Following on from releases on NYX & DISPATCH, support from UKF and ENEI on BBC Radio 1, we are very proud to bring hotly-tipped DIZRUPT into the
OBSOLETE MEDIUM fold with some minimal rollers with a heavy emphasis on groove and bounce.

🗣️ "Say What started by making the kick drum from scratch. After that, the drum groove came together really smoothly. Then I worked on the bassline — this one was a bit tricky and took some time to get right. After designing the sounds in Serum and using resampling and stretching, the track really started to come together. I then recorded a vocal speech and added some congas and bongos.
Tidal Dread comes from resampling Say What, but I took it into a full roller direction with textures, dark synth stabs, melodic elements, and gritty basslines. I also took some inspiration from OM releases.
Since Rockwell started asking for some tunes, I went all in with full dedication to achieve what I wanted and what the label was looking for — two dark jump up/roller tracks with deep sounds.”
