spag heddy – Media In Review

Man, these boys have been incredibly busy and will not take a break anytime soon. Kicking things off we have “Hate Being Alone”, the final track from SLANDER’s newest The Headbangers Ball EP. SLANDER has been very busy since bursting onto the scene in 2014 (with their ever-popular Showtek remix), but throughout 2017 and 18 we are expected to see numerous original productions and a further grounding of their “heaven trap” style. With multiple original releases under their belt in the last few months, there is no way we can stop the SLANDER now, especially since they have extra ammunition in their corner.

SLANDER, just do yourselves a favor and take a minute so we can catch up. Now with the full release of SLANDER’s The Headbangers Ball EP, we are able to actually have a clear picture of SLANDER’s range. Since we have already heard the first two tracks on the EP in previous weeks, “Hate Being Alone” is under our microscope. Since this is an official collaboration with vocalist Dylan Matthews, SLANDER allows him to take the stage front and center. Matthews’ vocal work creates a realistic and angsty feeling, which is only further complimented by SLANDER’s organic yet ethereal instruments. Start them off with a sweet intro, then come up quickly with stabbing synth work. “Hate Being Alone” is yet another example of SLANDER showcasing just exactly what they came here to do.

Even though you have your own imprint, you need to spread a bit of the love around. This week we are checking out “Running To You”, the latest from SLANDER and Spag Heddy on Monstercat. SLANDER has been very busy since bursting onto the scene in 2014 (with their ever-popular Showtek remix), but throughout 2017 and 18 we are expected to see numerous original productions and a further grounding of their “heaven trap” style. With multiple original releases under their belt in the last few months, there is no way we can stop the SLANDER now, especially since they have extra ammunition in their corner.

“‘Running To You‘ is finally here! We’ve wanted to work with Spag Heddy for a while now, and finally getting this one done with him was a truly amazing experience. For this song, we tried to blend our sounds together as seamlessly as possible by taking the listener from a deeply emotional moment straight into a heavy one!! We thought this duality of emotion really made the track feel special since it’s very two-faced and doesn’t sit in any traditional genre category. We hope you guys enjoy this rollercoaster! Also, be sure to check out the rest of Spag‘s music! He is a mad man!” – SLANDER

Who is ready for more SLANDER? Their newest track “Running To You”, is the second preview single for SLANDER’s upcoming Headbangers Ball EP and is definitely an indication of what we should expect. SLANDER is quickly becoming known for their expert blending of melodic sound-scapes and heavy-hitting beats, and “Running To You” is a prime example of exactly that. SLANDER couldn’t do everything on their own this time though, as they enlisted the help of fellow producer Spag Heddy and vocalist Elle Vee. Vee opens the track with supreme vocal work that captures us with sweet melodies until we are essentially thrown off a cliff.
