Eli Brown’s Driving Debut Album ‘Panic Attack’ Is Out Now

Bristol-born techno heavyweight Eli Brown has officially unveiled his debut studio album, Panic Attack, out now via Insomniac Records. Arriving after two decades in electronic music, the 14-track record serves as both a personal milestone and a tribute to Brown’s sonic roots. Long before becoming one of contemporary techno’s most streamed names, Brown cut his teeth atop the UK drum and bass charts as Xample and as one half of Loadstar, before starting fresh with his current alias in 2016. Panic Attack weaves that entire history together, blending the jungle, drum and bass, and trance-tinged rave anthems of UK warehouse culture with the dark, driving techno he commands today.

“The ethos behind the album was to try and take the listener back to a time where you lost yourself in the rave,” Brown said of the release. “That carefree attitude and escapism where nothing else mattered on the dancefloor. I’ve always believed the dance floor is an escape. Panic Attack is about shutting out the noise, surrendering to the music, and finding freedom in the chaos.”

The album features collaborations with drum and bass mainstay Dimension, UK vocalist MC IRAH, and singer-songwriter BARBZ. Alongside previously released singles like ‘Electrify’, ‘It’s Like That’, ‘Damaged’, ‘Frequency’ (with Dimension), and ‘Badman Riddim’ (featuring IRAH), the LP balances peak-time club weapons with more introspective cuts.

If you’re looking for thumping, peak-time, groovy techno beats with notable vocals, Eli Brown’s Panic Attack is the album for you and a must listen.
