Spain’s seasoned producer duo return to Insomniac’s rave label with their sophomore single, a detonation of razor-sharp breakbeat infused with hefty UK garage warehouse power.
UFO Project returns to Insomniac’s Speaker Freaker with “Hit Em Like,” a no-holds-barred breaks weapon that sharpens the duo’s rave-driven identity into its most confrontational form yet. Arriving February 13th, the single marks their sophomore release on the imprint and lands as a statement of intent—one that reflects both their recent 20-year milestone and an unrelenting drive to keep pushing UK-rooted bass music into new, unruly territory.

True to UFO Project’s cosmic sleight of hand, “Hit Em Like” opens with a deceptive sense of calm. A soulful, unassuming intro drifts forward on floaty melodic lines and buttery vocal hooks, momentarily easing the listener into orbit. That restraint doesn’t last long—the track detonates into a low-end onslaught of screwy sub-bass oscillations, guttural call-and-response phrasing, and razor-sharp percussion, punctuated by blaring police sirens and fiery vocal chops that cut straight through the mix. It’s breakbeat at full throttle: funky, ferocious, and engineered for maximum chaos.
Touching on the experimental nature driving their follow-up single, UFO Project says, “With ‘Hit Em Like,’ we challenged ourselves to evolve our sound without losing our identity. The track came from a need to reconnect with the energy of the dancefloor while exploring a more modern UK Garage and bass approach.”
The single builds directly on the momentum of their recent debut “Freaker,” which introduced UFO Project to the Speaker Freaker universe while earning coverage from outlets including IGGY Magazine, BeatBurger, Frontview Magazine, Beat For Beat, Blatantly Blunt, Perspective, and Find Your Sounds. With “Hit Em Like,” the southern Spain duo lean even harder into the rave ethos that defines their sound, blending breakbeat pressure with bass-heavy theatrics and unmistakable UK influence.
Across two decades, UFO Project have carved out a lane defined by stylistic fearlessness, drawing from breakbeat, bass house, UKG, drum and bass, and funky bass without ever losing their grip on the dancefloor. Their forward-thinking approach has earned recognition from heavyweights such as Afrojack, Zomboy, Alison Wonderland, Jauz, Excision, and NGHTMRE, while live appearances like Híbrida Fest have helped solidify their reputation as high-energy selectors with a taste for the unpredictable.
“Hit Em Like” arrives as both a continuation and an escalation; a track that honors rave tradition while twisting it into something sharper, louder, and more volatile. As UFO Project continue their interstellar push through the global bass circuit, the single stands as a clear reminder that even 20 years in, they’re still accelerating—no brakes, no compromises.
UFO Project’s new single “Hit Em Like” is available on all platforms via Speaker Freaker.
