Following Cloonee’s opening release of the year with the statement-making ‘XTC’, Hellbent Records continues its 2026 schedule in emphatic fashion as UK export Joshwa steps onto the label for the first time with the explosive ‘Out Of My Mind / Time 2 Move’. Backed by extensive support, the two-tracker features a lead effort that has quickly become a highlight in sets from an endless list of leading names, firmly positioning it as one of the most anticipated club records of the moment.
Joshwa’s rise has been driven by instinct and an unfiltered connection to the dancefloor. Formerly London-based and now operating out of New York, his journey mirrors that of Hellbent founder Cloonee – a new-generation UK artist exporting club-ready sounds via the US to the world’s biggest stages. On ‘Out Of My Mind’, one of the most sought-after IDs of the moment, he unleashes a high-impact, crowd-tested weapon, with its infectious lead vocal and punchy low-end repeatedly delivering peak-time moments wherever it’s played. On the flip, ‘Time 2 Move’ doubles down on rolling basslines, sharp percussion, and relentless momentum, reinforcing Joshwa’s reputation for no-nonsense, floor-focused production.
The release marks another major milestone for Joshwa, whose path from self-taught bedroom producer to internationally touring DJ has been rapid. Already widely anticipated, the EP continues to set the tone for Hellbent’s year ahead and signals the arrival of Joshwa as a key new addition to the label’s ever-growing roster.
