Chicago EDM group Krewella has been around for the better part of half a decade, which means they have plenty of friends in the business. That comes in handy, it turns out, when putting together a 8-track remix EP, "Play Harder," the band's first EP, topped Beatport, dance music's biggest retailer, out December 10. The Electronic dance music group have let loose a brand new official music video for their hit single "Alive," one of the many soon-to-be-banger-tracks with a few remixes off of their EP.
"A lot of the remixers are friends that we know personally and reached out to," the electro trio composed of Jahan Yousaf, Yasmine Yousaf and Kris "Rain Man" Trindl said in an email to The Huffington Post. "We are blessed to know so many talented producers." Calling in friends and confidants is a smart move for Krewella, who embrace a certain DIY approach to music and the consumption of it. "We're going to keep putting our music out for free, but if we sell certain records, we encourage our fans to grab our music in any way possible," the group wrote before adding, "*cough cough zippyshare.*"
Krewella's EP contains a wide range of EDM styles including dubstep, electro & progressive house, drumstep, and moombahton. And perhaps that makes their success even sweeter. "Alive," is a huge melodic electro house banger, and an track full of rebellion and living life to the fullest. I don't think there's any doubt 2013 will begin with an enormous Krewella takeover. Moving quicker through the EDM ranks than two hot girls can drag their guy friend to the front row of a show, their rise to success has been impressive.
The Brian Schlam directed-video takes place in a run down desert which leads to breaking stuff, partying, and burning a stuffed panda bears, depicts three band members and co. causing a ruckus in post-apocalyptic barren lands. This clip for "Alive" is all about that teenage fantasy of having a dilapidated Instagram-y crash pad in the desert, where you and your friends can spraypaint, make out, and burn stuff. Yasmine and Jahan's vocals are on point, and we're also not complaining about the sexy "rocker meets leather biker at the apocalypse" look they've glammed up for the clip.
