David Heartbreak – The Foundation EP
Skrillex has said that his label OWSLA does not have a genre, that it puts out music because they think it is good, not because it conforms to their genre. They have done a good job at doing this, with even putting a semi-acoustic band on the label, but they do always produce awesome music.
They have done this again with David Heartbreaks’s The Foundation EP, a combination of six songs, some in the dubstep arena, and others more towards slow dance core. Heartbreak has been around for a while, producing 22 EPs on his own prior to signing with OWSLA earlier this year. During his time before OWSLA, he made a splash in the EDM world, with numerous plays on the BBC radio 1, to receiving kudos from some of the biggest names like Diplo and Brodinski.
As far as The Foundation goes, Heartbreak is killing it. “Heartbreak ft. Anna Yvette” is the classic song that we expect from a Skrillex backed artist, heavy bass lines and shimmering vocals. The best song however, would have to be “Yardcore Pressure”. It almost seems like a trap song, with a pounding bass drum and a reggae sounding voice above it.
