100% No Modern Talking, Knife Party's debut EP, dropped on 12 December 2011 as a free download on the duo's website, Facebook and SoundCloud, with Beatport and iTunes copies for anyone who insisted on paying. Knife Party was Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen of the Australian drum and bass outfit Pendulum, off on a side mission, and Swire produced this one himself.
The title is a producer's in-joke with a sneer on it: "Modern Talking" is a wavetable in Native Instruments' Massive synth, the source of the yapping, talking wobble that so many popular dubstep tracks leaned on, and Swire called it "the Comic Sans of dubstep sounds". The EP itself is all electro house snarl and low-end gut punch, "Internet Friends" included. It nearly came out different: "Back to the Z-List" was meant to be on it until the pair went off it and swapped in "Destroy Them with Lazers". Rage Valley came next.
