Far Too Loud - Firestorm EP Remixes (Funkatech Records)

What a wild few months it’s been for Far Too Loud. ‘Firestorm’ lived up to its name in every way since its July release. With heat from Diplo, Sub Focus, Pendulum, Dillon Francis, Bare Noize, Culture Shock and a whole heap more, the EP smacked a number one shaped hole in Beatport’s overall chart!

Could a remix EP possibly beat that type of success? Damn right it can; you’ve just got to pick the right remixers. Like Funkatech have, right here: each player has delivered class A cargo. Inspired by the tools Far Too Loud’s creativity has left them, SKiSM, Peo De Pitte, Specimen A and Karetus have stepped up to deliver a package that runs the gamut of everything that’s great about bass music right now.

First up, Peo De Pitte’s rub of ‘Firestorm’; a bashy bombardment of whistling peaks and stinking lows. Kicking and screaming like a Fake Blood record after a six month course of steroids. By the time you hit the build-up you can even taste a dash of techno.

Specimen A follows and ignites without delay. Rising sirens wail, giving hint to a murderous drop that’s teased by the sudden entrance of shivering synths. One sonic boom later and we’re swaggering to the most uncompromising stabs and angular grooves like we were born to such a chaotic soundtrack.

The final ‘Firestorm’ reversion comes from Karetus. Fresh from his ‘Loudness War’ EP, he’s added the scream factor with a ghost train riff that growls and grizzles across the frequencies with suspense and drumstep drama.

Last but never, ever least comes SKiSM with a rub of ‘600 Years’. In true SKiSM style, expect the unexpected; what begins as a pensive, slo-mo drumstep stomp-off swiftly switches to a gut-busting D&B shock out with amens, fat sweaty guitar chugs and all the trimmings.

With no shade or style of bass left uncovered, the whole remix EP was curated with the same spirit the genre-flexing Far Too Loud made the original in. A more than fitting follow up to Funkatech’s biggest record of the year, we’re sure you agree!

Far Too Loud - Firestorm (Specimen A Remix) [Funkatech Records]

Far Too Loud is all about hi-tech, dancefloor-destroying music that makes people throw their hands in the air and go crazy. Think high-energy, aggressive funk with big basslines and crazy edits and you’ll know the sound. 

Formed by Oli Cash and Dom Smart back in 2005, their sound quickly won fans and only two years later picked up 'Best Single' at the Breakspoll Awards.  Later that year the FTL anthem 'Play It Loud', which saw a move from breakbeat to dirty electro-house, received a massive response and remains a crowd-pleaser to this day. 2009 saw the duo split with Dom forming techno moniker Neurodriver and Oli continuing with FTL, producing a string of electro chart-smashers including 'Bring Back Boogie' and 'Megaloud'.

The bass-fueled releases of 2012’s ‘Firestorm’ EP and the follow-up 'Faster Than Light' EP received high praise from all over the bass music scene, bursting with the now familiar big production and energy. Cementing FTL’s place in the bass music scene, these paved the way for more recent releases on heavyweight labels including OWSLA, Never Say Die, Disciple, and Monstercat, and remixes for bass-lords Zomboy, Snails and Pegboard Nerds.

Well experienced in delivering unique sets packed with energy, whether it’s 200 people in a sweaty underground club or 20,000 at an outdoor festival, you can be sure it’s going to go off when FTL is in control!
