A monumental year for Electronic Dance Music (EDM), 2013 saw artists like Martin Garrix and Disclosure zoom up the charts, and reclusive robots, Daft Punk, take home five Grammys for Random Access Memories. But, this is a new year.
Enter Sterling Pike and Adam LaRossa.
Pike and LaRossa are the friends and Atlanta natives behind Pyramid Scheme, the electronic dance duo that is anything but a scam. Evidenced by tracks like Gotcha and Vladimir Putin, Pyramid Scheme creates an impressively high-energy, Big Room House sound that leaves listeners wanting much, much more. With a forthcoming EP, a soon-to-be-released remix of Future’s Move That Dope and loads of talent, the dynamic duo is setting itself up to take over the club scene.
I’m kind of lukewarm when it comes to Pyramid Scheme. I wasn’t very impressed with their remix of Future’s “Move That Dope”. There was never a hook or beat I could get into and start moving to. The lyrics didn’t compliment the music either and everything felt too detached. Instead of the music working together and making the end result even better the music felt separated and edgy. Nothing went well together and seemed a little forced at times. There were a couple spots that I liked but overall I wouldn’t come back to this remix. They’ve got a lot of potential; they need to work on what they want their sound to be and make sure it all works well together.

One thing I will mention that April didn’t is that the instrumentals. If you just listen to the instruments, I do like the rhythm and beat. I’d like to hear something else by them to compare later. – Richard
