Hellbent Records presses forward with its 2026 schedule as VLAD steps onto the imprint for the first time with "Interlude," a sharp, high-energy two-tracker that introduces a new name primed for global dancefloors. Built around momentum, groove, and precision, the EP signals a confident arrival on Cloonee's flourishing label and reinforces its forward-facing direction.

Across the EP, VLAD distils and introduces his sound through two focused, peak-time cuts. The title track "Interlude" sets the tone with infectious basslines, tight percussion, and a driving groove engineered for maximum impact, while "POP" ups the intensity with crisp rhythms and relentless energy, locking dancers into a rolling, heads-down flow.

While VLAD may be a new name to the dancefloor, his production pedigree runs deep. Before launching the project, he built an elite résumé behind the scenes, earning a Grammy nomination for his work on Burna Boy's "I Told Them…" album while contributing to 27 certified records across both the US and UK. Now, that experience is channelled into a club-focused identity rooted in precision and crowd connection, marking a formidable new addition to Hellbent's roster and introducing another artist to watch closely as the year unfolds.
