DT772 – DONT BLINK

DONT BLINK burst onto the scene in Autumn 2018 with their debut EP on Nervous Records, seeing “COME ON UP” and “INSANE” garnering coveted top spots on the Housewerk playlist and quickly eclipsing 1 Million Spotify streams. Smartly following up the duo delivered a steady output of releases and doubled down on their studio focus, resulting in a breakthrough year of music in 2020.

They make their Repopulate Mars debut as they open 2022 with ‘BRING IT BACK’.

Having made a stir amongst Beatport’s Top 100 over the past 12 months following their huge single ‘VIBRATION’ on Sink Or Swim, LOW CEILING bosses DONT BLINK are a duo on a roll. Kicking off 2022 in style, early January sees a first appearance on Lee Foss’ Repopulate Mars as they drop their latest EP, ‘BRING IT BACK’.

Snarling basslines take front and centre amongst quirky samples and commanding kicks in ‘BRING IT BACK’ as this aggressive club-ready cut takes flight, while the squelching ‘A.C.I.D.’ continues the EP’s peak time theme as warped vocals go to work over sweeping sonics, crisp shakers and a rumbling low-ends.

Today, they join us on the podcast for the first time. Listen to it below, on Mixcloud or iTunes here.

Sum up this podcast in 10 words…
High-energetic Tech House with a bunch of unreleased IDs.

What’s your personal favourite track on it?
Right now it’s definitely A.C.I.D. that just came out as the B-Side on our latest release BRING IT BACK on Repopulate Mars. It’s crushing the Beatport charts at the moment and has been the peak-time weapon in all of our recent shows.

What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
Every single track has been dance-floor tested and is a certified club banger – plus this is the world premiere of 3 of our tracks that have never been played in a recorded set before: DANCE WITH ME, GIVE IT TO ME and the DONT BLINK Remix of ACRAZE’s mega hit Do It To It. 

Tell us about your latest EP? 

BRING IT BACK is the most epic way to start off the year! It’s our debut release on Repopulate Mars that has been in the making for over a year, and both tracks are the perfect representation of our sound.

What have you got coming up?
Our next release is THE TIME IS NOW that is coming up on Insomniac’s IN/ROTATION at the beginning of February, and we have an absolute monster of a release scheduled in March on our own label LOW CEILING that is called KEEP IT GOING. We’re also hard in the works for an extended summer tour this season, and can’t wait to bring our relentless grooves to a sound system near you!

And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
Keep groovin! We love to see you playing our music and hope to see you in person at your favorite venue later this year!
