Shockone relocated to London in 2012 to make his own mark in the spiritual home land of dance music, and what better way to do it than the genre bending, production epic that is вЂChaos Theory,вЂ™ a cinematic journey featuring the voice over work of Corey Burton. This was followed by the second single, вЂRelapseвЂ™, a dubstep track featuring Sam Nafie on vocals, as well as a blazing dance floor remix by Tantrum Desire. The single which would serve as the first sneak peak at his forthcoming debut album, вЂUniversusвЂ™. In mid-2011, ShockOne released вЂCrucify MeвЂ™, an epic drum & bass/dubstep anthem in which ShockOne also showed his versatility as a vocalist. The EP featured PhetstaвЂ™s dubstep remix of вЂTrue BelieverвЂ™ which was featured in PendulumвЂ™s 2010 Essential Mix on Radio 1, as well as the Dirtyphonics remix of вЂPolygonвЂ™ which was featured on Andy CвЂ™s вЂNightlife 5вЂ™ mix, as well as hitting #1 on the BBC 1Xtra charts. This was followed up by his highly anticipated вЂRe-Fix EPвЂ™, a collection of VIPвЂ™s and remixes of the massively successful вЂShockOne EPвЂ™.

Since the release of вЂThe ShockOne EPвЂ™ in 2009, which featured the chart topping вЂPolygonвЂ™, ShockOne has been one of the hottest names in the scene. It's not a masterpiece of any stretch, but it is a very impressive dramatic epic.Hailing from Perth, the epicentre of the Australasian drum and bass scene, ShockOne aka Karl Thomas is fast becoming one of bass musicвЂ™s major talents. Gangs of New York brings it 18 century New York to life and with masterful craftsmanship by Martin Scorsese. It brings 1800s century New York to life that it makes you wish you would never want to leave. Making even the most hideous of sights gorgeous to look at by the well handled cinematography. Everything from the costumes to set design are rich with detail. Other actors like Liam Neeson, John Reilly, and Jim Broadbent all make a strong presence in the film even if they're not screen as the leads. I did like the romance aspect of the film as it was a nice distraction from the other aspects, but not once did I buy the romance. Though DiCaprio does lack chemistry with Cameron Diaz. He carried the film well enough that he keeps you invested in what happens next. He was very capable of holding his against the very impressive Daniel Day-Lewis. Daniel Day-Lewis gets the Irish accent right with his savage and profane behavioral making what would otherwise be two dimensional character fully three dimensional with his portrayal of it. Daniel Day-Lewis is easily the best and gets every single bit about his role perfect. This epic wouldn't be complete with an outstanding cast and what a cast this film has. It contains romance, a complex narrative, dynamic characters, and so much that it's difficult not be immerse in such a film. Which results in one of the most satisfying viewing for an epic drama of this scale. It's a very complicated film to follow and to absorb every single detail thrown at you is no easy task either.

The plot is filled with interesting themes, characters, and exciting events that you become transported in this New York. Yet, I never found it boring even if nothing significant was happening to move the story forward. Because of this Gangs of New York does drag and at times stop for pointless moments. Alongside a revenge story, it also jumbles a romance which goes underdeveloped, the birth and grow of America, racial issues, social class issues, and much more. Gangs of New York does shows sign of being a masterpiece, but it is never focuses on telling its story in a straightforward manner. Gangs of New York revolves around Amsterdam Vallon who returns to New York City seeking revenge against Bill the Butcher, his father's killer. Under Martin Scorsese direction, Gangs of New York is able to handle it's dialogue driven film (nearly three hours long) with a rich eye for detail and powerhouse cast that brings 1800 century New York to life. Gangs of New York is one of those films that jumbles allot of ideas in it story which can results in a narrative mess.
