Few artists in melodic bass can translate emotion into sound quite like William Black, and his latest project might be his most powerful statement to date. Out now via Lost In Dreams, The Shadow Realm LP finds William exploring the duality between light and darkness, heartbreak and hope, and the constant push toward self-acceptance through music.
Spanning 12 tracks, the album is a cinematic dive into the human condition, pairing William’s signature melodic writing with a darker, more atmospheric edge. From the soaring introspection of “Find Me In The Dark” with baby blue to the haunting tension of “Nightmare” alongside Fairlane and AMIDY, the record feels like both a confessional and a catharsis. Other collaborations include Rosie Darling, Blanke, Afinity, Trella, Freja The Dragon, and more, all lending their voices to an album that feels deeply human yet sonically expansive.
Speaking about the album, William shared:
“The Shadow Realm LP is about exploring the parts of ourselves we often keep hidden — the pain, the doubt, but also the resilience we find in those shadows. I wanted to make something that feels cathartic, something you can cry to, heal with, and celebrate together under the lights.”
Coinciding with the release, William hits the road for a 20+ city run that will include major festivals and international stops, bringing the world of The Shadow Realm to life in an immersive live experience that connects his emotional storytelling with the energy of the dancefloor.
With The Shadow Realm LP, William Black continues to cement his place as one of the genre’s most emotionally honest and forward-thinking producers; a storyteller who proves that even in the darkest spaces, there’s still light to be found.
