DIS:TURBED drops ‘V23 / Fracture’ on his Identity Records imprint

The raw, addictive energy of the darker side of Drum & Bass is undeniable, and few embody it better than DIS:TURBED. As the driving force behind Identity Records, his latest release, ‘V23 / Fracture’, showcases the power of a stripped-back approach. This EP masterfully balances emotional depth with relentless energy, ensuring its impact on the dancefloor is nothing short of devastating.

‘V23’ opens with sinister waves of sound that set the tone for the EP’s immersive depths. DIS:TURBED’s signature precision drums, tough yet refined, are packed with intricate textures. They maintain a rolling energy that leaves space for eerie atmospheres and hazy vocal elements to shine. The result is a track that builds tension expertly, making it an ideal opener for any heavyweight set.

On the flip side, ‘Fracture’ is a standout collaboration featuring Swept, GZY, and DIS:TURBED. Together, they deliver a track that’s equal parts chaos and harmony. A sub-heavy bassline drives the track forward, overwhelming the senses with its intensity. Warbling layers of noise and a satisfyingly crunchy snare create a raw, industrial edge. Perfectly capturing the dark, warehouse energy craved by Drum & Bass enthusiasts, ‘Fracture’ is an essential tune for anyone serious about the underground sound.

This release cements DIS:TURBED’s status as a force to be reckoned with, both as an artist and a label head. Whether you’re drawn to its cavernous atmospheres or its unapologetically gritty energy, ‘V23 / Fracture’ is a must-have.
