Two powerful progressive cuts built for late sets, with early support from John Digweed on ‘Transitions’.
Forensic Records continues its run of quality underground releases with a standout collaboration between label co-pilot Fordal and long-time favourite Dave Walker. Their new two-track release, ‘Quantum Verse’, is out now, marking another strong entry in Forensic’s progressive catalogue.
The title track ‘Quantum Verse’ first caught global attention when John Digweed premiered it on his legendary Transitions show, setting the tone for a release that’s already resonating across the scene. It’s a deep, cinematic journey through evolving pads, sweeping melodies, and pulsing low-end energy. Walker’s lush, melodic layers fuse seamlessly with Fordal’s trademark groove, resulting in an expansive, emotionally charged club track built for those euphoric peak-time moments.
Flipping the mood, ‘Hyperlight’ delivers a darker, more driving sound. Built around tight percussion, hypnotic stabs, and razor-sharp basslines, it carries the intensity up another level. The breakdown hits with sunrise energy before dropping into a propulsive groove that screams late-night momentum. Every detail is dialled in for DJs who thrive on progression, tension, and release.
Together, the pair balance musicality with raw power, two cuts that speak to Forensic’s long-standing reputation for pushing forward-thinking progressive house with real depth and club precision. From Digweed’s early co-sign to the duo’s chemistry in the studio, ‘Quantum Verse’ shows both artists at their sharpest.
Warwickshire-based producer, Dave Walker, has been honing his skills in the art of audio engineering and DJ’ing for the last 20 years. As one half of The Stupid Experts and on his own, Dave has had many successful releases on various labels such as Avanti, JOOF, UV, Pure Progressive, Colorize, Bedrock, Forensic, Balance Series and Mango Alley Records with various Radio 1 and Kiss FM plays. Dave’s evolution in the scene has allowed him to carve his own forward-thinking style of melodic progressive dance music, and he always tries to push the boundaries further with every production.
Fordal (Les Dales) is a North East-born producer whose lifelong passion for music was shaped by early exposure to jazz via his saxophonist father and a deep connection to dance music’s counterculture. From being inspired by Andrew Weatherall at Turnmills to running the iconic Binary Records shop in the late 90s, he built a foundation that led to performances at venues like Ministry of Sound, EGG London and The Arena. Known for his eclectic, boundary-defying sets that balance light and dark, Fordal has since refined his production skills at Point Blank Music School, combining a vast record collection with a distinctive artistic vision set to resonate with music lovers worldwide.
