We celebrated the digital release of ‘Ammunition, Pt.3′ today on Mixixy, and Alex Metric completely killed it. ‘Ammunition Pt. 3′ touches on many genres of Electronic music, showing London native Metric’s producing versatility. Alex’s sound is deeply rooted in earliest styles of underground dance music, touching on Disco, Funk, Chicago House and Detroit Techno as well as Indie Rock. The perfect soundtrack for sweaty, dimly lit lofts and huge festivals the world over. Scandalism takes a Nudisco turn with a funky beat mixed with Electro vibes. Our favorite track is ‘Rave Weapon 2′ , with an array of sounds, intense basslines, and a drop geared for the EDM extremists. All 4 tracks have a uniqueness to them, and it is a perfect way to create an EP for the masses, while showcasing one’s talent. You get a good feeling when you hear tracks that aren’t the typical Electro House breakdowns or Dubstep romps, and Alex Metric has accomplished that with ‘Ammunition Pt. 3′.

Tracklist:
1. Alex Metric & Mark Yardley – ‘Ilium’
2. ‘Scandalism’
