Jøsh returns with Set Me Free, a deep and driving house track that blends the moody intensity of bass music with the emotional clarity of melodic house. It’s a confident evolution of the sound that brought local buzz with his Dead Boys remix, and it shows a producer not afraid to push his sonic boundaries.

From the outset, Set Me Free builds a dark, immersive atmosphere, layering pulsating low-end, crisp percussion, and haunting vocal loops that echo like a call from another realm. The beat is relentless but never overcrowded, letting the space between the elements do just as much work as the bass itself.

You can hear the Meduza and Anyma influences in the structure, those cinematic rises and drops, the tension and release, but Jøsh adds his own grit. There’s a weight to the production that gives the track real presence, and when the drop hits, it doesn’t just move a dance floor, it hits the chest.

The vocal is used more like an instrument than a lead, fragmented and looped to hypnotic effect. It’s the perfect emotional counterpoint to the mechanical precision of the beat, suggesting freedom, longing, and movement without ever spelling it out.

Released independently through his own OZØNE RCRDS, Set Me Free is more than just a club-ready banger, it’s a mission statement from an artist coming into his own. Bold, polished, and atmospheric, it’s a strong first release of the year, and one that demands a loud listen.
