Over the years, SKisM, Never Say Die Records heavyweight, has developed and maintained an inherent reputation for creating hard-hitting, heavy dubstep that so many bass music fanatics have grown to love. Despite releasing multiple beatport chart-topping tracks just within a few months, SKisM continues to push the pace with yet another release, The Division Series Part 1. The EP is, as many of you may have so cleverly guessed, the first installment of a four-part EP series to be released on Never Say Die Records over the next six months. Each part will contain one original tune by none other than SKisM himself, alongside several remixes from the likes of Zomboy, xKore, Dirtyloud, Tantrum Desire and many more. With the release of each installment, SKisM will also put out a 20-minute mix — meaning that by the end of the entire Division Series, fans will have a mammoth 80-minute mix in their possession.
The first installment features “Killer” by SKisM & DC Breaks, featuring Dee Freer on vocals. The original is an agressive dubstep tune that flaunts heavy wobbles and grinding synths, which masterfully weave in and out of Dee Freer’s vocals. Also featured on the EP is Tantrum Desire’s Drum and Bass version of the track. The track emphasizes a slightly lighter feel but quickly builds and drops into a well-developed and on-point drum and bass tune. The final track of the EP is a fresh electro remix by CRUSH. CRUSH is a relatively new face at the Never Say Die Record label, however his remix is nothing to sleep on. Slowing the original BPM down to 128, CRUSH brings a whole new identity to the track that truly is refreshing and unique. You can purchase the EP directly from beatport or stream the tracks directly from Never Say Die Record’s Soundcloud.
