Bylaw[1] (alternatively Bylaw EP; stylised in all caps)[2] is the fourth EP by Dutch DJ Martin Garrix.[3] The EP was released in five parts, with a song being released each day from 15 to 19 October before being released in full on 19 October 2018,[4] similar to the release schedule of Garrix's previous EP Seven. The EP features collaborations with Blinders, Dyro, Pierce Fulton, and Linkin Park singer Mike Shinoda.[5] Details of the releases were initially leaked and thought to be rumours based on Garrix's website being updated, until Garrix confirmed the details through his Twitter.[6] [3] The first track, "Breach (Walk Alone)" with Blinders, was released on 15 October 2018.[7] "Yottabyte", "Latency", "Access" and "Waiting for Tomorrow" followed on 16, 17, 18 and 19 October 2018, respectively.[8] [9] [10] [11]

Promotion

On 13 October, Garrix posted a video of a plus symbol with static inside of it to his Facebook page;[5] he denied that he was set to release a full-length album, later sharing videos of five static blocks to his Instagram as well as images of five fingers.[12] His website then displayed a countdown, which ended at midnight on 15 October 2018,[5] at which time, Garrix released the first track from the EP, "Breach (Walk Alone)", through music platforms.[7]
