At the start of the month, LA-based electronic artist Character released his debut EP via London label Hard Up. The six-track EP traverses a wide range of sounds and moods and is “driven by a frenzied, insulated energy.” Instrumental hip-hop beats sit alongside industrial-tinged textures, topped off with thick, ambient soundscapes. Pulled from the EP is “Infidel,” a slamming cut driven by tightly wound drum sequences, otherworldly samples and synth work, and a wall-shaking bassline. You can grab “Infidel” for free below, with the limited run vinyl available here. The digital release drops on July 6 and can be preordered here.
