Known for his hip-hop, future-tech bangers, dubstep trailblazer DATSIK takes a different turn with “Evilution,” his new single with Infected Mushroom out now exclusively on iTunes with release at all other retailers March 13. The track and corresponding video, which made its debut yesterday on RollingStone.com, features special guest Jonathan Davis of KORN.
“Evilution” is the second single off VITAMIN D, DATSIK’s debut artist album for Dim Mak Records due out April 10. It was built from another Jonathan Davis collaboration (DATSIK has several production credits on KORN’s latest album, The Path of Totality), this time with Israeli psy-trance duo Infected Mushroom. Collaborating after a chance meeting backstage at New York’s massive Electric Zoo festival last summer, the pair brought their wildly disparate sounds together as one. “Blending dubstep with psy-trance and Jonathan Davis sounds kind of insane,” DATSIK says, “but the track came out great and I’m stoked on it.”
Prior to releasing VITAMIN D, DATSIK continues to cross North America as co-headliner with Steve Aoki on their ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK PRESENTS DIM MAK’S DEADMEAT TOUR 2012 powered by SOL REPUBLIC. Following its completion on March 14 in Sacramento, DATSIK will travel to Las Vegas for his first ever play in Sin City at Surrender March 16 and then return to Miami where he’ll once again perform at this year’s Ultra Music Festival Saturday, March 24 at Bayfront Park. DATSIK will also appear at Coachella in Southern California April 13 and 20
