Summer at 174 bpm hits different. Three drum and bass tracks for windows down, foot heavy, festival or motorway, whichever gets you there faster.
1. Sub Focus, Wilkinson - Air I Breathe
Sub Focus and Wilkinson have been doing this together for over a decade and they still make it sound effortless. Huge vocal, production so clean you could eat off it, and a drop that just rolls forward without ever showing off. This is the one for the last hour of a long drive when you need the car to feel like it’s flying.
2. Kanine - Bloodstream
Kanine has quietly become one of the most dependable names in the newer DnB wave, and Bloodstream is all momentum and no fat. The kind of roller that makes 174 feel like a cruising speed instead of a sprint. Put it on and watch your speedometer creep up without permission.
3. Hedex, Inéz - Beat On My Drum
Hedex makes drum and bass for people who think most drum and bass is too polite about it. Inéz hands it a hook you can actually sing, then the drop comes in and removes your spine entirely. It doesn’t want to be subtle and it isn’t, and that’s the whole appeal.
Get where you’re going in one piece. The house tracks are the last stop.
