Friction, has unveiled his brand-new album, the dynamic 12-track production ‘Connections’ which is out now. The Brighton-born DJ, who has cemented a reputation as one of the most adept artists in the scene, laces the release with a wide range of eclectic records, including the ferocious ‘Ultrafunk’, a rippling dnb sizzler with Friction’s long-time friend-turned-collaborator, Metrik. Displaying his diversity across the album, Friction teams up with acclaimed vocalist JP Cooper on ‘Dancing’, one of the few tracks to have already been released as a single, before launching into the more high-tempo nature of ‘Killing Me’ with Rothwell.

A true juggernaut of the drum & bass world, the British producer’s remix credits include a wealth of star-studded names, including Wretch 32, Childish Gambino, Example, Maverick Sabre and Feed Me. It also features further collaborations with the likes of Jem Cooke – whose silky vocals lace ‘Commotion’ – as well as Riko Dan and Tantrum Desire on ‘Stinker’, the album is released on Friction’s very own label, Elevate Records.
