1-Five Finger Death Punch
2-DeVas
Following their double a-side release "Pistol Whip" and "Zion" earlier in the year, the unstoppable Norin & Rad, aka Bruce Karlsson and Nick Sember, return with another dual charge of cutting-edge progressive trance bombs.
A lethal jab of bonkers didgeridoo bass and teched-out prog grooves, "Five Finger Death Punch" sees Bruce and Nick take a deeper direction than previously with crazy edits and funky tweaks powering into the break. Adding a sweeping melody on the breakdown, "Five Finger Death Punch" surges into a soaring synth-powered drop that oozes emotion.
Completing another double hit of Norin & Rad goodness, "Devas" blends big room grooves with a typically musical and dramatic piano breakdown.
Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the finest duos in the EDM scene at the moment are ready to punch big time your soundsystem with two really versatile and ready to blow your mind tracks. Anjunabeats, the forward thinking label headed by Above and Beyond present another very hot and simply outstanding EP by the USA upcoming and quickly rising stars Norin & Rad. The duo that landed in the trance scene and has changed it big time. Their sound is definitely a hybrid of melodic trance, epic progressive house,nu rave and electronica. Their eclecticism and originality is evident on both Five Finger Death Punch and DeVas. Two big room peak time crowd movers ready to challenge your perceptions and inhibitions. Five Finger Death Punch starts with quite aggressive dirty greedy basslines upon tribal beats but on the main break epic melodic theme is revealed to offer the moment of ultimate euphoria on the dancefloor and lead the track to its hands in the air moment. Progressive trance and progressive house djs will appreciate the freshness and the purity of the sounds carefully constructed to lead your audience to its ultimate high. DeVas is equally devastating and ready to play with wonky basslines, little piano riffs and tribal chunky beats. The first breakdown reveals the old school piano riff and then the track drive us towards the big and main breakdown. Packed with atmosphere and emotions as along with the main piano theme there is another more melancholic little melody that is revealed and lead the track to its euphoric moment. If you search for a trancier melodic anthem this track sounds right and exact for your needs. Experience the Future of EDM Now! Love IT!
