SANDWELL DISTRICT HIDDEN

Electronic duo Sandwell District have released their new eight-minute single, ‘Hidden’. It’s a mind-bending piece of modern techno that brings together an impressive cinematic quality with a dance floor-ready intensity. Punchy synths overlap and shift in rhythm, while the huge four-to-the-floor bass drum keeps us grounded until the final fade. Sandwell District’s new album, End Beginnings, drops on March 28th, 2025, via The Point Of Departure. On their return, Karl O’Connor says: “I struck up a really close friendship with Mark Lanegan before he died, which was weird. Mark Lanegan - king of grunge, friend of Kurt Cobain - he told me to keep going, to revisit Sandwell District.” -Dan Peeke
