a pinnacle on the finale ‘B4IMETU’, booming percussion, reverberating kicks, augmented electric guitar solos and stuttering snare drum rolls that play like an AI’s adaptation of a marching band all merge together as proof of KnowFake’s genius. With a sung delivery dealing with the topic of love concluding the EP KnowFake further stretches his genre-bending range. All together ‘NOFAKESHITSZN’ is a unique offering that is truly personal and a much needed honest representation of an Artist’s inner tastes.

The new EP ‘Connection’ by @DressCode is truly electrifying.
The self described ‘funky rocktronic Dance music’ sound of Dress Code is a humble understatement. On his latest EP ‘Connection’ a myriad of massive influences converge into a Space-Age musical medley. The title track which opens up the EP is a cross between an action packed video game’s soundtrack and an alien interpolating Prince’s 80’s catalog. The thumping percussion on ‘Dangerous’ keeps the mood going while ambient synths ebb and flow in the distance all before an electrifying guitar solo pierces through the background into the foreground and then off of the canvas. Each track is a futuristic party anthem, an amalgamation of Funk, House, Industrial Rock, Electronic Dance and more. The tracks sway in and out in a seamless party mix that blends beautifully. ‘Systematic’ concludes the project with a synth melody and riff that is so powerful it will rock any setting simply by itself. The heavy drum pattern, blazing guitar solo, and augmented effects chime in for sheer celebration at the victory of Dress Code crafting an iconic closer that emits nothing but raw energy.
