HIDD3N HAND’s album is a striking debut that finds its power in duality. Rooted in the rhythmic DNA of UK Garage while drenched in the expansive atmospheres of Wave, the album feels both grounded and dreamlike, equally suited for the dancefloor and late-night headphone sessions.

The UKG influence shows up in the shuffling percussion, swung snares, and basslines that give the record its momentum. But rather than relying on nostalgia, HIDD3N HAND stretches those grooves into widescreen landscapes — pads hang heavy in reverb, ghostly vocal fragments drift in and out, melodies bend and fracture. The result is a sound that pushes Garage forward rather than looking back.

Two tracks highlight this fusion best. “Middle of Night” is a masterclass in groove, its crisp percussion and vaporous synths creating the sensation of moving through a city after dark, carried by rhythm but suspended in atmosphere. By contrast, “Call Me” is the album’s emotional centerpiece — stripped back, spacious, and anchored by a haunting vocal motif that feels more like a memory than a lyric. Where one track moves your body, the other stills you, leaving you in reflection.

Across the tracklist, HIDD3N HAND shows remarkable restraint and vision. It’s not maximalist club music, nor is it purely ambient introspection. Instead, it thrives in the liminal space between. In doing so, HIDD3N HAND delivers a record that honors the past, resonates in the present, and gestures toward the future of electronic music.

HIDD3N HAND - Closer

The universe breathes through invisible patterns. Every silence contains a code, every thought unfolds a law older than time. Beyond perception, reason dissolves, revealing the silent geometry where everything becomes a single equation.

'Ingwaz' by @mordiomusic

______________________________________________________

Caw, buzz, shingle-shake
Amid the whispering streams,
The breath of distant voices
Close now again,
The dripping pulse comes up like a memory,
Heavy pulling the thrum into
My twitching mind's eye,
Giving way to a tumbled roll over stones of skipping drum and a bass shimmering down the sibalence.
Listen.
And you'll hear it ringing,
Like the call of a bird in an
Electric jungle.

- words by Kwasu Tembo
