Firepower Records is set to release Zack The Lad’s forthcoming EP Black Sheep on January 29th. This has been a long time coming—the mysterious Zack The Lad has been on our radar for a while now, and the complexity of his alluring vibe-intense tunes have challenged and inspired many of the Firepower artists to up their production games. Last year, Datsik selected Zack The Lad’s tune “Skin” to feature on UKF’s Tune of the Month series. “I’ve been really feeling his stuff,” Datsik says. “The vibes are on another level. To put it simply, Zack The Lad is one of the only artists I have on my iPod right now.” That’s saying a lot coming from the Firepower Records Label Bass Boss himself. Needless to say, we felt compelled to install him on the Firepower Records roster and pump him right back into your earholes. The sound of the EP may be a departure from some of the hard-as-nails ragers Firepower Records has released in the past, but we also understand that there’s more than one way for music to melt the ice crushing our hearts and souls—and in this case, the sensual sunshine of Zack The Lad works just as well as a any sonic sledgehammer. Warning: Vibes Ahead.
