What do you guys think about dropping music on @bandcamp exclusively for a period of time? Preorders are officially open starting at $1 for my new album Now or Never, which comes out July 31st and stays as a Pay-what-you-want release forever on Bandcamp! Then 2 weeks later it will arrive on all other services on August 14th 💪🏻 This album is full of deep meaning to me and I wanted to be sure it could get into the hands of everyone who needs to hear it, so I wanted to make sure it was affordable for anyone!

Wayward means something special beyond words to us. This song is an alchemy of time and transformation, and we wanted to create something beautiful within the changes we have both experienced time and time again. We hope that it resonates with you, but we wonder how this song maybe asks the same questions about your own story? Sending you all immeasurable love and hope for your own journeys of change 🌌💫🌀

I also wanted to give a proud and thorough thank you to the minds behind my cover arts, @chaseyaws with the lens, and @paarkdtc with creative direction—both of these guys are truly inspirational to me as artists and visionaries, and I am so thankful to have worked with them throughout this process to create a beautiful visual world spoken from within this music 💙

Wayward is out now and it’s just waiting for that one person to hear it—I hope it finds you! My album Now or Never is coming July 31st to Bandcamp as a pay-what-you-want (or free!) exclusive, and then to all other DSPs August 14! Find the countdown page on my website ✨ by @itsjustinhawkes

Your heavy gaze met the sunset
Lit the fire in your eyes
There’s a part of you hiding away
And it doesn’t feel right

My fifth and final single from my new album Now or Never, ‘Wayward’ with @audioscribemusic is available everywhere today 💙

Every time Dylan and I sit down to make music together, we can’t help but alchemize something magic to us personally. This song is about the change you listen to in yourself when you feel out of place, and how you become your most powerful self when you listen to your heart completely.

I hope you guys love this song like we do, and I can’t wait for you to experience the complete album on July 31st when it drops on Bandcamp—I want to give this music to the world, so Now or Never is dropping as a pay what you want exclusive on Bandcamp, and staying that way forever. It comes out on every other DSP on August 14!

Listen and Love 💙

Left right left on the beat
I want to hear you stomping your feet

STOMP—my new single is here, out everywhere ⛓️‍💥⛓️⛓️‍💥

Let go of self-consciousness and move your body with me, because I came to dance. Drum & Bass pulled me in like it was meant to be, it’s my tempo to the core. I wrote this song after playing a silent disco…can you guess why? Those late nights at @liquicity festival greenhouse had me inspired…I really hope you enjoy this one 🫶🏻🫶🏻

You may also notice @drumcaste as a collaborator: I am extremely excited to show you guys my next step as an artist, a release platform founded with intention. Drumcaste Collective is a space for 100% Human, creatively free Drum & Bass and bass music. It is my place to be exactly who I want the world to see and hear, and as a label, a place where quality music should coexist with good business practice. I wanted to create an artist advantaged label that bridges the sounds between continents, and builds within my own space in North America. There could not be a better time to create trust in what you listen to, and so our commitment is to offer the most imaginative music possible, generative AI-free. This is a place where I want music to breathe and flow, where the reason and meaning behind music really matters. I hope you might join us ✴️

What do you guys think is coming next? 😉

Thank you always to Chase Yaws for shooting such incredible visuals @chaseyaws 🎥
