Loadstar - Encarta / Change the Channel - Out Now!

2016 has been a climatic year for Loadstar, having played the UK’s 

biggest festival stages seeing them once again gear up for a string of club 

releases.The anticipation is slowly growing with each fresh sonic piece of 

artwork and after the critical acclamation which has followed their career 

it’s easy to see why. Whether it’s the gritty basslines the guys are known 

for, or the more melodic rollers which have peppered their sets recently, 

they’ve stuck to a versatile soundscape and this output will be no different.


The next stepping stone in their colossal release schedule is ‘Channel 

the Channel’ and ‘Encarta’. Both tracks platform quick-firing beats and the 

quickly processing basslines apparent throughout the darker side of their 

discography.

‘Change the Channel’ sets a precedent. Rolling forward on an 

incredibly deceiving intro, one which focuses on a melody that resurfaces 

at various segments, although you’re soon dropped into absolute chaos. 

Reminiscent of their earlier productions, yet bringing together more 

harmonious elements, you’re drawn into a sound which merges two ends 

of the spectrum. Snatching hooks snare themselves within the mix, before 

the track slowly begins to collect itself. A flicker of cinematic sample 

breaks this down quickly, once more throwing you head first into a 

smashing relay of breaks.


Bouncier and hitting harder with every kick drum, ‘Encarta’ follows 

with clicking hi-hats and warbling bass notes which build with every layer. 

A track that heavily relies on its build up, the track is diced up into 

segments and with each part you’re thrown down a conundrum of 

smashing percussion. A construction line of drums hit harder and harder 

with every loop pattern and you’ll be unable to pull yourself out of the 

track’s composition. It’s so tightly woven, Loadstar’s ingenious design 

becomes very clear.


Igniting crowds worldwide, whether in Las Vegas or at 

Glastonbury, Loadstar have returned with more fire than ever.
