The highly-anticipated track has been dishing out damage on the world’s biggest stages – Parklife, Warehouse Project, Glastonbury & more.
Sammy Virji and Interplanetary Criminal’s newest single “Damager” is a high-energy track that showcases the duo’s mastery of UK garage and rave-ready sounds. Available today (Friday, Nov. 15) via Astralwerks, “Damager” merges a bouncy, bass-driven beat with a sharp sample from East Coast rapper Apathy’s track “Just Begun.” It’s a club anthem through and through, built for late nights on the dance floor, where its pounding beat and infectious rhythm fully ignite the crowd. The track is also featured on Spotify’s acclaimed New Music Friday editorial playlist.
Both Virji and Interplanetary Criminal have carved their own influential paths in the electronic music space. Virji, with his feel-good garage tunes and chart-climbing single, “If U Need It,” has captivated UK audiences, even playing to a 55,000-strong crowd at Milton Keynes. Interplanetary Criminal, best-known for the chart-dominating hit “Baddest Of Them All (B.O.T.A)” with Eliza Rose, has similarly solidified his status as a leader in the UK garage resurgence. Together, they amplify the UKG wave by adding a fresh, electrifying sound that couples nostalgia with contemporary edge.
“Damager” is a long-awaited collaboration that underscores their shared vision of bringing UK garage to global audiences, infusing it with a fresh energy that speaks directly to music lovers and club-goers alike. With “Damager,” Sammy Virji and Interplanetary Criminal not only deliver an undeniable dance-floor banger, but also spotlights the ongoing evolution of the UK garage scene.
