Document One have been one of the most reliable names in drum and bass for years now, and Hold On Me is them doing exactly what they’re great at with zero wasted motion. This is dancefloor DnB built for maximum impact, all rolling drums and a bassline that switches up just often enough to keep you guessing. The vocal hook is sticky in that way that gets lodged in your skull for the rest of the day whether you want it there or not. What I appreciate about these two is they never overcomplicate things. The drop does what a drop should do and then gets out of the way. There’s a halftime breakdown in the middle that gives you exactly one bar to recover before snapping back to full pace. Document One understand that DnB is fundamentally a physical genre and they make tracks for actual bodies in actual rooms, not for the producers nodding along on YouTube. Hold On Me is going to wreck a few dancefloors this summer. Deservedly.
