Nitepunk's New "Lawless" EP Is an Arsenal of Rave Weapons: Listen

Nitepunk is back with a new EP, the aptly-titled Lawless, a high-voltage dispatch from the rave’s front lines.

Opening with “No Manners,” slinking basslines grind through metallic trap rhythms with confrontational precision, delivering the kind of unfiltered energy that recalls the Georgian-born producer’s early underground roots while sounding sharper than ever. The same surgical approach carries into “fresh to death” (with dami), a sugar-rushed breakbeat anthem that modernizes 90s rave aesthetics.

Meanwhile, on “What I Need,” Nitepunk swaps brute force for sparkling clarity, weaving soul-drenched samples into track awash in synths without sacrificing the EP’s propulsive nature. It’s a rare moment of brightness before the project detonates in its closer, “SPILL,” a collaborative blowtorch with SOH SOH.

The volcanic energy of Nitepunk, who in 2023 was named by EDM.com as one of the year’s best music producers, is increasingly being felt on a global scale. Earlier this year, Skrillex opened his explosive Ultra Music Festival headline set with an unreleased Nitepunk collaboration, an unmistakable signal that the red-hot producer is standing squarely in the spotlight. He also performed as direct support in San Francisco for the legendary electronic music group The Prodigy.
