Shawn Matthew’s new single ‘Work to the Beat’ is a thunderous statement of intent, a gritty, genre-bending track that crashes through bass house, dubstep, and trap to create an exhilarating high-energy journey through explosive beats and sampling.
Released via 20k Leagues Records, it marks a sharp departure from the melodic house sound he was once known for, trading polished builds and euphoric drops for something far more raw, loud, and unfiltered. From the very start, ‘Work to the Beat’ introduces slamming kicks and sharp vocal samples before dropiing into an explosive, deb-step flavoured drop. Layered with fuzzy distorted bass and biting drum machines create a dancable abrasive feel that feels as though it was built for dark clubs and dirt-covered festival grounds.
Intense, unpredictable, and vibrant, the track is a showcase of Matthew’s uncanny ability as a producer.
