Taxman Begins

Unless you’ve recently moved out of a small cave with only a wireless radio to listen to for the last few years you’ll already know the bass collective Virus Syndicate…. The Manchester collective have between them been pushing the boundaries of EDM and Lyricism for some time. With a string Beatport and JunoDownload Chartoppers already under their belts and arguably some of the biggest club tracks in recent history to their ever growing repertoire. Collaborations with Skism, Cypress Hill’s DJ Muggs and Foreign Beggars to regular support from the likes of Skrillex, they are certainly making waves and setting new benchmarks internationally with their brand of Bass Fuelled “Electronic Rap Music” Virus Syndicate’s Goldfinger continues to press home their versatility and self-awareness with Taxman Begins, an unashamedly raw and energetic Bass laden anthem that literally drags back the art of rapping. Kicking and screaming! Known for their effortless ability to weave controversy, intelligent social commentary and storytelling into Dance floor Bangers, Taxman Begins continues the trend!!! Philadelphia’s Starkey provides us with the ridiculously ahead of its time Street Bass mix that has your senses on alert from the offset. The synths provide an almost haunting premise before the riot that is a sub bass driven anthem. The Production is massive with a perfect balance of sparsely interlaced kicks, hi hats and snares. Before rolling into a crescendo of rapid-fire breaks. Starkey has truly gone to work on this. San Diego’s Production Duo Kicks n licks KNLDUB Mix comes complete with a straight to web visual which perfectly compliments the vocals. The visual itself pays homage to some of the greatest movies of the last century with a slickly put together collage. Orchestral strings, Brass and razor tight percussion, lay the backdrop to an epic combination. In addition to what already is a monster single French producer Darkham’s Bassface mix provides the “heavy drop” full with churning sub bass and face contorting synth wobbles. Not one for the faint hearted!! We at Caseload records proudly give to you. Virus Syndicate Presents… Goldfinger Taxman Begins
