Djrum has announced his forthcoming EP, ‘Meaning’s Edge’, which will mark his first release since 2019 upon its release on November 22.
Dubbed “an introduction to a whole new world”, it explores a variation of production techniques honed since his debut EP in 2010, this time with a more lighter, quicker approach to writing music — even utilising his own flute playing across the record.

Such use of various flutes – particularly Bansuri, Shakuhatchi, Western and Classical – is synthesised, with each coherently blurred to result in the airy atmosphere attached to the half-hour-long release. That is, of course, amidst its divergence affectionately associated with the musician, aka Felix Manuel.
By drawing upon his experiences of recent times, and across his life – from ethnomusicology studies to hours of DJing to explorations of his own neurological and emotional makeup – a variety of soundscapes are touched upon. There’s OG dubstep, glittering braindance and post-classical exploration, hints of musical patterning of genres including grime and even elements inspired by Tanzania’s hyperspeed singeli style of dance music.
To accompany the announcement – revealed on his Instagram this week – he’s shared lead single ‘Codex’, which you can check out now.
