Hoax returns with his heavyweight "Sick Notes" EP
Loaded with six club-ready weapons, and standout collaborations from PVC & Javeon
Following the razor-sharp impact of ‘The Samurai,’ Hoax returns to Hospital Records with his heavyweight Sick Notes EP — landing 25th September.
Loaded with six club-ready weapons and standout collaborations from PVC and Javeon, the project cements Hoax’s status as a vital force in the new wave of UK drum & bass.
A no-frills sheller built for peak-time, ‘The Samurai’ distills Hoax’s signature into pure form: thundering subs, surgical breakwork, and relentless forward motion. More than just a lead single, it manifests Hoax stepping confidently into his own.
Then comes ‘Siger Rongob’ — a rowdy love letter to Bognor Regis and the legendary Hospitality Weekender. Aggressive, dub-soaked, and unapologetically unruly, it captures the unpredictable energy of a Butlin’s shutdown with precision-engineered mayhem.
‘Deep Inside’ flips the script, with a soft-focus intro that collapses into raw, heavyweight territory. It’s a classic about-face — melodic restraint giving way to certified sheller chaos.
‘Right Now’ cuts straight to the core — a lean, punchy roller that doubles down on Hoax’s sonic calling cards: crisp drumwork, snarling low-ends, and a commitment to low-end fuelled club music.
‘Ain’t No Other’ brings a steppy flex to the table, showcasing Hoax’s ability to swerve between the broad corners of D&B with ease and credibility.
Sealing the EP, ‘Your Eyes’ is pure D&B alchemy — stripped-back in structure but heavy in impact. With searing drumwork and the growling synths synonymous with Hoax’s sound, Javeon brings a deep, liquid-soulful touch, injecting emotional weight into the mix with his highly sought-after vocal finesse.
Fresh off the success of ‘What You Came Here For’ with Zitah and high-profile festival slots at Let It Roll, DNB Allstars, Boundary, and more, Hoax is carving out one of the most exciting character arcs in drum & bass.
