New Audio: H2SO4 Returns with Slick and Swaggering “Bad Habits”

Over the past 18 months or so, give or take, I’ve spilled quite a bit of virtual ink covering British electronic outfit and JOVM mainstays H2SO4. During that same period, they’ve released a steady batch of slickly produced, club friendly bangers.

2023 has seen the release of a couple of singles:

  • “Outsiders (BassBears Mix),” a sleek, Balearic house-like banger built around glistening synth arpeggios, tweeter and woofer rattling beats, enormous bass drops and euphoria-inducing hooks paired with sultrily delivered vocal sample fed through a bit of distortion.

  • “Following The Line,” a wildly accessible deep house banger that subtly channels Tweekend-era The Crystal Method and Come With Us-era The Chemical Brothers.

The JOVM mainstays’ latest single “Bad Habits” continues a run of swaggering and slickly produced material but while expanding upon their sound — with the single being a seamless blend of indie electro pop and drum ‘n’ bass that wouldn’t be out of place in the Big Beat era.

New Audio: JOVM Mainstays H2SO4 Return with a Slick Club Banger

Over the past 12-15 minutes or so, I’ve spilled quite a bit of virtual ink covering British electronic outfit and JOVM mainstays H2SO4. Last year was among the busiest years for the British outfit as they released a batch of slickly produced club bangers.

They began the year with “Outsiders (BassBears Mix),” a sleek, Balearic house-like banger built around glistening synth arpeggios, tweeter and woofer rattling beats, enormous bass drops and euphoria-inducing hooks paired with sultrily delivered vocal sample fed through a bit of distortion. This one sounds as though it would rock clubs at Ibiza on any given night.

Continuing a rather prolific period for the British outfit, their latest single “Following The Line,” a slick yet accessible deep house banger that wouldn’t sound out of place at Avant Gardner or Ibiza while subtly channeling Tweekend-era The Crystal Method and Come With Us-era The Chemical Brothers.
