Brazilian DJ and producer Roddy Lima is kicking off July with a new single, ‘Ziplock‘, dropping on July 3rd. The track serves as the first preview of his forthcoming EP OVERDRIVE, scheduled for release on July 31st.
‘Ziplock’ is a brooding, peak-time tech-house cut built around pitched-down vocals and a tight, hypnotic groove. It leans into the darker, more stripped-back direction Lima has been moving toward — functional, high-impact, and designed for late-night dancefloors.
The single comes with a gritty, vlog-style music video shot on the road. The documentary aesthetic mirrors the track’s raw energy and gives a fairly unfiltered look at life as a touring artist.
OVERDRIVE EP and Summer Dates
With ‘Ziplock’ as its lead single, OVERDRIVE will further flesh out Lima’s approach to club-focused tech-house production when it lands later in the month. Lima has been building serious momentum over the past couple of years, with releases on Repopulate Mars, Experts Only, Black Book Records, Truesoul, and Drumcode — a run of labels that speaks to where his sound sits in the current underground landscape.
That momentum carries into the summer schedule. Lima is slated for a set at Tomorrowland on July 25th, followed by an appearance at John Summit’s Experts Only Ibiza takeover on July 27th at UNVRS.
‘Ziplock’ is out now across all platforms.
