Designer Drugs - Drop Down

In a world of dirty hipsters and even dirtier electro, those that resound with gritty, zealous synths and frantic basslines reign supreme. Designer Drugs, a couple of odd fellows who have come out of the woodwork with those assets and more, have churned out remix after remix and made a name for themselves as purveyors of true fucking party music. Lucky for us, their original music is just as good as the many remixes that they lay claim to, and with their newly released singles, "Riot / Drop Down," they prove this to club kids with a stunning array of caustic, and often violent, beats. I'm somewhat concerned about the general anger and sense of sadism that I expect, and thoroughly enjoy, from a lot of the music I listen to... but with videos like The Bloody Beetroots' Awesome and the studded fist that adorns the cover of "Riot / Drop Down," this theme of animosity seems rather self-perpetuating, though it does happen to perfectly coincide with the "get fucked and dance" party atmosphere of electro as well. The single that stands out more to me out of the two is "Drop Down." The little hook, "drop down, let me give it to you," is catchy as all hell and signals the coming of an atomic explosion of sound and weird, manic melodies. The wobbly electro synth melody pervades through the music as convulsive and dark and conjoins fantastically with an equally invasive crazy resonating alarm sound. The build is fucking beautiful, and the drop even more so. If you want darkened electro with a taste of pure party frenzy, this track is for you. Check it.
