A notable collaboration with Disclosure on ‘The Mechanism’ soon followed and supporting them on their biggest ever UK headline show. With further support coming from a huge range of publications, Friend Within started his has his own label, ‘He Loves You’, self-releasing his blurring take on house music.

Counting performances on the heralded party that is The Holy Ship! and Mexico’s EDC festival.

Regular releases on Toolroom Records, including ‘Lonely’ and ‘The Truth’, have become firm faves of Calvin Harris to name a few.

2021’s ‘Ghetto Rock’, also on Toolroom, has been one of the tracks of the year so far…

Support comes from Made By Pete, whose recent work has been snapped up by taste-making labels like Crosstown Rebels, DFTD and MadTech Records
