King of the Beats, Plump DJs, Krafty Kuts and Freestylers – Nighthawk [Speaker Freaker]

King of the Beats—the mighty trifecta made up of dancefloor stalwarts Plump DJs, Krafty Kuts and Freestylers—are releasing the inaugural single for Insomniac's newly conceived label Speaker Freaker. "Nighthawk" is a masterfully crafted breakbeats collab, made at the hands of three of the finest to ever do it.

Insomniac is launching its latest label endeavor, Speaker Freaker, a new imprint staying true to the rave roots of the acclaimed electronic music promoter. Focusing on influential sounds from the '90s while championing a forward-thinking ethos, it strives to showcase the biggest and baddest names existing in the breakbeat, hardcore, and underground realm.

Stepping up with the label's inaugural release is the almighty trifecta King of the Beats, composed of breakbeat pioneers and legendary artists each in their own right: Krafty Kuts, Plump DJs, and Freestylers. "Nighthawk" is a crowd-pleasing slab of breaks, with futuristic synth chords swooping in amid choppy drums, warbling melodic textures and intoxicating vocal loops before erupting into a flurry of growling, brain-twisting low-end.

Honoring a legacy more than 30 years in the making, Speaker Freaker is a label hardwired into the heart of the rave scene. Established by world-renowned party promoter Insomniac in 2025, the imprint is intrinsically linked to underground sounds that hum to the same frequency from the days of map points, all-night warehouse parties, and off-the-grid gatherings in the desert. It’s a hub for breakbeats, jungle, hardcore, gabber, techno, and rarefied beats in all their timeless glory. But don’t call it a history lesson. While they may roll out the welcome mat to seminal names in the scene, the crew stays just as true to the past as they do the future—focused on trainspotting tracks and projects that are next on-deck. Transcending both genres and generations with enough energy to break the sound barrier, Speaker Freaker is here to shake subwoofers and rattle bass bins like no other.
