Doss has shared a new one-off single. "Drugs" has been a longstanding staple of her DJ sets, and now gets an official release on Duet and Major Recordings following the New York-based producer's Boiler Room set at Avant Gardner this past weekend. The song flips the Uffie track of the same name, and has been around in one form or another since 2018.

"Drugs" kicks off with Uffie's pitched-up voice — sounding uncannily like Grimes circa 2012 — before plunging into a weapons-grade techno hook that should easily break down the mind-body barriers of any dancefloor revelers. It contextualizes the surprisingly dark and serrated production on Doss' remix of Caroline Polachek's "Bunny Is A Rider," which came out earlier this month. Listen below.
