A FIRST FOR HELL FOR BREAKFAST LABEL!
At Hell for Breakfast, we like to push boundaries and try new things that we believe could bring a breath of fresh air to the scene, while still remaining true to the core values. That is what brought us to collaborate with the DJ/producers DJ UNPIER and Kenan Belzner for a dubstep remix of the song "Tour de piste" by Thick Glasses. The mix of rock and dubstep has been more becoming more popular over the past few years with veterans of the scene like PhaseOne collaborating with metal bands like Thy Art Is Murder and Northlane, Steve Aoki collaborating with Blink-182, Sullivan King with Avenged Sevenfold, KORN with Skrillex, Downlink and Noisia, basically, people want to hear it and DJ UNPIER and Kenan Belzner knocked it out of the park with the high energy, easy to dance to, remix.
For DJ UNPIER, his mission is to put French forward in his original mixes. When we first met, he told me "Dubstep is massive in Montréal, yet somehow none of it is in French." so when he heard the new Thick Glasses EP back in August, he had the idea to apply that mix, but with a French spin on it.
In the punk scene since his adolescence, DJ UNPIER couldn't resist reimagining Thick Glasses' song "Tour de piste" with a dubstep twist. With all the hardships as of late, adding a new level of aggressivity to the song provides the listener with an ultimate anthem to vent and let off steam. The melody from "Tour de piste", rough and aggressive vocals and the energy in the original track caught DJ UNPIER's attention and made him want to pay tribute to it by proposing a musical mix between Pennywise and SVDDEN DEATH.
