First emerging during the post-dubstep era with standout releases on Joy Orbison’s Doldrums and iconic Dutch imprint Rush Hour, Braiden carved a unique path as both DJ and producer through long-standing residencies on Rinse FM and NTS, where his boundary-pushing selections became essential listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe record channels the energy of the club and the scene he emerged from, blending freshly explored influences into a focused yet diverse body of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EP opens with its title track, an unruly and visceral cut that channels early grime’s skeletal power into a hypnotic techno landscape. Clattering claps, cascading strings and a guttural bassline drive it forward, shimmering with movement and wired with an unpredictable edge. \u003cem\u003eTouch The Sky\u003c\/em\u003e, featuring a vocal contribution from multidisciplinary artist KESH, follows as a meditative centrepiece — a weightless, emotional interlude hovering with restrained melancholy and awe. \u003cem\u003eX5x\u003c\/em\u003e ramps up the energy again, urgent, euphoric, and devastatingly effective, its acid-licked synth line and thunderous kicks recalling the vastness of late-night warehouse catharsis. \u003cem\u003eLagrangian Point\u003c\/em\u003e closes the EP on a different axis altogether; a time-dilating drone that strips away the percussion entirely while retaining the physicality and ethereal tone that runs through the EP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso a visual artist and photographer, Braiden’s finely tuned aesthetic runs through the record, with him self-designing and photographing the artwork printed on a full colour sleeve. \u003cem\u003eRaindance\u003c\/em\u003e arrives as a meticulously crafted statement: fierce and cinematic, a notable evolution from his earlier single-led releases, with additional mix engineering support from friends Joy Orbison and Objekt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Off Out","offers":[{"title":"12\" - Black","offer_id":53373225369931,"sku":"R3155-4147","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/bcde9f0a-c81b-4b1e-366a-ea82ffb3498b.jpg?v=1757682372"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/braiden.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
