Press Info:
Blank Code starts 2014 off strong with their latest EP Rituals of Submission, produced by Luis Flores with remixes by Black Asteroid and DJ Hyperactive. The opening track Discipline starts off with a nice creepy atmosphere supported by a solid kick and just the right amount of percussion to hook you into the track’s core rhythm, which stays consistent while the supporting percussion keeps the intensity of the track in constant motion. Black Asteroid’s Discipline Remix gives the track a whole new perspective, while staying true to the original’s excellent use of classic elements. The straightforward kick and up-beats work perfect with this track’s industrial bass line, while cleverly programmed analog synths carry the track with slow triplet rhythms, and quirky stabs that drift off to space.

Luis Flores’ second original composition, The Word, follows the same philosophy as Discipline with many elements coming together to form one solid rhythm. This is a huge sounding track with intricate metal percussion and pitch modulated stabs that form a dark and inciting hook which is overtaken by filtered claps as the track progresses. DJ Hyperactive gets down to business with his remix of The Word and lets his Chicago roots shine through as hats on all fours and hard hitting claps are used to raise the energy sparked by the deep kick and well processed stab.

Black Asteroid gives us something special exclusive to the digital release, with an alternate version of his Discipline remix. The Experimental Remix uses the same parts from his original remix and rearranges them into a much more dynamic composition where the synths get really tweaked out.
