Firing off directly into a gruesome house beat which only gets darker over time, hard-hitting vocals lead listeners into a fury of drums before descending into a prolonged frequency of sound that can only be listened to with the volume turned up to eleven. Unarguably “flipping the script” on this one, Saint Punk highlights his signature staccato drums as he takes full control of your mind with metal wrenching basslines and menacing synths to energize listeners no matter where they are. Injecting the track with even more energy, futuristic twists, and a series of snare switches, Saint Punk reminds his listeners that his signature still lives on.

Check out what Saint Punk had to say about his pioneering remix below as we had the pleasure of catching up with this grunge house connoisseur.

Talk to us about your latest remix of Ookay and Cesqeaux’s ‘The Pit.’ What was your idea behind the remix and how did it come about?

I really loved the original, and off the first listen knew it was in my wheelhouse to remix. I wanted to stay pretty true to their version, and just put my flavor on it. I chopped up their main drop lead and found a lot of other cool pieces of their stems to chop up as well.

I love distorted and organic sounds, and combining that with house felt good to me.

Becoming recognized for your unique grunge house sound, can you share what inspired you to move in this direction?

Moving in this direction felt pretty natural. The more I wrote and remixed, the more my sound came out. I love distorted and organic sounds, and combining that with house felt good to me.

Finding good people is easy, but finding great people is hard. So if that means I need to get the artwork and videos done myself, that’s the way it is.

Besides performing and producing tracks, you are also passionate about music videos, photography, and graphic design. What would you say is the biggest challenge you have faced when multi-tasking all core elements of production?

The biggest challenge is the amount of time! I wish humans didn’t need sleep (laughing). There is not enough time in the day to handle all aspects, but I have a solid team that allows me to focus on what I need to when I need to. Finding good people is easy, but finding great people is hard. So if that means I need to get the artwork and videos done myself, that’s the way it is.

The negatives are not touring, not being able to see people, not being able to go to my favorite restaurants… It is what it is. And what it is sucks, but it is all for a very real, very important reason. That is what I have to keep reminding myself of.

On a different note, how did the pandemic situation affect you as an artist? Did quarantine positively or negatively affect your creativity?

I think I can speak for everyone when I say the pandemic has sucked. There are definitely positives. I was able to make a lot more music during quarantine since I have spent all my time in the studio, and I have also been able to release a lot of that music already. The negatives are not touring, not being able to see people, not being able to go to my favorite restaurants… It is what it is. And what it is sucks, but it is all for a very real, very important reason. That is what I have to keep reminding myself of.

Anything you would like to share about future productions as we move towards 2021?

Get ready for my debut album coming soon! SP 2.0.

Los Angeles based artist, Saint Punk got his start with music in rock and had been in and out of bands before he started to gravitate towards electronic music. He had dabbled in other aspects of the music industry including videography, photography, and graphic art.  It was not long after creating and releasing electronic bangers with heavy bass focused dance vibes, that Tchami took notice of all Saint Punk and the rest is history.

His latest release is his self titled EP with Confession and it is a doozy of a duo track if ever there was one. Now, with a name like Saint Punk and a dark, ‘leather and chains’ aesthetic, it can only be assumed that things might get filthy. The first track ‘Daddy’ is full of wubs, icy synths, and slick drops into a shufflers playground of bubbly house bounciness. Promises fulfilled it’s fun to feel the cocky vibe of the lyrics against the deep swagger of the beat.

This is grunge house- a dash of punk rebellion, a pinch of hip hop fire, a splash of dubstep, a generous dollop of creamy house, and plenty of what can only be talent to catch the common edge through all those genres. ‘Disko’ is packed with fun and flirty house vibes, it entertains with its deep vocals, quick drops, and beat made to dance to.

Check out both below.
