New Jersey DJ/producer Mark Wise has been making dancefloors come alive since he first got behind the turntables at parties in college, and he began producing after graduation. Informed by his background playing percussion, his lifelong love of rock music, and some unexpected modern influences, Wise eventually discovered that heavy metal guitar riffs and dance grooves don't have to be mutually exclusive.
Today, after steeping himself in the work of the industrial-metal and techno pioneers that came before him, Wise continues to forge his own infectious alloy of the elements he loves. "My music can certainly be aggressive," Wise chuckles, "but it's a FUN kind of aggressive."
Wise is set to go "absolutely fucking mental" with his new EP Satisfaction, which drops on all platforms on November 14th via Teoria Perfekta. Extended mixes are currently available to purchase exclusively on Beatport for digital download.
With the track "Satisfaction," Wise reimagines Benny Benassi's dance classic, arriving at his most seamless blend of metal and techno to date. Wise's muscled-up beat whips us into a frenzied trance, which is punctuated by buzzsaw guitars and tortured screams. Be ready to get your body rocked to exhaustion if you're on the dancefloor when this track engulfs the room like a tidal wave.
Meanwhile, on the original "Dark Angels," Wise collaborates with Danicide, singer/guitarist of the Peruvian industrial band Noisecide, to deliver an even heavier gut punch in the style of dance-infused industrial metal a la KMFDM or the CCN remix of Motorhead's "Ace of Spades."
About the EP, Wise has just one thing to say: "Satisfaction is absolutely fucking mental. Completely, 100% mental — and it's glorious."
