Release Notes:
Having spent much of the past two years orchestrating stadium-sized
crowds to lose their marbles whilst touring the world as the lead
support for The Prodigy and Pendulum.South Central are now back on home
soil and readying themselves for the release of their much-anticipated
debut LP æSociety Of The SpectacleÆ.
Having given the world its first taster in October 2010 with their
single æDemonsÆ, the duo now present æThe Day I DieÆ, the lead single
from the forthcoming album and another indication that this is an act
destined for big things.
Chances are youÆve encountered the Brighton-based duo by now. Whether
you picked up on their string of single/EP releases in 2007-2008 on
labels such as Young Turks/XL, Regal and Holiphonic, or maybe through
one of their numerous mind-melting remixes for acts as varied as
Metronomy, The Maccabees, Crystal Method, Place To Bury Strangers or
their infamous bootleg of The Klaxons (classic alert!).
But almost certainly you will know them for their increasingly
in-demand live show, which has been their primary focus over the past
two years. In just the last year, as well as completing their touring
with Pendulum and The Prodigy, theyÆve DJÆd to Rage Against The
MachineÆs Finsbury Park crowd, headlined clubs such as The Social (Fr),
Razzmatazz (Sp) and Loonyland (Ger), and wrapped up things after Iron
MaidenÆs Sonisphere set. That two year hiatus from releasing music has
been anything but a break!
If those bookings sound a little disparate, they make perfect sense in
South CentralÆs world. The duo are, after all, pretty much the only
true dance/rock crossover act going, a band that blend elements of both
seamlessly and retain an unmatched knack at riling up crowds from both
camps. TheyÆre the closest thing dance music has to punk.
æThe Day I DieÆ only underlines this as Rob and Keith laugh in the face
of genres; successfully merging the rib-cage-shaking bass-wobble of
dubstep with euphoric trance stabs, tough breaks and as close to a pop
vocal hook that South Central have ever sung. ItÆs unsurprising that
this has already become a real fan favourite. This is South CentralÆs
closest moment to a crossover single so far and with a video to die
for(!) and a heavy hitting remix package from The Toxic Avenger, Rhythm
Masters, Qemists, Baxen and a rare rework from The Prodigy (the only
other recent remix by them was for Jay-Z!), it makes it all the more
juicier.
This album is ridiculously good.
