The two-track Interlude EP makes an impact while simultaneously introducing VLAD, a fresh new voice primed in the global house scene, to Hellbent’s faithful followers.
Before segueing into house and techno, VLAD dominated hip-hop and Afrobeat productions. He had a hand in 27 certified records across the US and UK, even earning a Grammy nomination for his work on Burna Boy’s I Told Them album. But now, VLAD’s trying his hand at captivating dancefloors. His two-track EP, Interlude, out on Cloonee’s Hellbent Records, is the perfect introduction to the tech-house side of music. The infectious basslines, driving rhythms, and crisp grooves create two peak-time tracks perfect for the clubs.
This EP as a whole reflects high-octane dancefloor intensity and true crowd connection. The title track has a contagious rhythm, while “POP” features a relentless energy that will keep your booty shaking and the earth quaking. They feature a monumental groove and refined production that propels the EP forward, crafting solid musical storytelling in just two songs. It’s clear that VLAD knows how to read a room, and he’s created these two tracks to encapsulate that feeling and experience all in one.
Interlude is a definitive introduction to VLAD as he turns the page to this new chapter of his career. His previous production experience clearly shines through, and the two-tracker succinctly details the direction his music is going while oozing confidence, focus, and tactical precision. He’s consistent and classic, yet he has an innate ability to keep things sounding fresh and new. VLAD is a welcome addition to the Hellbent roster, so keep your eyes peeled for more to come from his mind in the future.
Interlude is available to stream on Spotify and your preferred platform. Follow VLAD’s socials to keep up with his new project as he continues on this new path.
