The expressive electronic workout comes ahead of an accomplished fourth album later in the year
Hayes Bradley is a composer, producer, and DJ who works across dance music, ambient, and film scoring as well as curating sound for key fashion brands. He has DJed at major events, including Insomniac’s Forever Midnight NYE Festival, as well as in Tokyo, Berlin, and New York. He formerly toured with Kaytranada as part of his American Dance Ghosts group and released his debut EP, ‘These Things Take Time’, back in 2017.
He has since released three albums, including the critically acclaimed ambient debut ‘1-9’ via Secular Sabbath Records, and two ethereal follow-ups, ‘Anywhere For Now’ & ‘Recommence (I/VII)’. Now he joins L.A. label Stratasonic for his latest musical adventure. This first single is a taster of an eclectic and adventurous forthcoming album, which pairs widescreen progressive, melodic broken beats with introspective songwriting and peak-time club euphoria.
Says the artist, “‘Total Call’ is personal chaos. Chaos, most people try to mask by acting normal. If you’re crying or fucked up or panicking in public, you try and cover it up. I think everyone should just lean into whatever they are feeling and care less about the people staring back. The drums and synth pulls are masked by a common guitar riff. But in the end, the guitar sound vanishes and you’re just left with who you truly are. Whatever that may be, so probably just be that.”
‘Total Call’ bursts open with gritty, raw guitar riffs that drive straight into thunderous breakbeats built for peak-time intensity. This visceral release of inner tension features sinewy synth lines twisting through the chaos, with a potent bassline that keeps the pressure high. It’s honest, unfiltered, and sure to electrify any set.
Hayes Bradley’s ‘Total Call’ is set to release on Stratasonic on August 8, 2025.
