NYC’s Control Freak has exploded onto the scene with an aggressive and inventive sound traversing trap, dubstep, drum & bass, and wave.

The producer makes his return to NGHTMRE and SLANDER’s Gud Vibrations with his first single on the label. “WE RUN THIS” is the artist’s mantra and puts his confident attitude and immense talent on full display. The track marks Control Freak’s follow-up release on the label, with his previous remix of SLANDER and William Black’s “Back To U” serving as his debut.

A lilting 8-bit motif leads the mesmerizing introduction. The calm, inviting aura doesn’t last long as the melody morphs into a snaking hook with powerful percussion increasing the intensity. Stray shell casings and gunshot samples bleed into the track’s anthemic namesake vocals. Massive synths, choppy drums, chirping textures, and barking bottom-end collide within the drops for an energetic explosion of trap-backed perfection. Possessed by a nasty, swinging groove, “WE RUN THIS” refuses to stay in one place, shapeshifting several times over. Each drop switches the sound with fresh flourishes that range from bone-chilling screams to sci-fi synths and screeching sound design. Heavy-hitting, dynamic, and unforgettable, Control Freak’s latest is new-age trap perfection.

Hailing from New York City, Control Freak is a star in the bass scene, whose confidence and swagger bleeds through his music. At just 21 years of age, he’s already performed at some of the world’s biggest stages while garnering support from RL Grime, Excision, Porter Robinson, Dillon Francis, and the Chainsmokers. Add in press support from EDM.com, EDM Identity, Moon Lvnding, EKM, and Prelude Press, and it’s clear that Control Freak is one of the industry’s most promising talents.

A true embodiment of its creator, “WE RUN THIS” is a statement-making standout that proves Control Freak is ready to completely dominate the bass scene more than ever before.

Control Freak’s new single “WE RUN THIS” is available everywhere via Gud Vibrations.
