If a track feels like it’s building toward something bigger, you know it’s more than just another club weapon. That’s exactly the case with Jøsh’s latest release, “Ascend.”
Blending Bass House, Electro, and melodic tension, the North Shields producer continues to push his sound, crafting music that doesn’t just hit hard in a club, it creates moments.
“Ascend” is driven by powerful low-end energy and a sense of constant motion, but what sets it apart is its scale. This isn’t just about the drop, it’s about the journey.
From the opening tension to the release, this production feels designed for those moments where a crowd lifts together. The whole journey feels like a story told through sound design and melodic tension. As always, from the second it starts, it’s clear Jøsh isn’t following the rules.
Evolution Beyond the ‘Reality’ EP
Following the success of his ‘Reality’ EP, this new release marks a clear evolution. Where previous records explored narrative and concept, “Ascend” focuses on feeling and elevation, capturing that transition from underground energy into something more expansive and euphoric.
Once the moment of euphoria from the drop is over, the next begins with a vocal sample which will catch the listener off guard and bring a new sense of festival moment to anyone who listens.
This new club weapon has already started gaining attention ahead of release, with early support from Laidback Luke, interest from Dim Mak, and growing traction across social platforms. “Ascend” was announced live on air during an interview on SPARK.FM. Since then, it has received heavy support from Dance Revolution Radio, all before the cut has even been released.
It’s clear this one is resonating before it’s even fully out in the world.
An Artist Who Refuses the Formula
What makes Jøsh stand out is his refusal to follow a formula. Instead, he builds tension, atmosphere, and emotion into his productions, creating records that feel just as impactful in a festival setting as they do in darker club spaces. With sound design and track structures uniquely his own.
The track is an instantly recognizable Jøsh production, with no better home for the record than his own OZØNE RCRDS. Released through the imprint, “Ascend” continues to define his identity as an artist who operates independently, yet thinks on a much larger scale.
Keeping the extended mix as a Beatport exclusive, the scene will be keeping an eye out for the damage it is set to cause in the mainstage and Electro charts.
In short, this is a club weapon built for movement, not just physically, but emotionally. And if “Ascend” is any indication of where Jøsh is heading next, the trajectory is only going one way. Up.
