Following a run of releases on Time Is Now, Hardline Sounds, and Method 808 – including a standout collaboration alongside heavyweights Tim Reaper and Special Request – Oliver de Friend, aka ODF, steps onto LOCUS for the first time with ‘Hear Dis’ – a sharp, club-focused EP that captures the breadth of his sound. Operating at the intersection of house, UK garage and bass-driven club music, the London-based artist has built a reputation for fluid, genre-spanning productions and sets that prioritise energy, movement and connection. Building on the launch of his own imprint On Da Floor in 2025, this latest label debut on Enzo Siragusa’s imprint brings another offering rooted in UK club sonics.

Title track ‘Hear Dis’ brings weighty sub-bass, punchy drums, and a relentless, driving rhythm to open the EP with authority, before ‘To The UK’ nods to classic UK influences, blending swung percussion and bassline pressure into a tightly wound, high-energy groove. On the flip, ‘All Massive’ fuses hazy touches, crisp textures, and melodic flourishes for a heads-down trip, before ‘Trojan Horse’ closes things with more kinetic pressure, raising the energy levels one last time for a dynamic, late-night finish.
