BLOCKLAB makes a commanding debut on Infernal Sounds with the Friendly Fire EP, unleashing their full production arsenal in a heavyweight, gritty, and refined package.

With previous releases on respected label White Peach, this move to Infernal Sounds feels like a natural and formidable next step in their upward trajectory.

The title track and collaboration with Thematic, 'Friendly Fire', throws you straight into the heat of conflict-blending raw intensity with anguish through a bass-conjuring mainframe and razor-sharp, tech-driven mid-range tones.

'Phuketsk' follows as the second cut on the EP, delivering a hard-hitting step and relentless stomp that highlights BLOCKLAB's razor-sharp production finesse and unyielding energy.

'Lonely Toy' takes a more spacious approach, layering toy box tones and rich atmospherics to build a whimsical yet haunting soundscape. As the track unfolds, it lunges into a forward-rolling wave of euphoria-only to pivot on the second drop, revealing a more subdued and shadowy dimension that demands full attention.

'Panic Attack' launches you headfirst into a frenzy of bass punches and sparring mid-range chops, delivering a chaotic yet controlled storm of sound. It's another example of BLOCKLAB's signature SFX evolution and precise progression, keeping the pressure high from start to finish.

'Dead Moon' closes out the EP with a stripped-back, hi-hat-snapping rhythm and undeniable swagger. It's a minimal yet confident finale that lets the groove breathe, ending the project on a cool and composed note.

The Friendly Fire EP is a triumph-another sterling addition to the Infernal Sounds catalog. Packed with weight, precision, and versatility, it's a release built to do serious damage on dance floors far and wide.
