Taking a sharp detour from the dancefloor, David J Boswell returns with something altogether more mysterious.

David J Boswell went out one day, To Atlantis Audio, come what may,
With a track in his pocket and stars in his head, “I Know What I Saw!” is all that he said.

The label man listened with one purple ear, While sipping his tea (which was perfectly clear),
“But what did you see?” asked the Audio folk, As David J Boswell adjusted his cloak.

“I saw what I saw and I know what I know, It hovered and hummed with a luminous glow,
It circled the rooftops of old Sheffield town, Then played me a tune as it spiraled back down!”

So Atlantis Audio pressed the track tight, Released it at noon (though it felt like midnight),
And David J Boswell, with nothing to lose, Went home to his cottage to polish his shoes.

For when you know what you saw (and you saw what you knew), There’s nothing left but to make nonsense too,
With labels and tracks and impossibly small, Purple-eared men who believe nothing at all.

Best known as one half of acclaimed Sheffield electronic duo Hiem – whose disco-infused productions have graced labels like Crosstown Rebels and Eskimo, and featured collaborations with Phil Oakey and Roots Manuva – Boswell is now stepping out under his full birth name for a bold solo venture into stranger sonic territory.

“I Know What I Saw” trades “lissom disco” for the eerie glow of unexplained phenomena, weaving a compelling tale of skywatching and UFO abductions in Sheffield.

Originally from North Wales and a veteran of the UK electronic scene since the early ’90s rave days in Liverpool, Boswell has worn many hats 0 from his early Subboy white labels to his Bozzwell alias on Suicide Recordings, and his critically acclaimed 2010 solo album “Bits & Pieces.” he’s following his vision intomore atmospheric waters.

Out today via Atlantis Audio, the track offers our first glimpse of Boswell’s forthcoming album *Going Down Slow*, due January 19th, 2026. It’s a bold shift in direction from an artist unafraid to explore the unknown,

Press play and keep your eyes on the skies.
