One Last Drop
Read more . . . →Luude has over a billion streams and your uncle still thinks DnB died in 2003. 1. Luude ft. Inéz - Never Adds Up Inéz’s vocal gets chopped and pitched and rearranged like luggage on a budget airline and somehow it still makes emotional sense. Luude’s whole move is taking drum and bass to stadiums and festival mainstages and making it work without sanding the edges off. The bassline is wobbly in a way that’s clearly designed for a crowd to lose their minds to, and then the vocal comes back in clean for the chorus and it hits different after...

Jungle Came Back and Brought Friends
Read more . . . →I’ve got two browser tabs open and neither one is work. One is a jungle EP from a speed garage producer. The other is Nia Archives’ second album. Both came out this summer. Both are the reason my neighbours now know what an amen break sounds like. 1. Conducta - Soundboy Johnny Rolling breaks, Reese bass that wobbles properly, and Conducta’s tag sitting right on top. His Soundboy Johnny EP came out on Nia Archives’ Up Ya Archives label in May, and the title track is three minutes of a garage producer making jungle without losing the swing from his...

Two Records, No Connection
Read more . . . →If you only have ten minutes today, spend them on these two. They share no DNA. One went number one in three countries, the other cracked Beatport’s top 100 from a label most people can’t name. Both of them own a piece of this summer from opposite ends. 1. Adam Port & Stryv ft. Malachiii - Move You hear this once in a bar and then it follows you home. Malachiii’s vocal sits on a rhythm that splits the difference between Afrobeats and melodic house, and standing still to it is physically unreasonable. It went to number one in Belgium,...

Five Lanes, Five Tracks: Your Summer Subgenre Primer
Read more . . . →When did the dancefloor split into five dancefloors? Sometime between June and now, electronic music stopped being one genre and became a whole continent. The Beatport charts look like a census. Every festival stage is its own country with its own dress code. Here’s one track from each lane the summer is running on, for anyone who keeps hearing names they can’t place. 1. Prospa & Cloonee - Free Your Mind Prospa’s live rig meets Cloonee’s low end and what comes out is four minutes of your brain stem being politely relocated. The vocal loop is two words and they...

Rollers: Drum and Bass for the Motorway and the Field
Read more . . . →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...

Summer Anthem Season: Five Tracks for Open-Air Stages and Bad Decisions
Read more . . . →It’s the last week of July, the sun doesn’t quit until nine, and every festival lineup you screenshotted back in March is happening somewhere without you. Fine. Here are five tracks built for open-air stages and the bad decisions that follow them, whether you make those decisions in a field or in your kitchen at midnight with the neighbours awake. 1. John Summit - Focus (feat. CLOVES) John Summit spent 2025 quietly turning into a stadium act, and this is the track that did it. CLOVES sounds genuinely wrecked on the hook, and when the low end lands around the...
