Thomas Gold returns with an evocative new house anthem, “Rebel,” featuring the compelling vocals and lyricism of Barmuda, out October 17 on Dim Mak. Anchored by a high-impact drop and cinematic production, the track blends introspection with dancefloor energy, creating a sound that resonates as strongly on headphones as it does on festival mainstages.
Following the success of his recent Dim Mak releases, including “Set Me Free” and his iconic cover of Blue Monday, Thomas Gold continues to demonstrate his ability to fuse emotion with club-ready rhythms. “Rebel” carries a message of resilience and self-discovery, inviting listeners to rise again when things fall apart.
“REBEL started from a vocal demo I received from Barmuda—and the moment I heard it, I felt something powerful,” shares Thomas Gold. “The original version was completely different, but I envisioned a darker, more cinematic space around his vocal, paired with tech house club beats that give it movement and energy. For me, REBEL is about finding your way back—standing up again even when the light feels gone. It’s the first track from my upcoming 4-track ECHOES EP on Dim Mak, showcasing the darker, clubbier side of my sound.”
Barmuda’s evocative lyrics and vocal performance build tension leading into Gold’s explosive production, creating a track that’s equal parts introspective and festival-ready. “Rebel” highlights Thomas Gold’s knack for pushing boundaries in dance music while cementing Barmuda’s distinctive vocal presence.
“Rebel (ft. Barmuda)” is out October 17 on Dim Mak.
