Rohaan is making his return to HARD Recs with the highly-anticipated drum & bass heater “Musket,” alongside grime legend Flowdan.
Manchester-based producer Rohaan has been taking over the DnB scene with a constant stream of impressive releases. The new single follows up his previous outings with HARD Recs, “Something In The Green” and “Euphoric.” On the other hand, Flowdan is seeing his longtime career reaching new heights as his collaboration “Rumble” alongside Skrillex and Fred Again… has become a viral hit, raking in over 50 million streams on Spotify alone. “Musket” sees the iconic MC joining forces with one of England’s most promising young talents.
“Musket” embodies its name, acting as an absolute weapon. Rohaan crafts a masterful drum & bass backbone that’s perfectly fitted for Flowdan’s scene-stealing presence. Hi–pitched vocal bends provide a powerful contrast to the veteran MC’s distinct deep voice. Flowdan comes through guns blazing with a merciless flow and unforgiving bars centered around destroying any opposition. Rohaan matches the energy with intricate percussion, gritty synth warbles, devastating low-end, and exhilarating atmospherics. The beat bends around the vocals with ease, pulling back at just the right moments, and doubling down on the intensity for maximum impact. “Musket” is primed to be one of 2023’s hardest underground anthems.
On the new single, Rohaan shares how the track came into existence: “I started this track a year ago, and it was originally named ‘Daffodils.’ It’s taken many forms since then. I’ve played it in every set of mine in the UK, across Europe and America. I had no idea it would become what it is today. When I was first sent back the main verse, I lost my mind. That was it, track done! I can’t think of a better final version than this, with the man himself, Flowdan.”
UK-based producer Rohaan continues to be one the brightest rising stars in drum & bass. Known for a sound that charts a course from liquid to dark and heavy, he’s been included in the ‘Best Tracks of 2022’ by Mixmag, ‘Best Newcomer Artist 2022’ by Radaar Show, and earned a spot in UKF’s ‘Top 20 Artists’ and ‘Top 20 Albums Of The Year.’ He’s set for his biggest year to date with upcoming performances at HARD Summer, Electric Forest, Locus Festival (Tulum), and a headline show in his hometown, Manchester.
Flowdan is the definition of a UK legend. With over 20 years in the game, he is a grime pioneer whose style knows no bounds. He was featured in the BBC Documentary ‘The Story of Grime,’ was nominated for ‘Best Album’ at the Urban Music Awards, and is currently riding high on his viral track "Rumble" alongside Skrillex and Fred Again...
“Musket” simultaneously serves to illustrate why Rohaan is one of bass music’s most exciting artists to watch and cements Flowdan's status as a certified legend.
