Two titans of melodic bass join forces with one of dance music's most commanding voices for a lovesick anthem on SLANDER's label, Heaven Sent.

SLANDER, San Holo and Julia Church have joined forces for a "Broken Hearted," a track as dazzling as it is devastating.

SLANDER and San Holo's contributions to melodic bass music certainly need no introduction, but for the first time ever the two powerhouses of the craft have collaborated, and they've brought an ascendant voice in Church along for ride.

The surging singer-songwriter, whose vocal work has lit up productions from John Summit, Oliver Heldens and Audien in recent memory, delivers one of her most impressive performances yet, distilling the quiet ache of being left behind. The production behind her is characterized by cascading synths, grounded by a cavernous kick-snare combo that lands with dubstep's signature authority.

Released via SLANDER's Heaven Sent imprint, "Broken Hearted" feels like a natural extension of the brand’s mission, where heartache meets high-impact sound design. Whereas the duo's production lands like sweeping shockwaves, Holo’s sound leans playful and spectral, two seemingly contrasting qualities that manage to meld seamlessly on "Broken Hearted."
