Felix - Don't You Want Me (Delta Heavy Remix)
Read more . . . →This is a remix of a rave anthem that’s been bouncing around dance music since before half the internet existed, and somehow Delta Heavy made it feel brand new. “Don’t You Want Me” as a hook is basically undefeated, so dropping it into a modern DnB frame was always going to be either lazy nostalgia bait or genuinely great. Good news: it’s the second one. Delta Heavy don’t slap the vocal over a beat and call it quits. They build real tension underneath it, let the melody breathe for a second, then detonate the whole thing on the drop. The...

Edlan & Benito Diablo - Healing ft. Ella Hammill
Read more . . . →Liquicity has been the gold standard for emotional DnB for over a decade, and “Healing” is a textbook example of why. Edlan and Benito Diablo build a warm, rolling liquid track and then hand it to Ella Hammill, whose voice does most of the heavy lifting and earns the title honestly. The song actually sounds like its name, which matters more than it should. The drums roll instead of stomp, the bassline glows rather than crushes, and the whole thing wraps around you like the first warm day after a long winter. I know “liquid DnB on Liquicity” is the...

Amplify & Emily Makis - Get It On
Read more . . . →Liquid-leaning DnB with an actual vocalist on top, and Emily Makis is the reason this one sticks to your ribs. Her voice does that thing where it sounds effortless while clearly being very hard to pull off, sitting right above Amplify’s rolling breaks without ever fighting them. The drums are crisp in a way that makes cheap earbuds embarrassing, so find decent ones before you press play. “Get It On” isn’t trying to reinvent the genre. It’s trying to be the track you put on at 1am when the party has thinned out to the people who actually care about...

Sub Focus - Elevate (SOTA remix)
Read more . . . →Sub Focus has been untouchable for a while, and this SOTA remix of “Elevate” confirms the legacy is still very much intact. The original was a solid track but SOTA found something in its bones, stripped it back, and rebuilt it with about twice the urgency. The way the bassline sneaks in at the top — almost patient — before everything kicks off is the work of a producer who actually knows what they’re doing. This is the kind of remix that doesn’t just recycle source material, it genuinely improves on it. The drop around the two-minute mark is the...

Aktive - Favella
Read more . . . →Third Liquicity cut in this batch and I promise the channel didn’t pay me, they’re just on an absurd run lately. Aktive’s “Favella” leans more uptempo and percussive than the usual liquid fare, with Brazilian-flavored rhythms woven through the breakbeat that give it a swing most DnB completely lacks. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to move in a way that isn’t just nodding your head like a tired raver. There’s real joy baked into the percussion, a brightness that pulls the whole thing forward. The bass stays warm and supportive rather than dominating, letting the drums...

DJ Marky & Makoto - It's Alright, I Feel It (ft. Vanessa Freeman)
Read more . . . →DJ Marky is basically a living institution at this point, and pairing him with Makoto and Vanessa Freeman on the hook is about as much pedigree as you can stack on a single DnB track. “It’s Alright, I Feel It” is exactly what you’d expect from Hospital Records — warm, liquid, impeccably constructed. Freeman’s vocal is the kind of thing that’s been genuinely missing from this sound for a while: full-throated and present, not just chopped into samples and buried under the mix. The production actually gives the voice room to breathe, which is harder than it sounds when you’re...

Zero T, Steo & Onj - Onslaught
Read more . . . →The title is accurate. Zero T has been making DnB for long enough that when he drops something with this much muscle in it, you just trust the process. Onslaught is dense, rolling, the kind of track that sounds like it’s accelerating even when it’s already at full speed. Steo and Onj bring the kind of collaboration energy that makes the track feel like three people actually worked on it together instead of just adding their names. Hospital Records doesn’t miss much, and this is another one they got right. The bass pressure throughout this is something you really need...

DAYNAMIX - Energy
Read more . . . →Viper Recordings has been a reliable source of high-octane DnB for years and DAYNAMIX fits the label aesthetic perfectly. “Energy” does exactly what it says — it comes in fast, stays fast, and doesn’t let up until it’s done. The drums are crisp and aggressive, the bassline hits exactly where it’s supposed to, and the whole thing has a forward momentum that’s hard to manufacture. DAYNAMIX isn’t going for anything subtle here and that’s completely appropriate, because subtlety is not what Viper releases are built for. This is a gym track, a dance floor track, a running-full-speed-to-miss-your-train track. The title...
