Moving into the final stages of summer, FIREPOWER RECORDS is continuing to bring the heat with a slew of new releases coming up in September. Protohype’s “Fly” will be receiving the remix treatment, Trampa will be officially joining the camp with his first full EP for the label and Datsik and Rekoil are both back on the label with their latest installments:

Sept 3 – Protohype – “Fly” remixes
Sept 10 – Trampa – Jurassic EP
Sept 17 – Rekoil – Reclaimer EP (Part 1)
Sept 24 – Datsik – Let It Burn (Part 2)

First up, “Fly” from Protohype’s recent Hear No Evil EP receives a selection of impressive reworks, which is set for release on September 3. Remix competition winners Trentino, Init and Isqa all twist the original in to a series of bold new shapes from bass heavy house to warped dubstep, while Finnish producer and Never Say Die artist 501 completes the package with a crispy, synth-led take on the original.

Following on September 10, Trampa will step up to the label with his fully-fledged debut for the label following a contribution to “Bonesaw” from Getter’s Smasher EP earlier this summer. The UK-based artist steps up with the four-track Jurassic EP, showcasing a selection of heavyweight dubstep productions with a fresh twist and plenty of bite. 

September 17 label stalwart Rekoil will make his return with part one of the Reclaimer EP. Made up of seven new productions, including a collaboration with Devour, the new EP finds the young producer on top form. Fluidly moving between maniacal dubstep. booming trap and speaker rattling drum and bass, the EP is packed full of incisive rhythms, devastating drops and eerie atmospheres.

Last but certainly by no means least is Firepower head honcho Datsik himself, who returns with the follow-up to the Cold Blooded EP from early 2013. Set for release on September 24, the ten-track Let It Burn EP sees the North American bass music pioneer collaborating with fellow producers Getter and Bais Haus as well as vocalists Georgia Murray and Zyme on a series of fresh club destroying productions ready to be unleashed.

The new EP will precede the start of the ‘Firepower Most Wanted’ tour, which will be heading off across North America throughout October and November. Datsik will be joined on the tour by Funtcase, Antiserum & Mayhem, Protohype, Sub Antix, Must Die!, The Frim and Rise At Night, with the all new Vortex Lumen visuals by VSquared Labs.  More info can be found at: www.fpmostwantedtour.com

About FIREPOWER RECORDS:
For DATSIK, FIREPOWER stands out as an extension of his revered and applauded musical persona. “I come from the dark, hip hop-influenced side of dubstep, and I’m trying to create a haven for that style,” he explains. “There are all of these incredible young producers on the rise. I want to elevate them and promote them. If I’m playing a track in my set, I’m likely to sign it and release it. Those are my guidelines, and FIREPOWER‘s dance floor ammunition is my contribution to the EDM world.”  DATSIK‘s specialty is wrecking the dance floor. However, founding a label has always been part of his plan.  FIREPOWER began formally contributing to that landscape with the release of AFK & Hizzleguy‘s 10-song EP, Full Clip. Unveiled in February 2012 on iTunes and Beatport, the collection solidified FIREPOWER as an explosive force to be reckoned with. Shortly after, the second signing Getter dropped the razor sharp Psycho EP. Other acts that make up the roster include Barron, Rekoil, Terravita, The Frim, Diamond Pistols and DATSIK himself.
