MotorStorm Pacific Rift Sound Track Announced!

Soundtrack

For MotorStorm Pacific Rift we have sourced some of the most ear splitting, ground shaking tunes we could lay our hands on.  Here is a list of the tracks that feature, and some detailed information on some of our favorites. 

·         Alex Metric – In Your Machine
o        This guy is just gonna get bigger and bigger. MotorStorm festival organizers tip Alex Metric to be the new kid on the block when it comes to chops, beats and twist up mixes. Currently working on a debut album and has yet to explode onto the scene, but he will!
·         Amon Tobin – Trickstep (Pacific Rift Remix)
o        We got our hands on some new exclusive unreleased tracks from Amon. We loved them all, but Trickstep was top of the bill for MotorStorm. Amon revisited it for us to “MotorStormify” it a bit more. Exciting stuff!
·         Animal Alpha – Fire Fire Fire
o        With a voice like sand and glue, and a band that’s full of energy and drive, MotorStorm seemed a perfect fit for Animal Alpha’s Fire Fire Fire, especially since we were setting some of our races in and around a volcano!
·         Aphex Twin – Come To Daddy (Pappy Mix)
o        Classic Aphex. Dirty, Raucus and edgy. Some might say a little scary too, but that’s all the elements you get in a MotorStorm race anyway…
·         Black Daniel – Gimme What You Got (Alex Metric Remix)
o        Alex Metric puts his shines on Black Daniel. Awesome track!
·         Black Sun Empire & State Of Mind – Red Velvet VIP
·         Black Tide – Show Me The Way
o        These guys Rock, Hard! First heard a Metallica cover from them, and I was sold.  These guys had to appear at the MotorStorm Festival.
·         Bodysnatchers – Twist Up
·         Boys Noize – Lava Lava
·         Bullets and Octane – I Ain’t Your Savior
·         Cut In The Hill Gang – Soul To Waste (MotorStorm Edit)
o        An Exclusive edit of a fantastic track from Cut in the Hill Gang. These guys know how to do dirty Rhythm and Blues!
·         Clutch – Pure Rock Fury
·         David Bowie – Queen Bitch
·         Death From Above 1979 – Blood On Our Hands (Justice Remix)
·         Death From Above 1979 – Romantic Rights (Erol Alkins Re-Edit)
·         DJ Fresh – Chainsaw
·         Fatboy Slim - Everybody Needs A 303 (Plump DJs remix)
·         Goose – Black Glove (Bloody Beetroots Remix)
·         Hadouken! - Liquid Lives (Noisa instrumental mix)
·         The Exploders - Wolf Cub (Pacific Rift edit)
o        Another fantastic dirty blues track that simply had to be featured at the festival!
·         Hervé – Zombie Dance (MotorStorm Edit)
o        Another exclusive edit for MotorStorm festival goers to enjoy!
·         The Hives - No Pun Intended
·         In Flames -  Move Through Me
·         Leftfield - Phat Planet
·         Machine Head – Davidian
·         March – Influence
·         Megadeth  -  Sleepwalker
·         Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod
o        We wanted to include this in MotorStorm 1, but it works just as well in MotorStorm Pacific Rift! A great track and a classic sound for the MotorStorm Festival.
·         Nick Thayer - Mind Control
·         Nirvana – Swap Meet (Diplo MotorStorm remix)
o        This is our big hitter. First time ever, and it’s exclusive to the MotorStorm Festival. MotorStorm has in the past managed to sway Nirvana towards the festival. We had a fantastic reception to Breed featuring at the first festival, so we wanted to bring them back again, but this time with a difference. Hotter than hot cakes at the moment, Diplo was fired up to give it some remix treatment, and I think you’ll agree, this is Nirvana like you’ve never heard them before! Incidentally, its 20 years ago that Bleach was first released, and this is a fantastic opportunity to revisit the album and bring some of today’s hottest talent to the table to give it a squeeze. Great track, great remix, and a first!
·         Noisia - Groundhog (MotorStorm re-edit)
·         Parker - Western Soul featuring Rasco (Aphrodite Remix – MotorStorm Dub)
·         Pendulum  -  Tarantula (ft Fresh, $pyda & Tenor Fly)
o        MotorStorm wouldn’t be MotorStorm without some Pendulum. We brought the Aussie Drum and Bass crew back to the festival with a brilliant track, Tarantula.
·         The Planets – Slasher.
o        This hot new band from Manchester, England know how to party MotorStorm style, as long as you make sure you put gravy on their chips.
·         Primal Scream - Necro Hex Blues
·         The Qemists – Stompbox
o        We loved it as soon as we’d heard it. We snapped it up and immediately set to work cutting our E3 movie to this track. This one had the potential to “Stomp” its authority as the new MotorStorm Signature track. It would seem we weren’t the only ones to think this was a fantastic track!
·         The Qemists - Speed Freak (MotorStorm Remix)
o        The Qemists are a new breed of warrior on the Drum and Bass scene and MotorStorm Festival organizers love to seek out not only what’s hot right now, but what will be hot round the corner, and the Qemists certainly have a flame in their bellies right now that MotorStorm simply couldn’t overlook. When we asked the guys to let us bring Stompbox to the stage, they jumped at the chance. Not only that, they offered to knock up something exclusive for us too! As good as Stompbox was, we couldn’t very well say no, and boy what a job they did with this track. They took all the elements of a MotorStorm race, all the elements of a MotorStorm Theme, shoved it all down the barrel of a Shotgun, pulled the trigger and shot this track straight to the main stage! This track Stomps Hard!
·         Queens Of The Stone Age - Sick Sick Sick
o        Never a dull moment! These guys kick serious ass and a MotorStorm Festival simply wouldn’t be the same without them.
·         Saving Abel – New Tattoo
o        Proper Rock ‘n Roll. We love this track and we’re sure you will too! It has everything you need to drive faster than you should and more dangerously than you can imagine!
·         Saviours – Caverns Of Mind
·         Slipknot – Sulfur
o        As of writing this, this track remains unreleased. Though we’re pretty sure not for much longer as the Slipknot guys have nailed it once again.
·         Simian Mobile Disco – Parachute
o        SMD have taken the UK scene by storm. Another one the Festival could not overlook! Great track and again, as of writing, remains unreleased.
·         South Central – Golden Dawn
·         Supa Bajo - Lalula (instrumental)
o        The bass line on this one is outstandingly catchy. It alone ticks all the boxes for a MotorStorm race. What a track!
·         Ulterior  -  Weapons
o        A cross between Underworld and NiN. These guys rock hard in a tech kinda way. Another one to look out for.
·         The Whip – Trash
 
So, lunatics of the world, unite… The MotorStorm Festival is upon us once more, and promises to pump your ears full of Dirt, Petrol, Mud, Fire and Water…
