WHO IS DOG BLOOD? Skrillex (Sonny Moore) and Boys Noize (Alexander Ridha)
HAILING FROM? Mars. But actually, LA and Hamburg, Germany
DIG IT IF YOU LIKE? Alvin Risk, Knife Party, Destructo
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE? A match made in heaven by the divine rage gods, Skrillex and Boys Noize have officially joined forces as Dog Blood, giving us all an excuse to put our middle fingers up. They hail from Mars and live in the dog pound, pumping out grimey, techno sounds from another level. Strategically unveiled live for the first time in Detroit on New Year’s Eve, Dog Blood is gearing up to wreak havoc this year. With only 2 official releases so far on OWSLA/Big Beat and Boys Noize Records, this hardcore duo is already set to play the first weekend of Ultra Music Festival, and both weekends of Coachella 2013. Hang on to your headphones, it’s about to be a whole next order.
UPCOMING: There’s no sign of new releases yet, but you can still buy tickets to see Dog Blood at Ultra or Coachella.
BONUS! Dog Blood doesn’t have an official Soundcloud quite yet, but this fanpage posts some insane remixes with free downloads.
