The 'Things Are Different Now EP' came together without Hobzee ever setting out to make an EP. After Goldie reached out following a previous release on 31 Recordings, Hobzee sent over a selection of tracks with Goldie choosing a final five both were happy with.

Across the EP, warm pads, rolling subs and detailed production sit alongside jazz influences and a number of long-running collaborations. The title track, a collaboration with Response, features bass guitar from Rob Le Plar, while 'Revox' brings together Justice, Secret Night Gang's Callum Connell on saxophone and Hobzee's production. Two further tracks feature his long-time collaborator Uneven.

His first release on Metalheadz and a return to his solo alias, 'Things Are Different Now' shows Hobzee doing what he does best, making deep, detailed music without worrying about where it fits.
