Mark Wise Brings a Techno-Metal Fury on His New EP, Satisfaction
New Jersey DJ and producer Mark Wise cranks up the volume and the intensity on his new EP, Satisfaction, a release that pushes the boundaries of electronic music with a daring blend of techno grooves, metal riffs, and industrial grit. Known for his fusion of heavy music and pulsating beats, Wise has been a key figure in bridging the realms of electronic and rock, bringing an energy that resonates equally with fans of dance and metal.
The EP kicks off with “Satisfaction,” Wise’s bold reimagining of Benny Benassi’s iconic track. What begins as a nod to a classic evolves into a powerful, adrenaline-charged journey, with deep basslines, aggressive synths, and buzzsaw guitars that turn the dancefloor into a head-banging frenzy. Wise’s production here is sharp and refined, adding layers of raw energy that build and release, creating an unrelenting experience for listeners. This is a track made to exhaust the crowd in the best possible way, leaving no room for restraint as it blurs the lines between techno, metal, and industrial.
On “Dark Angels,” Wise collaborates with Peruvian industrial artist Danicide, injecting the EP with a brutal, metallic bite that harkens back to the grit of bands like KMFDM and Ministry. The track is anchored by haunting vocals, distorted guitars, and pummeling beats that create a wall of sound, sending the listener into a dark, ecstatic state. Danicide’s vocal work is unapologetically fierce, amplifying the EP’s intensity and adding a layer of depth that contrasts with Wise’s fast-paced, punchy production. It’s a collaboration that thrives on their shared vision of music that’s equal parts aggression and exhilaration.
Reflecting on Satisfaction, Wise aptly describes the EP as “absolutely mental,” and it’s easy to see why. The tracks are crafted to ignite dancefloors, packed with relentless energy and frenetic shifts in intensity that showcase Wise’s mastery over both techno and metal sensibilities. Each track is an invitation to let loose, to move with abandon, and to fully embrace the electrifying chaos of Wise’s sound.
For fans of high-energy electronic music with an edge, Satisfaction is a must-listen. Mark Wise has created an EP that celebrates the rowdy spirit of techno-metal, a genre-crossing experience that’s fresh, raw, and addictive. Whether you’re a raver, a metalhead, or somewhere in between, Wise’s latest offering promises satisfaction—and it delivers.
