The drums are rolling and the basslines are dropping as Andromedik, Belgium’s bright young drum & bass phenomenon, unleashes his explosive new ‘Rise‘ EP upon the world today. At just 25 years old, the Antwerp native has skyrocketed from local talent to international force, bringing his meticulously crafted yet raucously energetic sound to dancefloors from Australia to Brazil.
With ‘Rise,’ Andromedik firms his ascent, delivering a 6-track barrage of anthemic, genre-pushing works that epitomize his distinct fusion of electronically charged pop and the purest of drum & bass fury. From the throbbing grooves of the titular “Rise” to the jagged synths and rapid-fire breaks on “Black Code,” each track radiates the fresh, boundary-defying ethos that’s made Andromedik one of the scene’s most thrilling new voices.
The EP’s radiant centerpiece, however, is the inescapably infectious “Stay.” An earworm of the highest order, the track blends Andromedik’s trademark, quad-thumping basslines with uplifting pop refrains and ethereal vocal samples, perfectly encapsulating his uncanny ability to merge raw dancefloor power with melodic, anthemic brilliance.
While the six tracks comprising ‘Rise‘ provide a blistering artistic statement, they merely hint at the sheer force Andromedik has become in the live arena. On the heels of last year’s landmark main stage performance at the legendary Tomorrowland festival, the producer kicks off an ambitious run with two sold-out “Andromedik Invites” shows in his Antwerp hometown tonight and tomorrow, featuring a fully re-envisioned audiovisual experience.
From there, the whirlwind continues as Andromedik will helm his very own stage at Tomorrowland 2024 before crisscrossing the continent this summer for a relentless run of premier festival appearances everywhere from Poland’s Audioriver to Hungary’s Bass Paradise. At each stop, he’ll undoubtedly convert new legions of believers with the mind-bending mixtures of subwoofer-shredding grit and majestic splendor that make up ‘Rise.’
