DIS:TURBED drops his ‘Long Night’ EP on Identity Records

Percolating deep underground, DIS:TURBED has cooked up a killer batch of heavyweight beats and densely textured atmospheres with the ‘Long Night’ EP. Exploring new boundaries while simultaneously zeroing in on the tough sounds that define his work, these four tracks stand as a focused testament to the path Identity Records is set to carve this coming year.

‘Long Night’ opens the release, fusing deep soulful textures with a hardened stripped-back rhythm section. The throbbing pacing is absolutely relentless, creating a hypnotic aggression that employs overpowering pressure. With the crack of the snare cutting through the mix, it intertwines with the razor-sharp of the hat shuffle. Topping this off is the haunting vocals of MC Fedora, whose delivery emboldens the intense pull swirling about this tune.

‘Things You Say’ focuses on the primary elements of DnB: bass, drums, and crackling atmospheres. Taking advantage of the ample space, the sub dominates the landscape through sheer force of vibration. As the vocal refrain adds subtle increases in energy with a hypnotic ebb and flow, the snare bounces around your head with ferocious consistency. Colliding together, this is a tour de force that leaves an indelible mark on your subconscious.

The sinister vibe of ‘Eagle Eyed’ echoes throughout each element – most notably in the otherworldly bassline and searing layers of FX. These unify to evoke insects buzzing deep inside the skull, yet possess an underlying addictive motif that haunts you deep in the bone. Offsetting the chaotic growls with extremely precise rhythmic chops, DIS:TURBED has crafted a minimal weapon perfectly designed for pushing the very boundaries of sound.

Joining forces with Illament, ‘Checkmate’ unfolds with laser-guided precision: a meandering sub envelops the imagination, spinning it back into itself over and over – meanwhile, the warbling mutant pads weave a maddening tapestry that accelerates the intensity exponentially. It’s this enigmatic compositional movement that truly makes this a standout number;  very few tracks can make you feel like you’re standing still and being launched into space simultaneously.

Today we premiere ‘Checkmate’ which you can check out below. The ‘Long Night’ EP drops this Friday, 29th March, make sure you grab a copy from here!
