SONG OF THE DAY: Five Knives – The Rising

Living in Nashville, the trio Five Knives have been on my radar with their incredibly strong string of tracks – Vive Le Roi, Messin’ With My Mind, and The Future. Their sound blends the more aggressive EDM genres – electro, chainsaw, trap, and drum & bass with a rock vibe and the powerful rasp of lead singer Anna Worstell. Imagine a mix of Knife Party, Die Antwoord, Krewella, and Republica to get an idea. Listening to their tracks, it should come as no surprise that they caught a big buzz at SxSW 2013 and have been playing bigger events around the country ever since. Their breakout single “The Rising” is starting to make even more noise in clubs thanks to a plethora of remixes. With so many to choose from, it’s hard to decide on a favorite, but the mixes by Xilent, Dave Aud?, and Damn Kids find their way into my playlists the most often.

INTERVIEW: Korr-A (2013)

Korr-a is one to watch.??Her recent single ?Fiyacraka? was supported by Hardwell and made a huge splash on the Billboard Club Chart.???Her performances are explosive, as she blends intense choreography with live vocals.??Coming up next, she has a new single for the holidays, a modern update of ?Deck the Halls,? and a playful club anthem ?Fuck Me Like You Mean It.???We performed together recently at Roscoe?s Tavern in Chicago for a Fusion Radio party and after seeing her live, I instantly pulled her manager aside to set up an interview for the site.??Expect big things from her in 2014!

DJ Ron Slomowicz: Where does the name Korr-a come from?
Korr-A: It kind of stems from my last name Korban. When I was little, everyone would call my dad Korra for short, and people started calling me little Korra. It is just symbolic in remembrance to my family and to my roots; it?s also a good way to distinguish my personal life from my stage life.

RS: With the last name Korban, I wonder are you from?
Korr-A:??I was born in Ukraine but I was brought to the States when I was three, so I don?t really consider myself?that much Ukrainian any longer.
