Rave X

"It's not dubstep. It's not jungle. It's not electro. It's everything, all at once! It's Pig Out!"

In the three years since releasing their acclaimed mini album 'Club Poems', Pig Out have completed a dozen tours of NZ; shows in New York, LA, London and Sydney; two Big Day Out sets; headlined the Midi festival on the French Riviera, played in a container ship in Barcelona harbour, and pulled off a four hour non-stop set in a Berlin techno club. With 5 b-net Award nominations, a Rough Trade "Recommended" stamp and Real Groove's #10 Best Album of the Year (2006) spot under their belt, Pig Out release their much anticipated new album...

'Rave X' - a wild mash up of genres that masterfully bridges the breakbeat and 4/4 divide and meets in the likes of recent popular alt radio singles "Revenge", "Big Mouth"and "Top Boy". Pig Out's development in writing and production is clear as 'Rave X' moves through brooding sub bass, euphoric electro, joyful piano and several genres of breakbeat, from UK garage to jungle, dubstep to futuristic drum 'n bass.

Mixed down and mastered at Auckland's Kog Studios with Chris Chetland (Baitercell & Schumacher) the album was ably assisted by Pig Out's close friend-turned-'executive producer' Dick 'Magik' Johnson. The title track is possibly the band's defining statement - an ecstatic '92 era rave riff over a massive electro beat, both throwback and future-shock. It summarises Pig Out's approach; bold, fun, boundary pushing and infectiously danceable.
