Protocol Recordings kicks off 2022 with its first release of the year from newcomer Roc Dubloc and singer/songwriter Gid Sedgwick's single "Ready Or Not." The track serves as the debut on Nicky Romero's label for both Israeli artist Dubloc as well as the UK-based Sedgwick, and the two create a unique sonic experience with a combination of driving electro/progressive and retrowave influences. With an opening of haunting vocal riffs and a bassline that builds steadily into a drop that feels both dark and danceable, Sedgwick's voice lends a soulful element that takes the track to the next level, making this a strong start for Nicky Romero's imprint, whether you are "Ready Or Not" for it.
