Evol Intent - Street Knowledge

Evol evol evol. This song is interesting because it starts off just remixed old school hip hop with a fat beat and stuff. And then the awesomest movie clip and gun cock right before the drop into heavy darkstep.

Darkstep is a style of dnb mostly pioneered by guys like Spor and Evol and Ewun. It blows all other branches of dnb out of the water with how much energy it has. You can totally head bang to some of these songs. Evol intent's style sets him apart a little because you really notice that he likes to put rap/gangster themes to his music. With songs like Glock Party and this one standing out particularly. I think its an excellent touch and fits perfect.

A little story i have with this song. I was blasting it and sitting at a red light and a whole car full of black guys pulled up and started head nodding to it and they were like "yeahhh" and when it dropped their faces turned to horror, while a twisted smile grew on mine. Whenever i hear this song i think of that time, it was priceless.

Not to say he can't do calmer songs with great melodies and such, flipside and middle of the night are two of my favorites of his. But i do have a long history of an unhealthy obsession with Spor and this guy so darkstep really was all i listened to for more than a year.

I missed out on a lot of chances to see these guys because they only really play in the UK and if they come here they do 21+ shows solely. I have been lucky enough to go to tons and tons of other shows in all types of situations though and next year ill be 21 so hopefully ill get to see them play in the next few years or so.

I had a hard time choosing which song of his to post here, i chose this one because of the theme it has and how it shows his style a little. But i really recommend you go listen to all his hits and his newest cd 'era of diversion' it's excellent.
