Only a few months ago, Never Say Die celebrated its milestone tenth anniversary with a plethora of VIPs of classic label tracks as well as several shows across the globe. Now, it’s Black Label‘s turn to celebrate, as the label hits its 100th release at the same time as its fifth anniversary. The hundredth release is a versatile piece from the label’s favourite newcomer, Kill Feed, and today we have the honour of premiering the delectable piece that is ‘Cheesecake.’
It seems like just yesterday that we had the opportunity to interview Kill Feed, welcoming him to the esteemed label and getting his thoughts on joining such an elite roster. Less than six months later, the Belgian producer returns to Never Say Die: Black Label with four menacing tracks as part of his Valley Of Death EP, and ‘Cheesecake’ is among the most fitting for the imprint and most reminiscent of the producer’s early style.
The introduction to ‘Cheesecake’ is lighthearted and upbeat, giving listeners a sense of false hope and, dare we say, representing the sonic equivalent to a New York-style cheesecake topped with strawberries. However, once the fifty-second mark hits, all fruitfulness is lost as Kill Feed unleashes a wicked dubstep flow highlighted by punchy sound design and crisp percussion that reminds us of the most decadent dark chocolate cheesecake known to man. The drops are snappy, enthralling and gruelling all at once, attesting to Kill Feed’s rapid evolution as an artist. Don’t miss ‘Cheesecake’ below and stay tuned for the Valley Of Death EP out on Friday.
