GANZ Works His Magic with “Lost Boys” EP on Quality Goods Records
Following the release of its lead-off single, “Rufio’s Theme,” bass music heavyweight GANZ today dropped his full Lost Boys EP. The themed EP not only draws inspiration from Hook and the tales of Peter Pan and The Lost Boys, but also showcases the producer’s musical journey from the past to the present, and into the future. Aside from “Rufio’s Theme,” “Fairy Dust” and “UGH!” are the undisputed bangers of the ensemble, but none of the melodic elements within the collection of tracks are lost amid the barrage of bass. Those elements are retained throughout the whole EP, and “No Naps” and the title track convey melodic themes that seem nearly cinematic. Sitting pretty somewhere between futu...

Alt-Rock Meets Electronic in Saint Punk’s Scintillating Two-Track Remix Pack of The Used’s “The Taste of Ink”
Grunge house producer Saint Punk is here with his latest electro-inspired bomb, a two-track remix bundle of platinum-selling rock band The Used‘s debut 2002 single “The Taste of Ink.” Rapidly gaining traction in the electronic dance music world for his unique blend of alt-rock and electro, Saint Punk does a brilliant job of breathing new life into the early 2000’s pop-punk jam with two contrasting reworks. The “Summer Lockdown Edit” is a bona fide pre-summer bop, as Saint Punk uses crunchy guitar riffs and crisp percussion elements to crystallize the original into a foot-tapping future house thumper. The “Underground Lockdown Edit,” on the other hand,” strikes a more sinister chord. The remix pack’s second and ...
