Migrant Unleashes New Single “Suppressed”

Out now, Migrant offers up a bold sonic transformation blending breakbeat energy, deep basslines and UK-inspired grit.

After mesmerizing listeners with the meditative pulse of “Anahata”, Indian producer and DJ Migrant returns with a fierce and fearless new single “Suppressed”. Representing a distinct shift in creative direction, “Suppressed” sees Migrant step into darker, rawer territory, embracing the restless energy of breakbeat, UK bass, and underground club culture.

Built around jagged percussion, warped low-end grooves and old school hip hop vocal samples that echo like ghosts from the rave era, “Suppressed” is both a love letter to the roots of dance music and a declaration of artistic evolution. Reworking a sample lifted from Blackstreet’s 1994 hit “Physical Thing’, Migrant takes the emotional depth that has always defined his work and channels it through a more visceral, kinetic form; one that hits as hard in the chest as it does in the mind.

Speaking about the new single, Migrant commented:

“This track came from a place of tension. I wanted to capture that feeling of something powerful trying to break through – emotion, memory, energy – all the things we keep buried. ‘Suppressed’ is about release. It’s about letting go.”

Drawing inspiration from the UK’s storied bass culture — from early jungle pioneers like Adam F through to modern breakbeat innovators like Overmono — “Suppressed” merges nostalgia with forward momentum. The result is a darkly euphoric cut that feels as suited to sweaty underground basements as to expansive festival sound systems.

“I’ve always loved tracks that feel alive,” Migrant continues. “On ‘Suppressed’, I wanted the drums to breathe, to stumble, to hit off-beat — to feel human. It’s rough around the edges in all the right ways.”

The single marks a significant evolution for Migrant, an artist known for his ability to blur the lines between the organic and the electronic. While his earlier work transported listeners to dreamlike, meditative spaces, “Suppressed” pulls them firmly back to the dancefloor: a place of chaos, catharsis, and connection.

From his beginnings as a globe-trotting hotelier who discovered music as a form of escape, to becoming one of India’s most compelling new producers, Migrant continues to redefine his sound with each release. “Suppressed” captures that restlessness and drive; a reflection of an artist in constant motion, unafraid to take risks or confront his own evolution head-on.

Migrant “Suppressed” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
