Pioneering electronic act Modestep is back in full force with their explosive new single, “Shutting Down,” marking the dawn of a bold new era. Out March 28, this track is a sonic powerhouse, seamlessly merging their signature blend of rock and bass music into an adrenaline-fueled experience.
“Shutting Down” kicks off with ominous synths before launching into a distorted, hard-hitting guitar riff, setting the tone for an intense and emotional ride. As gritty, processed vocals cut through the mix, the track builds tension before detonating into a relentless fusion of drum and bass, rock, and metal. With industrial-tinged synths, thunderous drums, and a pulsating low-end, Modestep crafts an electrifying soundscape that pushes sonic boundaries while staying true to their bass-fueled roots.
“‘Shutting Down’ is a reflection of how sometimes we feel more like machines—pushed to create endlessly until we burn out. Are we creating, or are we just running out of power?”
