UK producer GAWP joins the evolving HUGS imprint with ‘Lame Friends’ – an infectious roller with harrowing vocals.

Previously starring on a platter of formidable labels such as Dirtybird, Farris Wheel, Toolroom and Heldeep to name a few, GAWP’s signature twist has seen his name become a regular title in playlists for Claude Vonstroke, Will Clarke, Oliver Heldens, David Guetta, Idris Elba and more.

Capturing the imagination of a dark dingy night spot, this record was written about those lame friends who go home early from the clubs… otherwise known as ‘Canaries’ as they are the first to leave the mine 😉
