Snowbeasts have expanded one of the sharpest tracks from their 2025 album ‘Dire Days’ into a full remix EP. “Abuse of Power” originally landed as a driving, EBM-fueled broadside against corruption and exploitation, with vocalist Elizabeth Virosa delivering its mantra in a deadpan, morose style that hits harder for its restraint. Heavy basslines, hard-hitting kicks, and ominous atmospheric textures made the original a dancefloor statement with genuine teeth. The remix package brings in three producers from the darker corners of the electronic music world, each pulling the track in a distinct direction.
Hexmaschine’s Kevin Brown pushes the BPM and injects a ’90s trance-techno edge. Caustic’s Matt Fanale goes groovy and acidic, rooting his version in classic body music territory. Sawtooth’s Lillian Martin leans into stomp-worthy industrial aesthetics, threading in political speech samples that expand the original’s themes outward. Together the four versions form a cohesive and genuinely varied package. The Providence duo, comprised of Galbraith and Virosa, have been building their hardware-driven, modular synth-powered sound since 2014 across more than 20 releases. ‘Dire Days’ earned comparisons to Front Line Assembly, Front 242, and ADULT.
