KONCEPT
Koncept - Permanent
With “Permanent,” Koncept opens a more introspective chapter of his journey - one rooted in reflection, growth, and the desire to leave something that lasts. Written, produced, and performed entirely by Koncept, the record feels less like a statement and more like a realization - the sound of an artist taking a step back to understand everything it took to get here.
There’s a quiet weight carried throughout the song. Rather than chasing moments or recognition, “Permanent” lives in the space between past struggles and present clarity. It reflects on the sacrifices, the persistence, and the unseen work that shapes not just an artist, but a person. Every lyric feels intentional, as if Koncept is documenting a chapter of his life that can’t be undone - only understood.
Sonically, the record feels both reflective and forward-moving, blending atmosphere with structure in a way that highlights Koncept’s evolution as a producer and songwriter. Every element feels deliberate, reinforcing the song’s core theme of longevity over momentary recognition. There’s a sense of stillness within the movement, capturing the feeling of growth that isn’t loud, but undeniable. It’s not about proving anything anymore - it’s about recognizing what’s already been built.
As the newest single from his album Flight, “Permanent” represents a pivotal moment in the project’s narrative. While Flight explores Koncept’s upbringing, transformation, and evolution, this record lands on something deeper: legacy.
With “Permanent,” Koncept delivers more than a song - he offers a glimpse into the mindset of someone who has endured, evolved, and is now creating with intention that reaches beyond the moment. It’s a reminder that the most meaningful growth isn’t always seen -but it’s always felt, and it always lasts.
"Now never take off my Nanny's jewelry" - Check out the album artwork. The cardinal represents Koncept's grandmother.
RIP Champagne Nanny

DOPESICKFLY
About DOPESICKFLY
DOPESICKFLY is a band built on friendship, chance encounters, and a deep love of groove and soul.
Frontman Ant Thomaz, a singer-songwriter with Creole heritage, is known for his eclectic musical style. Nearly a decade ago in Glasgow, he met singer Wendy Rae at an open mic and was struck by the power and feeling in her voice. When they sang together, the chemistry was instant.
What began as friends playing small shows quickly felt like family, with Ant and Wendy sharing lead vocals and a musical bond that reached beyond the stage.
As momentum grew, DOPESICKFLY emerged as a genre-blurring collective, blending soul, funk, hip hop, folk, and rock into a sound rooted in groove and emotional honesty.
Within two whirlwind years, they were performing alongside artists they had grown up idolising, including Roy Ayers, Kool & the Gang, Sugarhill Gang, and Big Country.
After burning bright, the band paused as life pulled people in different directions, but the connection between Ant and Wendy never faded. Years later, at a birthday gathering, Ant posed the question: what if they brought the band back?
More chance meetings led to a new lineup: Gary Mulligan on bass, Ross Alexander blending funk grooves with indie rock on guitar, genre-hopping drummer Asim Rasool bringing power and global rhythm, and Jonni Slater adding rich textures on keys. Together, they began shaping new material that honours their roots while pushing forward.
Today, DOPESICKFLY remains what it was always meant to be - a collective driven by friendship, spontaneity, and fearless fusion.
Six musicians. Many styles. One shared pulse.
DOPESICKFLY-Side 2 Side
“I woke up on my good side”
DOPESICKFLY’s brand-new single “Side2Side” is a high-energy track that encourages listeners to let loose, get on their feet and move their bodies.

With its unique blend of genres, catchy hooks, and infectious beat, “Side2Side” is the perfect soundtrack for anyone looking to add some excitement and motivation to their daily routine. The lyrics reflect the band’s commitment to living life on their own terms.
"We're excited to share this new single with the world," says Ant Thomaz, the band’s frontman. "We hope it brings people together, gets them moving, and inspires them to chase their dreams.”
This single drop is ahead of their new EP "I Woke Up On My Good Side” due out Summer 2026.
