Mat Zo and Kill The Noise Present: Kill The Zo

Well eat my foot and call me Sally!

Honestly, we never thought these next three words would ever be uttered in sequence, let alone be actualized into a serious collaboration between two of our favorite, yet, in their own regard, entirely different EDM producers.

Kill

The

Zo

That’s right. You heard us correctly.

In what may be one of the strangest electronic dance music alliances we have ever seen, Matan Zohar, aka Mat Zo and Jake Stanczak of Kill The Noise have officially joined forces and dropped their premier release as a single entity. Appropriately titled “Part 1,” this next five minute, enigmatic composition is soon to be the talk of the electronic dance music community (and not solely because of who produced it).

How do we know this?

Tossing aside the obvious notion that these two producers’ prior endeavors and resulting fame will greatly aid in the success of this menagerie of strange bedfellows, it’s the track’s jaw-dropping uniqueness that speaks the loudest toward its merit. There’s simply no point in classifying it. Just open your ears to the future.

Now, we’re not saying this is what every EDM musician will be on after they hear it, but, you bet your ass we will be hearing a bevy of follow-up releases from these two.

Taking you around the world in a freshly constructed, incredibly complex, multi-cultural, electronic dance music flying machine, we warmly welcome to the scene, Kill The Zo.

The Top 5 LP’s of This (1/3) Year

We’re four months into the year 2014, and with each new week comes an onslaught of new releases from across the electronic music spectrum. While choosing the top five EP’s may have been more of a rigorous process, the short list for the top LP’s came together quite nicely. Without further ado, we present to you our Top 5 LP’s of 2014 so far.  
 
 
5. The Glitch Mob – Love Death Immortality [Glass Air Records]
The wait was well worth it. The epic album lives up to the name.
4. WeAreCastor – Bon Voyage [SectionZ]
Shoutout to SectionZ for sharing such an evolutionary and all encompassing album.
3. Skrillex – Recess [OWSLA]
Do you even Skrillex, bro?
2. Haywyre – Two Fold Part 1 [Monstercat]
Haywyre no longer goes unheard, and support for his latest LP goes unsaid.
1. Savoy – Self Predator [Self-Released]
Savoy’s first LP reigns supreme. Pure gold through and through.

The Top 5 EPs of This (1/3) Year

These are never easy. Besides dealing with the inevitable bickering that occurs between the Rager crew members, I get a lot of shit from my sixty year old mother actually. She likes that super grimy shit, you know? The kind of music you get down and ultra dirty to. She’s really into free love these days. Look her up.

However, I’m probably going to get a frying pan upside the head for this next list…maybe the LAXX will save me.

5. LAXX – Step One [Never Say Die]

Going hard in the paint, err…I mean studio.

4. Various Artists – Prophication Remix EP [Mau5trap]

Giant remixes to an even bigger EP from last year.

3. Kill Paris – Foreplay EP [OWSLA]

Thank you for another awkward music boner KP.

2. Seven Lions – Worlds Apart [Casablanca Records]

You kidding me, Seven Lions? You’re not of this Earth.

1. Galantis – Galantis EP [Big Beat Records]

Christian Karlsson of Miike Snow and Linus Eklow aka Style Of Eye = Galantis

Honorable Mention: Barely Alive – Lost In The Internet EP [Disciple]

Just about every producer and their mother have attempted to remix a piece of Barely Alive’s latest masterpiece.
