Contributing WriterLos Angeles-based producer and composer Hayes Bradley unveils his most ambitious project to date with Audience, out now via StrataSonic Records. Known for his cinematic scores and ambient compositions, Bradley shifts gears to embrace the dancefloor once again, blending breakbeats, trip-hop, and atmospheric textures into a record that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
Following two beatless releases on Secular Sabbath, Audience marks Bradley’s debut with StrataSonic—an independent label celebrated for artistic freedom. The 14-track album channels his background in film and fashion into rich, emotional soundscapes that move with underground energy. Highlights include collaborations with Luna on the ethereal “Dear Treasure,” Amtrac on the soulful “Be Right With You,” and Oxis on the introspective “Wishes.”
“This record came together almost without me realizing it,” Bradley shares. “It feels like my whole life in one place.”
Across Audience, Bradley transforms moments of chaos and vulnerability into rhythm-driven meditations on self-discovery. The result is a deeply layered, immersive listening experience—one that reaffirms his reputation as an artist unafraid to evolve.
Audience is out now on StrataSonic Records.
