William Black creates music that feels like a massive, glowing embrace in the middle of a dark room. His sound is defined by the contrast between delicate, piano-led verses and explosive, 'supersaw' synth drops that feel like a physical release of tension. It is the sound of 'sad-boi' EDM at its most polished and hopeful, turning heavy themes of addiction and depression into soaring anthems.
What sets him apart is the sheer scale of his production; he builds vast, cinematic soundscapes that never lose their human core. While many melodic bass producers focus on the aggression of the drop, Black prioritizes the emotional arc of the song, ensuring the guest vocals are front-and-center. The textures are crystalline and bright, shimmering with a digital clarity that feels modern and expensive.
Start with the album 'Pages' or the breakout single 'Deep End.' These tracks perfectly encapsulate his ability to take a painful, intimate sentiment and scale it up for a festival mainstage, making them ideal for anyone who wants their electronic music to have a heartbeat and a story.
