Nearside has just released his debut single, Alive, which captures the moment an emerging Birmingham producer finally steps out from behind his fear. Built a year ago in his bedroom and rediscovered among unfinished ideas, the track blends bright hooks with weighty mid-bass energy shaped by his rave experiences and influences like Pirapus and 5x. Encouraged by peers such as James Taupo, Nearside turns vulnerability into momentum, offering a heartfelt introduction to his drum-and-bass vision.
