DESTRUCTO To Release “Technology” His Debut EP April 9 [News]
Los Angeles producer and DJ DESTRUCTO has cultivated an incendiary live set that merges heavy metal bombast and propulsive, potent techno. It’s unlike anything out there, and he takes it into the studio for TECHNOLOGY, his debut EP due out April 9 on Boys Noize’s emerging talent brand BNR TRAX.
The title track “Technology” is the calling card of DESTRUCTO’s globe-trotting live performances. Drawing on the groove/build/explode dynamic he developed on his national tours with Crystal Castles and Rusko, “Technology” has been in heavy rotation on Sirius XM and found its way into Boys Noize and A-Trak’s festival sets. DESTRUCTO is particularly excited to unleash the “Technology” music video, a titillating narrative film developed by director Agata Alexander, whose photography is also featured in the cover art.
Listen to “LA Funky” featuring OLIVER (as featured in the epic HOLY SHIP! mini-film) right now on holyship.com. Like its namesake Los Angeles, the track seamlessly melds the techno sounds of Detroit, Chicago, Berlin and Ibiza into one perfect, year-round dance party. On “Stand Still,” discerning fans can also sense the influence of rising stars OLIVER, who co-produced the EP. Within its propulsive groove, a harmonically processed voice dares you to “stand still.”
DESTRUCTO explains, “We wrote this one specifically to open my sets. A lot of my vibe comes from rock, funk, and even metal, but when I’m on stage as a DJ my job is get you to dance and have a good time, and the first track of the night is the one that really has to get the knees and elbows moving.”
Rounding out the record are contributions from BNR TRAX labelmates Jan Driver and BS1, who respectively take on “Technology” and “LA Funky.” Jan Driver is Boys Noize’s secret weapon, a producer and mastering engineer extraordinaire who takes the title track into gritty mental mash-up territory. BS1 provide a skilled re-work of “LA Funky.”
