Nikko.Z's Dopamine White opens the summer season by welcoming Gibsom to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from France but now calling Canada home, Gibsom first emerged in 2020 with a deep melodic sound which found a home on Chrom Recordings and Hover Mind. Immediately touted as a newcomer to watch, Gibsom would continue to work on his craft, in turn developing a more progressive approach to production, a new found sound which quickly found a home on Modern Agenda, Polyptych and Uxoa Dutxa Elite, amongst others. Also an accomplished DJ, the Montreal resident has been a fixture of the city's nightlife in recent years, taking his impeccable taste and smooth programming skills to the many of its trendiest venues in Birra & Basta and Le Salon Rouge. With 2025 already yielding a well-received return to Polyptych's Noir division, Gibsom now adds Dopamine White to his resume with ‘Mad Hatter'.

Spread across two tracks it is the title selection which gets the EP underway. Its deep drive is anchored by strong kick drums, wispy atmospherics and percussive flashes, tastefully building to a wild-eyed intensity of astral effects and soaring synth flares. With an emotive spirit, Gibsom pulls from his expansive repertoire as the main break takes shape, infusing shimmering synths, hopeful pads and luminous tones with a gentle vortex of noise; resulting in what is sure to be a memorable dancefloor moment, as the beats drop for a resounding finale.

The companion piece ‘Purple Cheshire' follows and is an apt barometer of where Gibsom's headspace is at, as he lets punchy beats lay the foundation for flickering percussion, flashing synth mutations and sweeping effects to create a darker monochrome. Energies shift and tension rises, bringing depth and space across a dramatic break, before getting washed away in waves of noise for a thrilling conclusion that's perfectly dialled for peaktime play.

*In loving memory of Mitch.
Your words shaped our sound, and your spirit will always be part of it.*
