NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES CONFIRMED
“The Los Angeles electronic duo has got something much deeper and darker happening at the heart of its sound. Crucially, it’s that essence which distinguishes them from the larger EDM landscape. There’s no one out there that sounds like Cold Blank, and that’s why The Agenda is so utterly raw, real, and refreshing.”
– Rick Florino, ARTISTDIRECT, August 6, 2012
Los Angeles-based electro house production duo COLD BLANK have released their debut album THE AGENDA, out now on their own independent imprint Burn The Fire, undeniably the label’s biggest and most anticipated project to date. AOL MUSIC recently premiered the debut of THE AGENDA in their Full CD Listening Party feature to celebrate the occasion. Listen to THE AGENDA in full at AOL MUSIC now through August 13: http://aol.it/OLdHf4. THE AGENDA is now available at Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/release/the-agenda/944640.
The duo recently released current single “Onslaught” featuring Andy Taylor (Duran Duran’s original lead guitarist), where he meshes his legendary guitar skills with COLD BLANK’s signature electro house sound, perfectly bridging the worlds of rock and electronic dance music. Several world-renowned producers are already supporting “Onslaught,” including Benny Benassi and Larry Tee, as well as Designer Drugs plus many more. Purchase “Onslaught” here http://www.beatport.com/release/onslaught/932806.

About COLD BLANK:
Destroying dancefloors everywhere with massively heavy beats, Chris Gaspar and Manny Luquin, the Los Angeles-based electro house production duo behind COLD BLANK, are at the top of their game. As owners of the reputable record label Burn The Fire, they have their finger on the pulse of raw electronic dance music and are keeping it pumping hard with their debut full-length album THE AGENDA, out August 6. Launching their Burn The Fire brand in 2008 with a wildly successful party in Los Angeles called Smash Disco, COLD BLANK has played a large role in shaping the scene and sound of the Southern California dance world. The next year saw their very first release chart on the Beatport Top 100 and they’ve continuously hit the marker ever since. Early tracks like “Dutchie,” “Raver Booty” and “The Lizard King” have become electro house anthems, and more recent songs like “Die Famous,” “Redroid” and “Ancient Physic Tandem War Elephant” show that COLD BLANK has no intention of slowing down. Having remixed artists like Chuckie, Robbie Rivera, Zedd, Spencer & Hill, Vandalism, Rank 1, PeaceTreaty and even Cypress Hill, Rusko and Damian Marley, their extensive catalog is supported by many top DJs including David Guetta, Armin Van Buuren, Tiësto, Moby, Knife Party, Axwell, John Dahlback, Morgan Page, Paul Oakenfold and more. COLD BLANK also currently host their weekly Burn The Fire radio show on the Electric Sound Stage channel on iHeartRadio.
