Drum’n’bass DJ Robert Etheridge, known as Dimension, premiered the fourth official single ‘Offender‘ from his long-anticipated debut album. Confidently operating at the very forefront of the UK electronic scene in recent years, the music producer is finally ready to release a full lenght body of work titled Organ and expected to drop in March 2021. The record will feature a total of seventeen tracks, including ten previously unheard songs alongside most of his recent sengles from the past two years and well-known club anthems, and the huge collaboration with Sub Focus for ‘Desire‘ in 2018. Organ is already available to pre-order on CD and LP on his official website, and pre-save on all major streaming platforms.
‘Offender‘ is the sixth new track from Dimension this year, following ‘Don’t Sleep‘, ‘Love to Give‘, ‘Saviour‘, ‘Hatred‘ and ‘Remedy‘. The single premiered on Friday via the official UKF channels, and offers a fiery rave banger for those endless stay-at-home lockdown parties, taking a sharp turn away from Dimension’s signature vocal-led and more melodic drum’n’bass comfort zone.
Promoted as the fourth official single off Organ, the new track is in fact the seventh standalone release by Dimension to be featured on the upcoming record. Back at the end of 2018 Etheridge collaborated with drum’n’bass titan Sub Focus for the silver-certified ‘Desire‘ – an immediate genre classic that peaked at 51 in the UK singles chart after 9 weeks and cemented Dimension as one of the most exciting names in the scene. The rising DJ kept the fire burning in 2019 with the anthemic ‘Devotion‘ featuring Cameron Hayes on vocals, as the second highlight in Organ.
Despite the mass lockdown and ongoing events restrictions preventing Dimension’s iconic live sets, the DJ kept dropping new tracks from the album throughout 2020, starting with the atmospheric ‘Love to Give‘ featuring Billy Lockett and Culture Shock, the moody ‘Saviour‘ with Sharlene Hector, the team-up with E11E for the heavy banger ‘Hatred‘, and topping it all off with the beautiful melodies and TS Graye’s soaring vocals in ‘Remedy‘. Shortly before releasing the latest ‘Offender‘, Etheridge finally shared more details on Organ for UKF:
“In the end, the reason I decided to commit to the album project was because I think I’ve become more self-assured, and in-turn become confident in the artist that I am. I wanted to do something that develops a deeper look into my sound – and also – create a musical timestamp of who I am as both an artist and a person. As an artist, I’ve learnt you don’t have to be shy with how you express yourself, and an album really allows you the creative freedom to show this.”

Following a huge 2019 which saw Dimension play sold-out shows across the world, including the iconic Rampage 2019 Festival, Etheridge was forced to isolate away from what he does best – bring his infectious energy directly to his audience. Making the most of lockdown live, Dimension finished the production of his highly anticipated debut Organ and even managed to sneak in an exclusive virtual set from a secret London location.
Next Tuesday 15 December the DJ is expected to return to live performances at the renowned Foreverland festival in Prague alongside Artful Dodger, James Hype, Notion, and many more. Dimension’s next UK gig is at the O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester on 27 March 2021, supposedly following the release of the record, with several headline shows expected to be announced soon provided the official government guidelines allow live parties to go ahead.
