Skrillex may be making serious grounds on his own, given his recent Grammy succes (kudos bro), but his label OWSLA is doing work as well! With the likes of Zedd, Porter Robinson, Kill the Noise, The M Machine and more, we get a pretty promising intro to Melbourne’s Nick Thayer. I wasn’t familiar with him ’til this EP, and I can confidently say there’s no better place for him than OWSLA. The EP ranges from 110 to 140 BPM, so it’s cool to get a taste of his range as a producer. His bouncy wubs and twisted cuts have a little bit of all his aforementioned label mates. The sound isn’t particularly “new,” but for what it’s worth, I can get down. Our favorites at the moment are Top of the World and Facepalm.
Support him on his FaceBook, and if you like his EP after streaming it, buy it on BeatPort…or go to his shows. This won’t be the last time we hear from him I’m sure.
