London based Luca Gulotta and Joe Erskine aka KillSonik rose like a phoenix from the ashes of dubstep behemoth Chasing Shadows.
Signed exclusively to MTA Records in mid 2011, KillSonik opened their
account with a ballsy remix of Nero’s “Crush On You.” The track had a
world exclusive first play on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 show and well over
a million YouTube views in the first week of upload alone.
Luca and Joe rolled out their first heinous tracks mid 2009 on Hench,
most notably “Dr Sin”, “The End”, “ill” and “Amirah.” All were received
exceptionally well amongst the big hitters in the bass music scene –
Skream, Plastician, Pendulum, Chase & Status, Mary Anne Hobbs and a
slew of others.
They then turned their creative hand to Damien
Marley’s “It was written” and between two uploads of the track they
promptly received over 10 million views on YouTube.
Their
particular brand of nasty dubstep hasn’t gone unnoticed by Hollywood –
with cinematic power piece “Odyssey” being used in the biggest budget
movie of the year – Universal Pictures mighty “Battleship”. KillSonik
followed up by writing tracks for the “Forza 4” racing computer game on
Xbox and having a track feature on the hugely successful CSI Miami
television series.
The stage was then set for KillSonik to
support fully established MTA label mates Nero on their Second Reality
live tour in March 2012. KillSonik continue to go from strength to
strength appearing at shows in Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Russia,
Canada and numerous other countries world wide as well as having just
completed a monster remix for label owners Chase & Status’s
“Flashing Lights”.
