[divider]Nothing is Impossible: On the horizon for Pendulum & Destroid:[/divider]

We know KJ Sawka from his time in Pendulum, as well as Destroid. So despite our love for him as a solo artist, and our interest in his label and new venture with ill.Gates, we had to ask what was happening with his other projects. Destroid fans rejoice, because KJ said they’re “working on a new EP right now, and that’s gonna fuel [their] Fall tour. So it’s crunch time right now.” As for Pendulum, it’s such a huge production for Pendulum live to happen. In the meantime, we’ll just have to cross our fingers for a Pendulum live set around Seattle soon, but don’t lose hope.

“There’s no telling what the future holds—it’s not put to bed, though. Let’s just say that.” -KJ Sawka

It sounds like we have a lot to look forward in the near future with this unstoppable team. They’re trying to do as many ill.Methodology Workshops in as many cities as possible on their tour to share their knowledge with up and coming producers. We can only hope that learning how to build a track with substance from such revered musicians can bring us bassheads nothing but great music from new producers in the near future. We also have KJ’s Impossible Records to no doubt bring us plenty of new talent and new music. And should that not be enough for you, we have Destroid’s new EP to look forward to, as well! There is so much on the horizon for ill.Gates and KJ Sawka, and we can’t wait to watch it all unfold.
