We're switching things up a little bit today with something a little more on the Electro House side. My taste in music is about as varied it is for food and I eat just about everything. I like tunas from raw and rugged Drum & Bass to soulful vocal House, and from Pink Floyd, to Type O Negative to Simon and Garfunkel and everything in-between. Although, you can keep your country music ;) Anyway, my point is I try to keep things interesting here on the blog and today we've got something with a bit of Dirty Loud flavor to it. I'm sure the majority of you lot out there remember the strangely popular one hit wonder from Ramstein "Du Hast". Trying to find another song like that in pop music is not going to be an easy task but this one managed to have its day and as a teen at the time, I was singing "You hate me" myself for sure! So when I saw the name "Ramstein" as I was digging through Soundcloud, I had to stop and check it out. Thankfully I was pleasantly surprised as the Bombs Away boys from Australia have done a fine job taking a menacing tune and turning it into something fun, banging and club worthy. Consisting of three Aussies, each of the guys has a musical background that brings a unique element to their shows. Thomas Hart was the kid that never shut up, a B Boy from the age of 13 under the alias Orpheous earned him the crown of many beat boxing, MC championships before moving on to production and rocking Beatport's Top100 as Thomas Hart. Sketch's influence comes from playing guitar (badly) in a plethora of (crappy) Rock & Punk bands then moving on to DJing hoping he could actually be good at something, taking out #53 Nationally in the ITM DJ POLL along with BEST ELECTRO DJ in the PD Music Awards. Jackness, the token Asian guy, studied classical music with years of violin training (but still can’t play it). As fate would have it, the three have come together and are putting forth some phat and chunky crowd pleasers. Check out their remix of Mike Posner's "Cooler Than Me" for a vocal wobbler. Today though we're talking about "Du Hast" which starts off with housey hats and a filtered Kick. Sixteen in and the business drops getting things moving. Twisted Tetris-esque synths stab in and out before revealing the tracks true intentions. Zippy leads and grooving bass come back but only for a moment only to dip right back out for another quick breakdown and then it's all goodness from there with little crunched up rock guitar licks keeping it spicy. You can't help but move to this one.
