Decibel Place arrives on Dorbachov’s Scrap & Delete with the ‘Swarm’ EP landing on 22nd May 2026, coming with a remix from Belgium’s Steve Redhead. Known for navigating the darker, more experimental edges of the genre while maintaining driving, floor-focused energy, the Liverpool-based Decibel Place has previously delivered on labels including Materialised, Transition, MASS, and Khazad Records. As a DJ, he continues to earn attention with his tightly constructed sets across the hardgroove circuit, a sensibility carried through this latest body of work.
The EP opens with the title track ‘Swarm’, setting the tone through immersive, tension-building arrangements. Undulating sound design and tightly interlocked rhythms draw the listener into a dense, atmospheric space, rich in detail and forward motion. Steve Redhead steps in on remix duties, reworking ‘Swarm’ into a stripped-back, percussive cut defined by clarity and control, where subtle shifts in rhythm and texture drive a deeper, hypnotic propulsion.
‘Infection’ follows with a shift into more industrial territory, introducing broken rhythms and raw, mechanical textures that sharply punctuate the groove. Closing track ‘Smoking Kills’ leans fully into hardgroove territory, with driving drums and visceral energy bringing the EP to a powerful, club-ready finish.
Decibel Place’s ‘Swarm EP’ comes via digital and vinyl on Scrap & Delete on 22nd May 2026.
