RL Grime's new album, "PLAY," can only be described with one word: masterpiece. With 24 tracks divided into three distinct sections, the compilation represents the pinnacle of electronic dance music and takes the position as our favorite release of the year so far.
After months of teasing and heightened anticipation, RL Grime has unveiled his magnum opus to the world today: an album that not only defies genre conventions but also redefines them and pushes the boundaries of bass music to a higher level.
The album is thoughtfully structured into three distinct sections: APEX, GRID and RUSH.

Each section stands as a testament to the album's artistry, offering its own unique vibe and ambiance, ensuring that every moment of the album is a fresh and memorable encounter.
In the first section, "APEX," it's an exhilarating start that sets the tone for what's to come. RL Grime immerses us in the heart-pounding energy of electrifying sounds that transport us directly to a bass music rave, and collaborations with artists like JAWNS, Juelz, and ISOxo unleash an wave of trap euphoria that never ceases to amaze.
Transitioning into the second section, "GRID," RL Grime presents an anthem-laden landscape where the focus shifts to lyrically powered tracks featuring the incredibly talented EMELINE, 070 Shake, 1nonly, Reo Cagun, and Noomi.
The final section, "RUSH," plunges us into a euphoric state of sonic ecstasy. Drawing inspiration from UKG and techno with smooth basslines, RL Grime conjures here a reimagined experience creating a mesmerizing sonic journey that transports us to a different dimension.
What sets "PLAY" apart is its unparalleled production prowess and meticulous art curation, ensuring that each section flows effortlessly into the next. "PLAY" is a testament to RL Grime's enduring influence and commitment to shaping the future of electronic music. In every sense of the word, it is a masterpiece.

"currently sitting in a park reflecting on the last few years and wanted to get some random thoughts down .. from feeling completely stuck and sitting at home with no drive to make music whatsoever, to where we are today, hours away from releasing my third album is something I’m still trying to wrap my head around. It’s hard not to get caught up in the relentless and ever impending content/virality race of the current music industry .. for a long time it weighed down on my creativity and ultimately pushed me away from engaging at all with social media. thankfully this album process set me on a trajectory to regain my confidence not only as a producer but more importantly as a person.want to extended an eternal thank you to everyone involved in this project .. collaboration is such a beautiful and rewarding process , and is still one of my favorite aspects of making music . want to also shout out everyone who has released music with sable valley over the last ~4 years. it has been my honor and privilege to release your work and it continues to be a process I care deeply about. this record label has given me hope and inspiration when I needed it most .anyways i am just so grateful to have gotten to this point and am so so proud of this album .. really can’t wait for everyone to hear it in full.. hope to see you out there somewhere soon . let’s rip ❤️🔥" - @rlgrime
