Bop returns with Hypnotics, a mesmerising four-track EP that pushes the boundaries of his immaculate sonic expertise. Known for his deep, melodic sound and genre-blending approach, Bop enlists the vocal talents of DRIIA and Doktor, alongside a collaboration with bass music specialist Chime.

‘Cravings’ sets the tone with lush melodies and deep atmospherics and a hypnotic vocal. Minimal yet powerful, this is some of Bop’s drum & bass work at its finest. The second track on the EP, ‘Siren Eyes’, sees DRIIA’s ethereal toplines intertwine with Doktor’s signature dancehall energy. DRIIA, a rising star in the electronic scene, has been named one of BBC Radio 1’s Future Stars for 2024, while Doktor’s powerhouse vocals have graced multiple collaborations with the likes of Chase & Status, Sigma, and Friction. 

‘Dormant’ brings a fresh twist with Leeds-based producer Chime who’s influence injects a unique blend of melody and weight, crafting an immersive soundscape through mind-boggling sound design. Closing the EP, ‘Fungification’ dives into Bop’s garage influences. Weighty and stepping, expect intricate rhythms, evolving textures and an absolute bouncer of a bassline.
