EVILUTION
FEATURING JONATHAN
DAVIS
OUT NOW
One of the hottest
names in dubstep today, Canada’s own DATSIK has teamed up with Last
Gang Records to release his debut artist album on April 10, 2012 in Canada (released through Dim Mak Records internationally). Titled VITAMIN D, it will feature his
freshest instrumentals and collaborations with the likes of Jonathan Davis of KORN, Infected Mushroom and Z-Trip.
Following the release of the album, DATSIK
will appear at Coachella in Southern California and will perform at the
Elements Music Festival in Edmonton, AB in April.
Evilution is the second single
from VITAMIN D. It
was built from another Jonathan Davis
collaboration (DATSIK has several production credits on KORN’s latest album, The Path of Totality), this
time with Israeli psy-trance duo
Infected Mushroom. Collaborating after a chance meeting backstage at New York’s massive Electric Zoo
festival last summer, the pair brought their wildly disparate sounds together as one. “Blending dubstep with psy-trance and
Jonathan Davis sounds kind of insane,” DATSIK says, “but the track came out
great and I’m stoked on it.”
Hailing from Kelowna, Canada, DATSIK (Troy Beetles) has been
taking the dubstep scene by storm, blowing up dance floors around the globe
with his original style of hip-hop, future-tech bangers. In 2009 alone, DATSIK had over seven #1 releases on Beatport and vinyl sales went through the roof on many other sites such as Chemical Records,
Red-Eye and Juno. Aside from that, he has also
done remixes for some of the biggest names in the scene such as The Crystal Method, Freestylers, Bassnectar, Noisia,
Diplo, Wu-Tang Clan and Apex,
not to mention countless collaborations with some of the hottest producers in
the scene. In 2011, DATSIK was one of the featured
artists on the inaugural IDentity Tour, the first-ever touring electronic-ONLY music festival that
visited major outdoor amphitheatres throughout North America, and supported KORN on their Path Of Totality tour as well as produced selections
on their hard rock-and-dubstep-fusing The
Path Of Totality album. In addition, he was also one of the headlining
dubstep acts at this year’s Stereosonic
festival in Australia.
With multiple anthems under his belt, countless
plays from some of the biggest DJs and an endless perseverance to reach that
next step, it’s safe to say that DATSIK
has proven himself to be one of the best dubstep artists around…and he is
here to stay.
