Frigid just dropped his new two-track EP No Hibernation, and it lands as a confident statement of intent from the rising producer. As you’ll hear below, the project sees him leaning deeper into his bass-driven sound while continuing to strengthen his ties to the UK rap underground, bringing in heavyweight features from Grim Sickers and Rakjay.
“Cost Of Living” with Grim Sickers opens the EP on a dubstep-leaning foundation that feels both spacious and heavy. The track pairs sharp, grounded lyricism about money and survival with production that blends grime, trap, and lo-fi textures without feeling overcrowded. It’s gritty, focused, and distinctly Frigid. The title track featuring Rakjay pushes that energy further. Rakjay delivers a commanding verse that separates himself from the competition, while Frigid builds around a UK bass backbone that keeps the intensity locked in from start to finish.
Born in Montreal to Kabyle immigrant parents and raised near Vancouver, Frigid initially made his mark as a curator and connector, helping bring artists like TroyBoi, QUIX, and Tsuruda to Canadian audiences before stepping more fully into his own artistry. After losing both parents at 20, he committed himself to production and DJing with a renewed sense of purpose — something that subtly threads its way through this new project.
Now working closely with UK artists and hosting his Ice Box Sessions residency on Subtle Radio, Frigid continues to position himself as a bridge between scenes. We’re stoked to see where else he takes his sound this year – but in the meantime we’ll be bumping this new EP. Stream it via Spotify below and be sure to turn your speakers up for this one.
