French artist ALIAS has released a pulsing new collaborative single in the form of ‘EMPTY HEAD’. It’s an explorative track that mixes ultra-fuzzy bass lines into a hip-hop world, with the chaos of his production style taking things to a whole new level. For example, that tense, insistent percussive hit was created by piling up every broken cymbal he owns. The track is accompanied by a visual treat of a video that is truly bizarre. On the track’s collaborations, he says: “The first 8 bars I recorded really made me want to have Cadence Weapon featured on this track. Kroy and I worked on a few projects together before and I needed to have her unique darkness into the song.” His album, EMBRACE CHAOS, is due to be released on April 19th, 2024, via Simone Records. -Dan Peeke
