CID Returns to Insomniac Records With ‘Loaded Gun’

Available to stream now across all platforms

Born and raised in Queens, CID is a New York City native making his long-awaited return to Insomniac Records with his follow-up single. "Loaded Gun" is a groove-inducing tech-house track created specifically to open his sets with a bang. With commanding electroclash-style vocals, the single’s hot-headed intensity is mirrored by a hefty indie dance groove, which unfurls through rubbery basslines, sharp percussive arrangements, rattling melodic accents, and buzzsaw synths that zip like a Gatling gun.

“I wanted to create a peak-time house record that feels like a statement from the first drop. It’s been the intro in my sets, and it commands the room instantly. “Loaded Gun” sets the tone for the year. I’ve got a loaded clip of new music on deck, and I’m locked in. I’m here to stay. It also marks my return to Insomniac Records, which makes it even more meaningful” - CID.

CID first appeared on the label in 2022 with two singles, "La La La" (1.96M streams) and "Hold Me Close" (860.4k streams), which received combined radio plays from BBC Radio 1, SiriusXM, SLAM!, KCRW, Kiss FM AUS, Radio Metro, and Sunshine Live. They also landed on radio shows hosted by Diplo, LP Giobbi, Afrojack, Oliver Heldens, Tiesto, MK, and Dombresky.

CID holds numerous #1 club records across his catalog (including releases via his own Night Service label), drawing regular cosigns from industry giants Solomun, John Summit, and Dom Dolla. He is currently embarking on his +25-stop 'No Introduction' Tour—the majority of which are sold-out—including sets at EDC Las Vegas, 99 Scott Brooklyn, Soundcheck, Floyd Miami, Sunbar, Shoko Barcelona, Marquee Nightclub LV, Elixir, and more.
