DanMat explores restraint and release on Avoidant EP

With Avoidant, DanMat—founder and owner of Disrupted Music—delivers a focused two-track EP on Dear Deer Dubs, set for release on 24th January 2026. Rooted in indie dance and electro-leaning club aesthetics, the record translates emotional distance into disciplined grooves and hypnotic repetition. Avoidant builds tension through minimal movement and controlled pressure, reflecting themes of withdrawal and internal conflict. In contrast, Sweat Is Truth embraces the physicality of the dancefloor, using repetition and release to turn sweat and proximity into a shared, grounding experience. A compact release that prioritises intention, atmosphere and club functionality.

Tracklist:

  1. Avoidant (Extended Mix)
  2. Sweat Is Truth (Extended Mix)
