T & Sugah - The Rush
Read more . . . →The snare on “The Rush” cracks like someone breaking a plank over their knee, and once you notice it you can’t stop hearing it. T & Sugah have been quietly reliable in the melodic-DnB world for years, and this is them at full send — a euphoric, festival-sized drop that arrives at 1:22 and doesn’t apologise for being obvious. It’s not the most sophisticated thing UKF has put out this month, and it isn’t trying to be; the entire brief here seems to be “make people want to run through a wall,” and it delivers. The vocal is pitched up...

Amazon Fired the People Building the Robot That Was Coming for You
Read more . . . →Amazon spent two years telling everyone that AI was the future and your job was the past. This week it laid off people inside its AGI unit — the actual team building the models that were supposedly going to replace you — while it keeps pouring $200 billion into the data centers those models live in. Read that twice. They kept the concrete and cut the brains. The engineers writing the thing that was going to make you obsolete just found out they were a cost center too. This is where the whole pitch falls apart if you look at...

Sudley, Loboski, ShockOne & Hanne Mjøen - Terminal
Read more . . . →Four names on one track usually spells committee, but “Terminal” somehow sounds like a single idea rather than four people negotiating. ShockOne is the veteran in the credits and you can hear his fingerprints on the sound design — that crisp, slightly metallic drum work — but it’s Hanne Mjøen’s vocal that gives the thing a spine. She sings the hook with a flat, almost bored cool that plays beautifully against how frantic the drop gets at 1:35. This is Monstercat doing what Monstercat does when it’s on: a big electronic drop with enough melodic weight that it doesn’t feel...

Cartridge & Hypho - Feng Shui
Read more . . . →The sub on Feng Shui doesn’t drop so much as settle into the floor and refuse to leave. This is the deep, patient end of dubstep: no screaming mid-range, no festival-sized theatrics, just a bassline that moves like something big turning over in its sleep. Cartridge and Hypho both come out of the UK 140 scene where restraint is the whole flex, and this is a masterclass in saying less. There are maybe four elements in the entire track and every one of them is load-bearing. I put it on in the car and the door panels started buzzing at...

Solarstone - Solarcoaster (SUPERSTRINGS Emotional Rollercoaster Remix)
Read more . . . →Nobody flies the flag for pure trance harder than Solarstone, and “Solarcoaster” is him doing exactly what the name promises. The SUPERSTRINGS “Emotional Rollercoaster” remix leans all the way into the drama — sweeping supersaws, a breakdown that goes full uplifting-trance church around 3:00, and a build so long and patient it borders on cruel before it finally releases. This is old-school, unironic trance for people who never accepted that the genre went out of fashion, and the recent revival has proven them right. The lead melody is the star: simple, borderline naive, and it lodges in your head for...

Camo & Krooked & Mefjus - Redemption (feat. Joe Killington)
Read more . . . →This is the drum and bass collab I didn’t know I’d been waiting for. Camo & Krooked bring the widescreen melody, Mefjus brings the engineering-degree bass design, and somehow the two halves don’t fight each other. They take turns. Redemption opens like a Camo & Krooked tune, all cinematic pads and Joe Killington’s voice doing that ache-y thing he does, and then Mefjus’s fingerprints show up in the drop, which is tighter and nastier than either act tends to go alone. The bass at the first drop has a metallic edge that could only be his. What gets me is...

Rameses B - 3AM
Read more . . . →Some tracks are named after a time of night and don’t earn it; “3AM” earns it. Rameses B has been making this lush, emotional strain of electronic music for over a decade, and this is him in full comedown mode — soft piano-ish keys, a vocal that sounds like it’s confessing something, and a beat that stays deliberately low-key instead of exploding. The drop, if you can call it that, arrives around 1:50 as a warm wave rather than an impact, and it’s the right call: this isn’t a track for a peak-time crowd, it’s for the drive home after....

It's here again. Weekend two opens today.
Read more . . . →Gates open in Boom in a few hours and the second, better weekend of Tomorrowland is officially on. You either flew to Belgium or you’re doing what the rest of us are doing, which is refreshing the livestream at your desk and pretending to work. Either way the mainstage wants your hands in the air, so I’m not going to fight it. These four are the pure sundown-singalong anthems, the ones with no shame and no subtlety, and today is the one day of the year you’re allowed to love them out loud. 1.

Alex M.O.R.P.H feat. Sylvia Tosun - An Angel's Love (Ben Nicky & WUKONG Remix)
Read more . . . →An Angel’s Love has been a trance staple since the late 2000s, one of those Sylvia Tosun vocals anyone who spent time in a trance room can hum on command. Ben Nicky and WUKONG have taken it and dragged it into 2026 with zero sentimentality. The euphoric original is still in there, but now it’s strapped to a harder, faster, more psy-leaning engine. The vocal soars exactly where you remember it soaring, and then the drop hits with a bassline that’s got real aggression to it, built for a festival main stage at midnight rather than a candlelit trance basement....
