The single “Ready Or Not,” by newcomer Roc Dubloc and singer/songwriter Gid Sedgwick, is Protocol Recordings’ first release of 2022.
Both Israeli artist Dubloc and UK-based Sedgwick make their debuts on Nicky Romero’s label with the track, and the two create a unique sonic experience with a combination of driving electro/progressive and retrowave influences. With an opening of haunting vocal riffs and a bassline that builds steadily into a drop that feels both dark and danceable, Sedgwick’s voice lends a soulful element that takes the track to the next level, making this a strong start for Nicky Romero’s imprint, whether you are “Ready Or Not” for it.
Protocol Recordings is a leading imprint for innovative electronic dance music, founded by Nicky Romero in 2012.
