IF there is any group we are looking forward to seeing most at North Coast this year, hands down it would have to be Knife Party. Knife Party is an electro/house duo founded by Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen, former members of Australian electronic rock band Pendulum. Their tracks have been at the top of the EDM scene in the last year, with more than a handful of artists remixing and integrating songs like “Internet Friends” into their sets. Knife Party also has a knack for putting an extremely hard electro spin on others’ tracks, remixing artists such as Swedish House Mafia, Nero, Labrinth and Porter Robinson.

Knife Party has released two EP’s so far: 100% No Modern Talking, which was released free on various sites, and the more recent Rage Valley EP which dropped on May 28 on Beatport and June 4 on iTunes and elsewhere. And while Rage Valley ran into problems of tracks leaking early online, Knife Party commented on the leak, saying they “don’t care”. It’s a truth with a handful of top EDM producers that shows they really care more about the music and their fans then the insatiable crave to simply be in the game to make money.

Knife Party is set to perform on the opening day of North Coast, with a Friday night show that is sure to set the pace for the rest of the weekend. So make sure you turn up your speakers and listen to some of Knife Party’s biggest hits below, because their bangers are sure to put you into the right mood for festival time.
