Sabotage (Magna Bootleg)

Very little is known about Philadelphia based DJ/ Producer Magna with the exception of his killer EP earlier this year, ‘Geisha’. A debut so impressive it immediately got the nod from heavyweight producers such as Skrillex, Madeon, A-Trak, Skream and Benga etc.. On the back of this accolade he’s now giving a little taster of just what he’s capable of with his own take on the Beastie Boy’s seminal track ‘Sabotage’, available as a free download from 23rd September.

It’s immediately clear that Magna knows what he’s doing. Whilst not losing the aggressive call-to-arms of the original he’s brought it kicking and screaming into 2014, adding a cacophony of bass heavy beats and synth-laden bars over the unmistakable guitar riff and vocals that have made ‘Sabotage’ the huge track it is today. Complete with head-jarring drops, Magna’s re-fix is set to destroy dance floors everywhere.

Despite being shrouded in secrecy, based on his releases and volume of Soundcloud plays alone ‘Magna’ is clearly whetting the appetite of clubbers everywhere eager to hear more from the producer, and if his take on ‘Sabotage’ is anything to go by they’re not going to be disappointed.
