UK drum & bass sensation Dimension has been dominating the genre for years now. With wildly popular releases like “Desire” with Sub Focus, “UK,” and “Don’t Sleep” with Culture Shock, Dimension has become one of the foremost producers and performers in drum & bass. Now, his long-anticipated debut album, Organ, has finally been released. Organ features a whopping 17 tracks, nine of which have been previously released as singles.

Alison Wonderland is back. The electronic music superstar descended on New Zealand’s Matakana Country Park—located just one hour north of Auckland—to drop a massive set at Hidden Valley Festival over the weekend.

With the announcement of his forthcoming debut album, Dimension is about to embark on the biggest chapter of his career yet. The UK producer announced that the long-form project will be out later this year, but fans won’t have to wait long at all for the first single to drop. Written alongside UK songstress Jem Cooke, the album’s lead single “Saviour” is already demonstrating great promise.
