The Electro duo Knife Party will release their much anticipated third release The Haunted House EP May 6th on Big Beat Records. The EP is their follow-up to 2012′s well received Rage Valley EP , which broke into the iTunes Top Ten charts, and helped propel them into dance music stardom, culminating in a headlining slot at this year’s Coachella Festival, a spot on the Ultra Main Stage and a residency at Wynn Resorts in Las Vegas less than two years after their debut.

With Haunted House, Knife Party give us three new tracks including the brutal opener “Power Glove” which quickly went viral after they played the track during a January Turntable.FM session. “LRAD” take a different direction by toning down the aggression and adding loud, progressive chords to the mix. The boys also make a playful jab at their own viral success with “EDM Death Machine”. To round out the EP they’ve included the VIP Remix of “Internet Friends” originally found on their debut 100% No Modern Talking, which ramps up the tension into a shattering drop to close the album. Always ones to be at the forefront when it comes to new technologies and innovation, Knife Party will be making their Haunted House EP available to buy on their website with Bitcoins, alongside the traditional digital outlets for music. Bitcoin is an experimental, decentralized digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world using peer-to-peer technology.(http://bitcoin.org/en/). This will be the first time a major label has made a released available to purchase with Bitcoins, and may even set the tone for artists around the world looking to implement new ways for fans to purchase their music.
