Matt Simmers, Chris Barlow and Jon Spero of the dance floor trembling trio, Terravita, have teamed up with the king of dubstep himself, Datsik, to provide another glimpse into Terravita’s new LP, “Rituals.” From what we’ve already heard of the album via SoundCloud, it certainly looks to be a promising release for these three LA-based producers on their rise to EDM stardom.

A stamp of approval via a collaboration with Datsik doesn’t hurt either.

“Losing Control” is a wildly melodic, Drum and Bass rager infused with hints of classic, old-school grime provided by the Canadian bass aficionado, Datsik. To us, the track is a beautiful infusion of the two group’s styles in a entirely new, unique fashion.

Check it out.

Oh, and the full “Rituals LP” drops via Firepower Records on April Fool’s Day (the 1st, stupid).

Roaring Dubstep: Bare & Datsik – King Kong (TERRAVITA Remix) [HEAVY][FREE DL]

by Keegan Goudie EDM, Heavy • Tags: Bare, Bass, Beta, Crunch, Datsik, Dubstep, EDM, Firepower, Heavy, King Kong, Rottun, Terravita

Peter Jackson’s 2005 rendition King Kong has nothing on Terravita’s. Neither does Jack Black, Adrien Brody, or even the lovely Naomi Watts. If somebody makes a new King Kong movie, and they don’t choose this song to be the theme song – well that would just be a waste of everyone’s time.

Terravita spins ominously-pitched organs with a crunchy, tropical bassline. Their take on King Kong, originally produced by Bare & Datsik, is a dubstep thriller that’ll keep your head bobbing for all 303 seconds. If you can hang for that long. Formed in 2005 by Matt Simmers, Jon Spero, Chris Barlow, Terravita will tickle the fancy of anyone with an itch for bass music.

And this time around, the tickles are free.
