Promotion

edit

On 13 October, Garrix posted a video of a plus symbol with static inside of it to his Facebook page;[5] he denied that he was set to release a full-length album, later sharing videos of five static blocks to his Instagram as well as images of five fingers.[12] His website then displayed a countdown, which ended at midnight on 15 October 2018,[5] at which time, Garrix released the first track from the EP, "Breach (Walk Alone)", through music platforms.[7]
