Global techno heavyweight Eli Brown returns with “It’s Like That,” the second single from his forthcoming debut album, Panic Attack, out now via Insomniac Records. The release also marks the official announcement of Brown’s highly anticipated debut album, Panic Attack, arriving this fall.
‘It’s Like That is about being in the rave, that escapism and no judgment, simply getting lost in the music and having fun with your friends. With ‘It’s Like That’ I wanted to create something fun that encapsulated being in the rave, the escapism from the daily grind, no judgement, simply getting lost in the music and having a good time with your friends. Its what we live for…Fuck that shit.’ Eli Brown
“It’s Like That” finds Eli Brown at his most unapologetic, delivering a no-holds-barred club weapon built for the moments when nothing else matters but the music. Anchored by the defiant vocal refrain, “Fuck That Shit,” the track captures the freedom, release, and collective energy that define rave culture. Driven by rumbling basslines, acid-fueled synths, relentless percussion, and piercing rave sirens, Brown channels the gritty spirit of his hometown Bristol while injecting it with the power and precision of today’s biggest dancefloors. Equal parts underground rave anthem and peak-time festival destroyer, “It’s Like That” is pure escapism with grit.
The release marks the second single from Brown’s forthcoming debut album, Panic Attack, offering another glimpse into his boldest creative statement to date. While many artists choose between underground credibility and global festival appeal, Brown has spent years proving both can coexist. Following the success of “Electrify,” “It’s Like That” pushes even further into the raw, uncompromising sound that defines Panic Attack and the next chapter of his evolution.
Coming off major performances at Shambhala and Lollapalozza, Eli Brown will carry that momentum into the fall with his largest headline show to date in Los Angeles on November 14, followed by a return to Miami’s iconic Factory Town on September 25. As his audience continues to grow, so does his ability to introduce new listeners to techno while remaining firmly connected to the culture that has shaped his career.
