DallasK & Henry Fong – Blackmail [April 11 – Kemosabe Records]

It’s been well known that both DallasK and Henry Fong are both great DJs and producers in their own rights, but they hopped into the studio together and the result is pretty huge. The two Americans came together to produce a track titled “Blackmail” and has since signed the record to Ultra Records. After each artist posted short and cryptic teasers of this track without revealing who they collaborated with, it soon became obvious that “Blackmail” was a collaborative creation between DallasK and Henry Fong. “Blackmail” will be released on April 11.

“Blackmail” actually features two completely different drops, with the first being a more gritty electro sound, and the second having a more melodic and progressive vibe to it. It’s interesting to note that the cords from the second drop actually make their appearance in the second set of bars during the first drop. The break in the middle serves as a perfect transition between these two styles, as the melody stands on its own finally. The second drop actually comes in a rather unexpected fashion, since intense close listening is required to hear the buildup.

This monster of a collaboration between DallasK and Henry Fong will be available on April 11 through the Beatport online music store. Enjoy!
