Now sat on a great ensemble of productions found on Death Proof Recordings and Lot49, and taking plaudits from the likes of Meat Katie, Marco Bailey, The Dolphins, Jesse Voorn or The Micronauts, The Omega Men deliver their first EP proper, a double header of epic 4/4 proportions 'Girls Noize' & 'Electric Kool Aid'.
DPR004 The Omega Men - Girls Noize/Electric Kool Aid - OUT NOW by Death Proof Recordings
'Girls Noize' kicks off the EP in style, the guys typically thunderous & manic drumline sits amongst some of the finest synth work we’ve heard in a long time. Swaying emotive melodies drop and flow through breakdowns and builds whils 'Electric Kool Aid' then ventures into the darker enclaves of The Omega Men’s lair, another well-structured percussive element gets disjointed by thunderous claps and snares, smacking you up the face as it takes hold. And out come the sirens, like wailing banshees they scream at you rising to a raucous & overwhelming breakdown.
But it doesn’t stop there, as you know we like to pull out all the stops on the remix package and this one is up there with the best yet.
Captain Magic (Lot49, Benefit), better known as Vandal’s deviant 4/4 alter-ego, takes on ‘Electric Kool Aid’ for an Electro/Techno pounder.
Johan Soh (Sound Of Habib, Underwater) plies his extensive knowledge to ‘Girls Noize’ which results in a melodic broken tech masterpiece.
zAm'X (Expressillon, Minimalminuts) may be new to some ears, but this Frenchman is getting us extremely excited at Death Proof towers: his remix takes ‘Girls Noize’ to a whole different orgasmic level! He’s made a Tech House track that will damage any dance floor it should be set upon, keeping a frenetic energy throughout!

iDJ Magazine "Brilliant hoover-raving dancefloor destroyer. Nice! The original is the best but the Omega Men Remix charges things up well enough to also be worthy of a mention."
''The Omega Men (Lot 49, Death Proof Recordings) execute yet another synonymous big room track, detuned wailing synths and pads sit feverishly over a riotous drum line, building and swaying into a track that would make any ardent techno fan doff his cap in respect.''

''The Omega Men remix. A question has to be asked, what were these men doing while making this? You could only assume it concerned a padded cell and some absinthe, as they’ve gone berserk on it, turning it into a frenzied, techno behemoth! Driving bass and a heaving drumline accompanied by feverish and furious synths.''
