Throne Of Blood 004 - The Sound

The Rapture - “The Sound”
A1) The Sound (Ben Trucker’s Back To 95 Mix)

B1) The Sound (Max Pask Horror Show Mix)

B2) The Sound (Original)

After six months that have seen Throne of Blood and The Rapture hit the road with Daft Punk, throw some EPIC “Dafter Parties” with Ed Bangers, Gildas from Kitsune, and some old friends across the US the Canada, we’re back with a new single and some killer remixes.

After hearing “The Sound” on “Pieces Of The People We Love”, and in the mix on Dave P and JDH’s shit-hot Go Commando mix-cd, it’s finally getting a proper release for DJs as Throne of Blood’s fourth release.

On the a-side is the absolutely smashing “Back To 95″ remix by Ben Trucker from Gucci Soundsystem (Output, Bugged Out, Death From Abroad). Hot on the heels of the “Acarpenter” 12″ on DFA’s new sublabel, Ben’s back with a mental treatment that smashes together Matt Safer’s vocals, a killer nu-disco arpeggio, and some storming rave breaks. Having rocked dancefloors on CD-R for months now, we know how well this one goes over. Trust us, it’s a true party jam.

On the flip, there’s a devastating and dark mix courtesy of veteran NYC DJ and producer Max Pask, who routinely rocks dancefloors from NYC to Paris, Ghent and Berlin alongside the likes of his good friends Soulwax and Tiefschwarz. For his latest remix, he’s channeled a diverse set of influences, from dark electro to new beat and turned in a tripped-out “Horror Show” mix that drops the vocals from the original deep in the mix, washed out in echoes and reverb.

So keep an ear to the ground and eye on your local record shop. “The Sound” is in stores November 26th via Amato Distribution

Future TOB releases coming soon: Zombi “Sapphire”/”Long Mirrored Corridor” w/ Escort remix; Dances With White Girls 12″
