Indefatigably ecstatic London-based producer, Darq E Freaker, shared the first track from his forthcoming ADHD EP on British imprint, Big Dada today. It's called "2C-I," and if you pull up the ever-trusty, educational drug database Erowid, you'll learn that that's the name of a short-acting synthetic psychedelic. It's further identified by The Verge as first synthesized around 1974 by Alexander Shulgin, the same man who is credited with introducing MDMA to psychologists for psychopharmaceutical use.

The track finds Jeremiah Ntéh as bombastic, brain-bending, and playful as ever. Built on the push and pull between a characteristically heavy trap drop and a sparkling, weightlessly jazzy section, the track has a wonderfully disorienting effect. Ntéh told THUMP via email: "I'm familiar with [2C-I]. The effects of foreign substances on the human mind and body is a concept I've been exploring, it has to do with drug and club culture as much as it has to do with a non-native species altering an environment."

Check out the track below, and be sure to pick up ADHD when it's out April 1.
