Hot on the heels of his mixtape I Don't Freak Out, released last January, English producer DARQ E FREAKER is back with ADHD, an instrumental EP set to drop on Big Dada. We first saw him alongside Danny Brown on the well-known track Blueberry (Pills & Cocaine), but also on productions for Tempa T, London Grammar, and D Double E. So, you've almost certainly heard FREAKER before. We know the Englishman has a certain affinity for contemporary hip-hop and grime, and his collaborations are proof of that. For ADHD, he explains that he tried to fuse rave music with instrumental grime/hip-hop, drops, basslines, and drum patterns. This project is close to his heart because it reminds him of his childhood, especially 2C-I, which perfectly exemplifies the mix of these different genres and the callbacks to his youth: frenetic synth noises, hyperactive percussion, 80s video game sounds, bells, and whistles. But each track is intense and hedonistic; one thing's for sure, it's not bedtime yet...
