Leotrix Blends Futuristic Dubstep and OG Gabber on Full-Throttle Bass Single "Preach" via Gud Vibrations - OUT NOW

Australia’s innovative producer returns to NGHTMRE and SLANDER’s label with the third single from his debut album, a fusion of old-school happy hardcore and dubstep that signifies his ever-evolving approach to his craft.

Australian-born, Denver-based producer Leotrix unveils “Preach,” the third and final lead signal from his forthcoming debut album on Gud Vibrations, the label founded by NGHTMRE and SLANDER. Out March 6th, the single arrives as a bold statement of intent, capturing the full scope of his genre-fluid approach while setting the tone for the project ahead.

A high-impact dubstep release at its core, “Preach” threads together breakbeat rhythms, hardstyle propulsion, and future riddim textures into a tightly engineered, club-ready framework. Oscillating melodic chimes introduce the track before punchy breakbeat drums drive it forward with relentless momentum. Heavily distorted hard dance elements collide with compressed dubstep drops, while flashes of colorbass-infused house bring dynamic contrast. Drawing on inspiration from old-school gabber, the production channels fast-tempo rave energy without sacrificing the precision and low-end weight that define Leotrix’s sound design. The result is a genre-blending bass record built for both hardstyle arenas and underground club systems—a kinetic reminder to celebrate every corner of dance music’s BPM spectrum.

Breaking down the creative direction he took on his new single, Leotrix says, “I wanted to make a tune that felt reminiscent of OG UK happy hardcore, as well as gabber hardstyle, whilst keeping my compressed dubstep EDM style. I love hardstyle melodies and hardstyle kicks; the sound design in hard dance music really reflects some of the stuff I really enjoy about dubstep sound design.”

“Preach” follows the release of recent single “Fighter Pilot,” which garnered coverage from EDM.com, Fresh Music Freaks, Visual Atelier 8, Find Your Sounds, and Perspective. The single also lands amid a strong run of live performances, with recent appearances at Concord Music Hall, 1015 Folsom, Break Point, Lake Union Park, The Vermont Hollywood, and OK Farmers Market, reinforcing his growing presence across North America.

At 26, Leotrix has established himself as one of bass music’s most versatile and technically adept producers. After securing an early deal with Ministry of Sound Australia, he went on to earn multiple #1chart positions on Beatport and release music on imprints including Cyclops Recordings, Monstercat, Disciple Records, Bassrush Records, and UKF. His catalog has surpassed 30 million streams and received radio support from triple j and George FM. Since signing with Never Say Die in 2021, his international profile has continued to expand, with backing from Excision, Zomboy, and Virtual Riot leading to performances at major festivals including Rampage and Lost Lands, as well as tours across Japan, Hong Kong, Europe, and a 35-stop U.S. headline run.

With “Preach,” Leotrix delivers a final preview of his debut album while reinforcing his reputation for innovation across dubstep, trap, drum and bass, bass house, and leftfield bass. As anticipation builds around the full-length project on Gud Vibrations, the single underscores his commitment to pushing bass music forward—not by choosing a lane, but by expanding it.

Leotrix’s new single “Preach” is available on all platforms via Gud Vibrations.
