Manchester-based producer Rohaan has become the UK’s pick of the bass music litter, developing an impressive following with a sound that traverses drum & bass, halftime, trap, and experimental beats. Making his return to Hard Recs comes the woofer-rattling dubstep anthem “Sticks & Stones.” The track follows a slew of impressive singles on the label, including “Musket” with the mighty Flowdan, “Something in the Green,” and “Euphoric.”

Diving straight into the deep dubstep sphere, Rohaan delivers his bass-heavy anthem “Sticks & Stones.” The track effortlessly moves between experimental and approachable, pushing a sound that is addictive and evocative. Built around hoarse vocal murmurs and tribal-like chants, the vocals are irresistibly entrancing. Complex percussive patterns and clattering accents drive the track forward with a playfully yet commanding pull. Bringing it all together is the soul-shaking low-end that will push the speaker stacks to their absolute max. Mind-bending synth play and filthy sound design adds the cherry on top of this sweet, sinister banger. Rohaan once again proves to be a dominant force in the UK electronic music scene.
Speaking to the genre-bending construction of his new single, Rohaan shares: “I have been on the road quite a bit the past few years. This has accumulated into a mixing pot of music that I have heard and played out. All different styles and genres. ‘Sticks & Stones’ was made in a time of experimentation with a simple sample and a groove. What more do you need, I guess! Enjoy.”
UK-based producer Rohaan continues to be one the brightest rising stars in the world of bass. Known for a sound that expands across the bass scene, he’s been included in the ‘Best Tracks of 2022’ by Mixmag, ‘Best Newcomer Artist 2022’ by Radaar Show, UKF’s ‘Top 20 Artists’ and ‘Top 20 Albums Of The Year’ and was nominated for DJ Mag‘s ‘Breakthrough Producer‘ in 2023. The proof is all there. His music has been championed by Charlie Tee, Black Sun Empire, NGHTMRE & SLANDER, Thys, and Axel Boy. Rohaan is in the midst of his biggest year to date, with performances at EDC Las Vegas, Rampage Open Air, Tomorrowland, Let It Roll Festival, Locus Festival, and his debut headline show at Darkstar in Tempe.
“Stick & Stones” is a genre-bending dubstep weapon primed to destroy festivals and club sets for the foreseeable future.
Rohaan’s new single “Sticks & Stones” is available on all platforms via HARD Recs.
