The Bionic Bunnies of Bass are about to launch an all out assault on hi-fi systems everywhere, releasing their 4th studio album on digital platforms starting October 1st. With subwoofers set to DESTROY, Blackburner bring the serious bass on this new outing, showcasing a new Trap-influenced style that mixes extremely low bass with bright synths, a sound popularized by Baauer's “Harlem Shake.” The opening salvo here is the magnificent, reggae-inflected “Burn” followed by an earthshaking remix of Bob Marley's “Sun Is Shining,” which has already gained airplay on BBC's Radio 1. Proving no genre is safe from their subsonic fury, Blackburner let loose on a superb Dubstep cover of the anthemic single “Radioactive” by alternative rock heroes Imagine Dragons, demonstrating a deftness with both rock and EDM that has kept this duo in the top ranks at Beatport for the last 6 months! Following the release of Bass Warning!, Blackburner will be embarking on another cross-country tour in early 2014. Prepare for the Bass Invasion - you have been WARNED!
