London dance DJ and producer Declan Knapp links up with well respected and highly sought after MC/vocalist Gardna on ‘Combat’.
An anthem in the making, the track features Heavy UKG drums, filthy dubstep influenced basslines and Gardna’s signature slick vocal delivery, making it the perfect pairing. There’s no messing about from the duo, just raw dubstep and bass energy from start to finish.

His sound is raw, immersive, and built for those who crave more than just a drop — music for dark rooms, big systems, and late nights that turn into early mornings.
