South London grime/hip hop producer Darq E Freaker has been around: he's produced some bona fide anthems for Tempa T (“Next Hype”) and Danny Brown (“Blueberry”), and earlier this year he released the #DontFreakOut mixtape featuring collaborations with MCs like D Double E, Maxsta, and Scrufizzer. But his new EP, ADHD, is an entirely instrumental experience. Each of its tracks were designed for maximum rave impact, all hypercolour synths and booming bass drums.

“ADHD is an imagined experience based around incidences of reaction, both artificial and natural,” Darq E Freaker tells Dazed, “Amongst other things, this is a trip of recent sonic exploration into realms of nostalgia. This is the first time I’ve had to extensively speak about a project. At times, discussions have been overwhelming for me as I am the oxymoron of an extrovert introvert. I’d like to think that my musical presence is felt before my words. That said, I’m excited to see reactions to this project.”
