 |
Electronic duo Rise At Night,—Fiorella, a.k.a. drum ‘n’ bass producer/vocalist Messinian, and Lliam Taylor, a.k.a. producer Kezwik—have released a music video for “Armed & Dangerous,” which made its exclusive premiere on Billboard.com. “The video for ‘Armed & Dangerous’ is part child abduction horror movie and part street gang dance off and all parts mind-blowing, thanks to a vocal from MC Zulu,” says Billboard.

“Armed & Dangerous” is part of their LADY KILLA EP, out now on FIRE POWER RECORDS. The four-track EP bounces from aggressive dubstep bombast to sexy, sweaty, hip-hop-influenced electro. You can feel that razor’s edge on “Armed and Dangerous,” a potent salvo featuring MC Zulu. The track is also paired with a remix from none other than FIREPOWER label head Datsik for a whirlwind remake. Elsewhere, title track “Lady Killa” speaks directly to the girls in the audience with a seductive synth swell. The blip-heavy track also comes fully loaded with a remix from Los Angeles-based producer Whiiite. “Catfight” closes the LADY KILLA EP with a slowed-down, but equally menacing burner featuring Ze on vocal duties.
Keep an eye out for RISE AT NIGHT, who will prove to be one of the fastest rising EDM stars of 2013 on the back of the LADY KILLA EP and their forthcoming tour dates (TBD).

About RISE AT NIGHT:
On paper, electronic duo Rise At Night make for a strange pair. Fiorella—a.k.a. drum ‘n’ bass producer/vocalist Messinian—is a rough and tough, Los Angeles-born, Philadelphia-bred, tattooed, genre veteran who’s been a revered, chart-topping pioneer of drum ‘n’ bass and dubstep for well over a decade. Aside from touring year-round with various DJs and being the vocalist for his own oop/electro/rap projects, Messinian is also the frontman for the annual Planet of the Drums Tour (AK1200, Dieselboy, Dara, and Messinian). This tour has been packing raves and selling out venues for over 10 years. It is considered the most successful tour in drum ‘n’ bass history and is the longest-running electronic music tour ever. He’s performed at the Virgin Music Festival, Area 2 Tour (Moby, Busta Rhymes, David Bowie), Salem Tour (w/ The Roots, Outkast), Playstation 2 Tour, Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival, Love Parade, the Bassrush festivals, Creamfields and numerous huge festivals in Europe and abroad. Meanwhile, his clean-cut, Chico, CA cohort—Lliam Taylor, a.k.a. producer Kezwik—is barely out of high school, but has still managed to garner widespread respect in the EDM community and notch more than a few hits. Still, like any classic combo, their chemistry remains palpable and powerful. They first connected on Taylor‘s Get Dropped EP in 2011 and, consequentially, laid the groundwork for Rise At Night early on. That brings us to the duo’s first offering for Datsik’s Firepower Records, The Lady Killa EP, which will eventually lead into their first full-length. The Lady Killa EP is a diverse journey into the various landscapes o EDM with traces of dubstep, bass, electro, hip-hop and more. Later this year, Rise At Night will make their formal live debut alongside Datsik on the “Firepower Most Wanted Tour,” and their show exudes the same kind of adaptability that characterizes every facet of their enigmatic style.
About FIREPOWER RECORDS:
For label owner and North American dubstep pioneerDATSIK, 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 and DATSIK himself. With tours planned under the label banner and more music on the horizon, they’re well on their way to domination. Either duck and cover or storm the gates with them.
