Halloween is creeping up on us. Free candy, stimulating costumes and wicked parties take priority on the evening of the 31st of October. In celebration of this monumental day Raveology is going to list our favourite hair-raising tracks. So take notes, put these in your party playlist for the weekend or get ready to blast these in your sets this weekend. Here’s my treat to you.

5. Aero Chord – ‘Saiko’

The first entry in the list draws inspiration from Knife Party’s legendary production ‘Internet Friends’. Now why isn’t that track on this list? Well ‘Saiko’ conveys a lot more violent approach to a similar scenario. Whilst a crazy girlfriend may be the scariest thing to some, she won’t kill you, maybe just drive you insane but you’ll still be alive. The woman in ‘Saiko” wants to straight up murder you. Push this terrifying story with a grindy trap drop that Aero Chord is known for and you have one disturbing tune.

4. Botnek – ‘Grindhouse’

Botnek released ‘Grindhouse’ last year as the anthem for Freaknight 2014, which I was luckily in attendance for. Sadly, Botnek was set to perform on the second day which ended up being cancelled. On the bright side I did get to hear this track at the event curtesy of Dyro. The production sounds exactly like its title. Grinding chainsaw rises mixed with disturbing moans and capped off with a yelling sample that will truly give you goosebumps. The drop feels like you are apart of a monster movie and its glorious. This in an underrated track that is greasy enough to make the animalistic side of you smile.

3. Virtual Riot – ‘Haunted’

This song has lingered on my playlists for years now. Even before I really became passionate about the electronic scene. The intro is eerie and will make any fans of ‘The Walking Dead’ or “Day of the Dead’ giddy. The scream of the victim leads into an energetic drop. Creating a bouncy dubstep vibe brought together with a sinister melody. ‘Haunted’ is one of Virtual Riots best works and I love it.

2. Knife Party – ‘EDM Death Machine’

Knife Party, influenced a track on this list so I found it obligatory to put this horror track on it. Killer robots may not be the scariest of scenarios at this point in time. But hey, if a T-1000 from Terminator was hunting you down, you would definitely shit bricks. Though I’d feel tingles of excitement knowing Arnold will be the end of me. Anyway… This track contains digital samples that set the robot apocalypse mood, and builds up to a heavy glitchy drop that still holds up to todays standards. Put this in your set this weekend, the festival will be forever in your debt.

1.Yellow Claw, GRX & Cesqueaux – ‘Psycho’

Yellow Claw and Cesqueaux team up with kid Martin Garrix. Yes, for those who don’t know GRX is Martin Garrix’s other moniker where he releases music that doesn’t fir in with his brand. This track is eerie right from the beginning with the vocals of young girls and we all know from classic horror films is that little girls are creepy. This eventually leads to the heavy drop containing the signature slasher ‘Psycho’ theme. Its a hauntingly beautiful ode to the slashers of old and its one enormous track. Play it in a more intimate setting, the deep baseline will cause riots.
