: Video: “Wildfire (Reign Of Fire Mix)” featured on Brainkiller Presents Music From The Jilted Generation... http://t.co/k6D3k3AeO8

“I will go on with a track by a name that has only been featured here once before, the USA based Neorev who just recently uploaded this new version of his track “Wildfire” on his Soundcloud page. Call it a VIP version, a rework, an alternative mix, all of these terms apply and are all correct. Neorev himself decided to call it “Reign Of Fire” mix and I can perfectly understand why as well having listened to the original mix as well. A much harder, darker and energized version and definitely an improved one as well in my opinion, in which Neorev took a dubstep track and tranformed it into a filthy breakstep/drum & bass baby monster. Rough and noisy I personally quite enjoyed this new version of “Wildfire” and I certainly hope you will enjoy it too! So, here it comes, check it out! http://www.soundcloud.com/neorev/neorev-wildfire-nr2013mix”

“Neorev’s Michael Matteo is one tireless individual. Now on the fourth EP generated from his Children of the Bomb franchise, Matteo delivers yet another superb collection of remixes, reboots and brand new tracks guaranteed to drive all cyber knights out of their coffins and into the glowing neon sprawl. When it comes to electronic dance music, Neorev is really at the top of his game, begging the question, why is he not the hottest producer since Diplo assigned with the task of crafting Top 40 hits to be used in mega-corporate commercials? Who cares? His music stands on its own and is miles ahead of the pop drivel pumped on the radio these days, so jack-in to Neorev’s virtual reality where we all celebrate being children of the bomb.”

“Next i have some fresh blood coming on and let me tell you that this one is really rocking and really damn tasty fresh blood and a great freebie too from the NYC based Neorev! Electro indie punk rock kind of feel to it, with the great vocals by It Was July really giving the track a really nice character. I loved it since the very first second i pressed play and i have listened to it a few times since then so i had to post this one and hopefully you will all like it as much as i did. The track is also part of Neorev‘s “Wildfire EP“, which you can get as a free EP on the artist’s bandcamp page. Certainly a track worth checking out and grabbing and personally i will be keeping an eye and ear peeled on Neorev hoping more like this follow soon. I would suggest you do the same too!”

— Zak Electrohead Kilmister , Metalectro

“The first question that comes to mind when listening to a new Neorev release is, “How in the hell does Michael Matteo keep getting better?” With his “Wildfire” EP, he not only brings us some stellar originals, but also provides enough worthy remixes and collaborations to present an album’s worth of his best material to date. It’s rare to find an artist that evolves so beautifully as Neorev has over the past few years. At this point, he should be producing top-ten hits for A-list pop-stars, but the music industry, as usual, is looking backward, not forward. Neorev is the future, and I like where it’s headed.”

— Chuck Foster, The Big Takeover [read the full review]

“Once again, Neorev returns with music so astonishingly excellent that one truly has to wonder why Michael Matteo isn’t one of the top electronic producers of the moment. Like the “Brooklyn Stomp” EP, this is an album’s worth of remixes, reworkings and exclusive originals, though where “Brooklyn Stomp” was in the present moment with Children of the Bomb, “Let’s Get Down” points the way of the future for the electronic artist. So much more than a mere vehicle to promote a single, this EP deserves the attention and respect of a full-length release. Longtime fans will revel in the electronic ecstasy of Matteo’s futuristic songcraft, though, if you’re new to the Neorev dimension, this is an excellent place to begin your journey. Respect the boom... ”

“Michael Matteo a.k.a NEOREV has been blazing a trail all summer. We originally booked him in the spring for the MARTYPARTY show at Drom and we were so impressed we brought him back for the 4th of July party we threw in Brooklyn, yet again he delivered the goods and has been doing the same all over the city. His debut album Children Of The Bomb dropped at the end of 2011 with two associated e.p’s this year so far and a third planned for the Fall. Home grown bass music from the state of New York and most certainly worth checking out. ”

— Jody `Hellfire Machina' Shires, Bass Fueled Mischief /// NYC Spotlight

“Hot on the heels of Neorev’s powerful sophomore effort, Children of the Bomb, Michael Matteo releases an EP that features some of his strongest songs to date. With this collection of tracks, Neorev proves to be a solid force in underground electronic music. His future looks extremely bright.”

— Chuck Foster, The Big Takeover [read the full review]

“After a year and a half or so, Neorev, aka Long Island’s Michael Matteo, has returned with a powerhouse sophomore effort designed to give a swift kick to the genitals of electronic dance music. Where Neorev’s first album, Lines & Shapes, was an engaging, though upbeat, effort aimed at the dance floor, Children of the Bomb is a much darker affair that focuses on the sinister sonics of dubstep. Here, Matteo excels; his fuzzy, wobbling bass attacks with an ominous vengeance that leaves the listener feeling a bit uneasy. This isn’t your pop radio dubstep, this is the sound of empty city streets at night, where rats run rampant and the silhouettes in the shadows are either muggers out to get you or twisted figments of your imagination. These are the dirty, grimy, sleazy sounds of cyberpunk incarnate. Children of the Bomb is a bona fide electronic classic composed with integrity and produced without pretension. It’s a lead-fisted punch in the face to bland electronica everywhere. ”

— Chuck Foster, The Big Takeover [read the full review]

“Long Island’s Neorev, aka Michael Matteo, embodies the epitome of what electronic dance music should be, i.e., music first and foremost, not just endless, insidious thumping. The fact is, the tracks on Lines & Shapes are actual songs with structure and changes, not just squibbles and squeaks over a 4/4 bass drum. In a style as bland as modern dance music, it’s quite refreshing to hear a collection of songs with some thought behind them. EDM doesn’t need to be boring, it just tends to be that way. We need more Neorevs to teach us otherwise. ”

— Chuck Foster, The Big Takeover [read the full review]

“Oh No! It's the one man music machine come to get yer rump a-shakin' and house a-quaking. Dropping grooving techno/hip hop breakbeats and chantable samples you'll always remember. He is ready to take on any 3 or 4 man group effortlessly. ”

— Bep Kororoti, Second Flight Studio

Jay Ferrigno...first discovered the art of poi in October 2010, starting with nothing but glowsticks and shoelaces, simply to have some fun flowing with something glowing at local parties on weekends..seeking any sort of electronic music he can wrap his mind around. After many months of repetitive wraps and that same old glow, he desired something greater...In October 2011 Jay made it his goal to practice on a daily basis with the intention of eventually performing Fire Poi at events. With the help of Tara Tiger, Jay performed at his first event 'Jungle Bungle' in February 2012. Since then Jay has already performed at several events and is constantly seeking new opportunities to perform at events.

Questions

Ask Neorev anything...

Q: how do you make such banging tracks?

A: Hahaha... hmmm tough question. When I write, I imagine what it would sound like to bang it live on a system. And listening to lots of music, all styles. Keeping up with everything that's new. Of course, I have my favorite artists over the years. But I'm always searching and listening to everything that I can get my hands on. But, of course, I gotta give props to the tools: Ableton Live, Native Instruments, Akai, Korg, Izotope Ozone (this is a MUST!), and last, but no least, my magical fingers and brainz.
