Denham Audio, piri and Tommy Villiers – Heavy Handed [HARD Recs]

Three of the UK's most in-demand artists, Denham Audio, piri and Tommy Villiers, are combining talents on their new collab for HARD Recs. "Heavy Handed" is a lofty, vocal-fueled drum & bass single oozing seduction.

Born and bred in London, Denham Audio has established himself as a conduit for UK club culture and modern rave music, flexing a versatile catalog littered with envelope-pushing breaks, jungle, acid house, techno, and a wide array of influences stemming from hip-hop, grime, and reggae. Hailing from Manchester, piri is a British singer/songwriter and producer who knows her way around an infectious hook, with her chart-topping instincts being stamped on drum & bass, UK garage, and a DIY hyperpop-infused discog. Tommy Villiers is an electronic music whiz based out of Essex, using his expertise as a producer, singer, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist to craft classic yet modern tracks spanning UKG, drum & bass, indie pop, and beyond.

The three phenoms are intertwining on their new single. "Heavy Handed" is a lush drum & bass offering anchored to piri's seductive vocal stylings, with her soft-to-the-touch delivery acting as a crash course in mindful, tender lovemaking. Warm, gleaming guitar licks swirl around dainty atmospherics, as the propulsive drum breaks push the number into a state of pleasure fueled by pulsating basslines and jungle-driven sine waves.
