‘The Death of Old Sound’ EP by Drelio delivers a heavy new chapter on Altius Sounds

Altius Sounds is stepping straight into the smoky, low-lit corners of the underground with the arrival of ‘The Death of Old Sound’ EP by Drelio, a release built for basements, rooftops, and any warehouse brave enough to handle real pressure. This one hits hard from the jump. Four tracks, zero hesitation, and a whole load of that shadow-rolling energy that has pushed Drelio’s name across the map. ‘The Death of Old Sound’ EP is not here to whisper; it is here to take your chest apart.

The Seville-based producer has been steadily carving out his place in the Drum & Bass ecosystem, but this project feels like the moment the spotlight finds him properly. After more than 40 releases on labels like Rebel Music, Citrus Recording, Parallel Depth, Rollout Records, and Identity Records, he has built his rep the old-school way. Clubs, graft, grit, and relentless output. His sound leans dark and driven, with crisp percussion that snaps like cold metal and basslines that creep, swell, and bite. ‘The Death of Old Sound ‘EP takes those foundations and lifts them into something sharper and more weaponised.

Across the EP, you can hear Drelio’s instinct for pressure building and tension control. Atmospheric intros stretch the air thin before the drums punch straight through. Liquid-leaning elements ride alongside deep, rolling grooves, creating that perfect balance between emotion and impact. This is the sound of an artist shifting gears. Altius Sounds has a habit of catching producers right as they hit their stride and ‘The Death of Old Sound’ EP makes it clear he is ready for the next stage.

And if you know his story, it tracks. Drelio has shared stages with A.M.C, Monty, Pola & Bryson, Enei, Wingz, Revan, Zerozero and Able. That kind of company tells you everything. He understands dancefloors and knows exactly how to work them. No surprise the energy translates directly into the studio.

‘The Death of Old Sound’ EP signals a fresh chapter for both Drelio and Altius Sounds. It challenges familiar formulas, leans into creative evolution, and opens the door to a sound that feels both rooted and forward-moving. For the label, it lands right as they close out 2025 with intent and look ahead to a heavy 2026.

‘The Death of Old Sound’ EP by Drelio lands on Friday, 28th November. Check out our premiere of ‘Penitencia’ below and grab your copy of the EP from here the second it drops.
