Destructo Signs to Insomniac Records, Continues Bid to Take Over Earth

Gary Richards aka Destructo has been at the center of electronic music's ascent to the mainstream over the past decade as the brains behind the undeniable HARD franchise. As he's shown time and time again, the guy's also at the peak of his game musically. Now he's about to take things to a whole different level.

Insomniac Records and Interscope have just announced the signature of Destructo and the impending release of "Party Up" featuring YG. Destructo becomes the second artist signed to the all-EDM imprint, following Arty. "Party Up" is an example of what Richards calls "G-House," a style that merges deep house grooves with rap flows. Check it out:

Destructo's "West Coast EP," said to be more hip-hop than dance music, is slated for release this summer. Phase one of a world tour is just about to commence. So, as we were saying. Hide your kids, hide your wife. Destructo is taking over the Earth.
