Eli Brown releases debut album Panic Attack, plays City Market in LA tonight

Eli Brown's first album is out. Panic Attack, 14 tracks on Insomniac Records, arrived Friday, and the Bristol producer celebrates it tonight, Saturday, November 14, with what he calls his largest headline show yet at City Market in Los Angeles.

For an artist whose name has mostly traveled on festival-ready singles, a full-length is a statement. "Be The One" has passed 147 million Spotify streams, "Diamonds On My Mind" sits north of 30 million, and his sets have run from EDC Las Vegas and Beyond Wonderland to Tomorrowland, Glastonbury and Awakenings. Brown said the album was his way of showing range: "Truth is, there's more to me as an artist than club bangers." He gave himself 12 months to make it, start to finish.

He has described the title as being about "finding a sense of freedom in chaos," and the record's core idea as "escapism through music." The rollout started in July with "Electrify," and "Damaged," with its trance touches, followed in September as the third single. UK MC IRAH guests on "Badman Riddim."

The Los Angeles night is a Factory 93 production, running 5pm to 11pm with HNTR, Leisan and Linska joining Brown. It's 21+. The show is one of the last stops on the Panic Attack Tour, which hit SILO in Dallas, DUCTWORK in Houston and Echostage in Washington, D.C. this fall before wrapping at Electric Brixton in London on November 21.

Panic Attack is streaming now. Tickets for City Market are on Front Gate through Factory 93.
