  Grum - Stay With Me

  If you have ever stood in a field at sunset while a melodic trance track did something unreasonable to your chest, you already know what Grum is for. Stay With Me is the Scottish producer operating in his comfort zone, which happens to be one of the most reliable comfort zones in dance music, big arcing melodies over a propulsive progressive pulse built to detonate on a festival stage at exactly the right golden-hour minute. The vocal is yearning without tipping into cheese, a hard line to walk, and the synth lead that answers it in the drop is the kind of simple, singable melody that will be stuck in ten thousand heads by the second chorus. Grum has been remarkably consistent for years on Anjunabeats, and consistency gets undersold; it is easy to be good once and genuinely hard to keep clearing the same bar release after release. Stay...

  The Pivot Lasted Nine Hours

  Stephen Miller is the new White House Chief of Staff. That’s the takeaway from losing both chambers of Congress in the biggest midterm rebuke in decades. Voters said “absolutely not” and Trump’s first move was to fire the one staffer even his critics admitted was competent. Susie Wiles ran the 2024 campaign that actually won. She kept the building from collapsing for two years. Her reward for being the only adult in the room is getting replaced by the architect of family separation, the Muslim ban, and a losing streak of court battles that made first-year law students look good. Miller’s whole career is cruelty as policy, and now he runs the building. The pivot to the center lasted about nine hours. He got crushed on Tuesday and by Thursday he’d picked the cruelest person in the building to run it. Welcome to the next two years.

  Desh - Wherever You Are (Telomic Remix)

  Liquicity remains undefeated at making me emotional over a breakbeat. Telomic’s remix of Wherever You Are is liquid drum and bass doing the thing only liquid can really do, pairing a heart-on-sleeve vocal with rolling, glassy production until the sadness and the momentum become the same feeling. Telomic has one of the warmest low ends in the scene, a bass that hugs instead of hits, and the remix leans entirely on that warmth. The original was already a gorgeous bit of songwriting; what Telomic adds is motion, a rhythm section that keeps the whole thing gliding at that specific liquid tempo where it feels fast and weightless at the same time. The vocal gets chopped in the back half into something halfway between a lyric and a loop, and the moment it comes back whole is a genuine lump-in-throat payoff. This is music for a long night drive, the city...

  Incident Report

  One cup, two hundred fingers, zero solutions. Aerial view. The whole office pointing at one spilled coffee like it personally attacked their quarterly targets. The cup is on its side in a puddle. Nobody is picking it up. That is the part that’ll follow you out of this image. We have perfected the art of surrounding a problem and screaming at it from every direction while the puddle quietly dries on its own. Two hundred people and not one of them is reaching for a napkin. The response gets bigger every year. The spill stays the same size.

  Calyx & Kemal - Above The Sun

  Veterans making this kind of effortless noise should be illegal. Calyx and Kemal have been welded together as a duo for years, and Above The Sun is them operating at the altitude the title promises, a big melodic drum and bass roller that never once feels like it is trying too hard. The pads open the thing up like a skylight and then the drums arrive with that signature snap these two have always had, crisp enough to cut but swung enough to move. There is a vocal sitting way back in the mix, more texture than lyric, and it gives the whole track a widescreen ache. What I keep coming back to is the low end, deep and unhurried, the sound of people who learned this craft when a bassline had to actually hold a room together for six minutes. It builds patiently and pays off without ever shouting...

  ANUQRAM & Julian Nates - Driftline

  Three in the morning, headphones on, the ceiling doing slow laps, this is the track for that exact coordinate. Driftline is progressive trance that earns the word drift, a long, unhurried builder that is in no rush to get anywhere because the travelling is the entire point. ANUQRAM and Julian Nates layer pad on pad until the low end feels less like bass and more like weather, and a single arpeggio threads through the middle of it like a light you are following through fog. There is barely a drop in the traditional sense; the track just keeps gathering mass and intensity until you realise you have been holding your breath. This is the deep, heads-down end of the Anjunabeats sound, pure 6am afterparty music for when the sun is coming up and nobody wants to admit it is over. Long beatless stretches that most producers would be too nervous...
