Initially, Stanzack made a name for himself with his drum’n’bass project Ewun, in the mid 2000s. Ewun’s bass heavy, hip-hop sampling style found Stanzack early success, as he found himself releasing singles on labels such as Evol Intent and Barcode, as well as contributing to various compilation albums.
After gaining recognition with his first project, Stanzack created Kill the Noise in 2008. Under his new moniker he took a fresh approach to electronic music, focusing on a range of Electronic Dance Music styles, such as Dubstep and Moombathon.
He released his debut album as Kill the Noise in 2008, titled “Kill Kill Kill”. The album featured mainly dubstep-influenced tracks which were popular on dance floors around the country.
Following on from “Kill Kill Kill”, Stanzack remixed various tracks, such as Kanye West and Estelle’s “American Boy” to much aplomb, before collaborating with producer Jon Gooch on Mau5Trap release “Big Adventure”.
In 2011, Kill the Noise showed his versatitlity when he worked with American nu metal band Korn on their album “The Path of Totality”, contributing to two tracks on the project, as well as performing with them on TV for “Jimmy Kimmel Live”.
Stanzack released his second Kill the Noise album, “Black Magic” in 2012 a speaker melting unashamed EDM era dubstep album, much to the delight of his fans. More recently, he worked alongside EDM superstar Skrillex, on the title track for his album “Recess”, which also features MC Fatman Scoop.
Stanzack also co-owns Miami based Slow Roast Records with DJ Craze, a label that is run in conjunction with DJ A-Trak’s Fools Gold Records
Most seem to think that Americans only started making electronica after the advent of EDM, and that Skrillex is The Beatles, Elvis and Chuck Berry all rolled into one for electronica producers hailing from the US Of A. Nicholas Weiller is the answer to that. While his adolescence was spent addicted to Punk Rock and then Hip-Hop in his late teens, Weiller began getting involved in Atlanta’s nascent electronica scene when he reached his early 20’s. Thanks to playing in so many punk bands in his youth, he was never going to be a passive consumer, and was making a solid name for himself on his local scene by the mid-90s. This came to a head in 2000, when he formed the hardstep drum and bass trio Evol Intent with fellow DJs and Producers Ashley Jones and Mike Diasio.
His work in Evol Intent continues to this very day, but in 2008, Weiller struck out on his own under the name Bro Safari, and his solo work since then has veered from dubstep to trap to moombahton. To this day he remains a revered figure for his work on record, and for his utterly manic live shows that have lead him to sell out prestigious venues like New York City’s Webster Hall. Ridiculous name aside, Weiller is a forward thinking artist embracing the future of music in a way that many of his generation can’t or won’t. For that, he comes highly recommended.
I saw Kill The Noise (Jake Stanczak) live at Grand Central in Miami, Florida in May, 2014. I'm a huge fan of electro house and dubstep, plus I'd heard a lot of Kill The Noise's music before I went to the show, so I thought I knew what to expect.
Boy, was I wrong. Watching Kill The Noise at a show was completely different than listening to a record. The venue was packed full and everyone was on their feet. The energy in the air was indescribable and the whole show was more cinematic than concert-like. "“She Likes To Party” was top-notch and flawless. Likewise, "Can't Give You Up" and "Growin' Up In The Gutter" were epic. Not only was the music amazing, the light show that accompanied Kill The Noise was pure choreographed genius, keeping time with the beat yet not overpowering the sound.
The audience really went wild when "Sleeze" played, screaming, jumping and head banging. The next day I was sore and tired, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It's easy to see why Kill The Noise has a world-wide reputation for being a musical master. If you get the chance to see a live show, do it because you won't be sorry.
‘When I say Bro, you say Safari, Bro, Safari, Bro, Safari, now everybody put your fists in the air, lets go let’s go let’s go let’s go!’…this was how Ashley Jones, aka. The Enemy, opened the Bro Safari gig before the trio of drum and bass DJs launched into their epic set. From start to finish they were calling out to the audience between their DJing, and kept everyone totally enthused and energised throughout the show. It was great to see that as well as their turn tables for blending tracks, they had synths, kaoss pads, and were singing live throughout the show.
They have worked with Grammy Award winning producers and artists which is evident in their catchy creation. They were great at altering the tracks from what everyone was expecting from their recordings, extending the build ups before the drop, inserting extended choruses, and getting everyone to sing along with them.
They played mainly from Animal EP, and Cruise Control EP, as well as playing some remixes, and some of their hit singles. Their talent was evident in a live performance as they were mixing through tracks seamlessly, adding layers with live instruments, and fusing their own tracks together. It was a great atmosphere that they maintained really well, and a showcase of real talent.
