Ever since the then mysterious Beatles Bootleg tore up Wembley Stadium, everybody knows the name Urbandawn. His anthem ‘Come Together’ dominated 2019 and went on to win the Drum & Bass Arena Award for ‘Best Track’. Now heralded within the drum & bass world for his razor-sharp sound design and distinctive calling card of top-shelf crunch throughout his releases, Urbandawn revisits a vocal powerhouse classic from his first album ‘Gothenburg Cluster’ on his latest single ‘Together Again (I Pray)’.
Boasting all the trademark trimmings you’d expect to find, ‘Together Again (I Pray)’ is a graceful yet powerful rework. Building on the emotive nature of the original, this 2020 edition is complete with smooth atmospherics and the original’s hair-raising vocal for a glorious melodic rush before roaring into heavyweight synthwork.
Originally trained in classical and Brazilian popular music playing guitar, bass and drums as well as graduating in Audio Engineering from IAV, Urbandawn’s varied influences and extensive training clearly contribute to his technically masterful productions.
Garnering respect far and wide throughout the drum & bass community for his first class ability in the studio, his infamous ‘Come Together’ rework has seen official features on BBC Radio 1 shows from MistaJam and High Contrast. Regularly championed by the likes of Andy C, Noisia, London Elektricity, Friction, DJ Marky and more, Urbandawn continues to take the world by storm.
