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...

Surreal - Inbetween
Read more . . . →Liquicity keeps surfacing stuff like this and I keep posting it. “Inbetween” is exactly what liquid DnB is supposed to feel like — that bassline rollout around the 1-minute mark is perfect.

Tian - Smooth
Read more . . . →Smooth is an earned title. Tian drops something here that lives up to its name without becoming boring — which is harder to do than it sounds in DnB where “smooth” often means “neurofunk with fewer sharp edges and twice the blandness.” This isn’t that. The track has a warmth running through it that feels intentional at every point. Shogun Audio has been putting out releases that sit at the more refined end of the spectrum for years, and Tian fits right in that space. The bass work in the low end here is particularly good — it rolls without...

Mutual - Where I Wanna Be
Read more . . . →Liquid DnB that actually has something to say. The vocal sits right in that pocket where it doesn’t oversell the emotion — just states it and lets the track breathe around it.

MXTR & Tyler Garrett - Disconnected
Read more . . . →Tyler Garrett’s vocals draped over a MXTR liquid DnB track, and yeah, this is exactly the kind of thing you stumble into on a playlist at 1am and then lose twenty minutes screenshotting the title and chasing down the artist. MXTR is a Chelmsford producer who came up with metal, trance and UK hardcore in his ears, which sounds like a recipe for something messy but actually explains a lot. There’s a euphoric, slightly anthemic streak running through his stuff that pure liquid heads don’t always reach for, and it gives “Disconnected” a lift most of this genre is too...

Logistics - Hyperspace
Read more . . . →Logistics doing what Logistics does, which is make a rolling bassline feel like the most natural law in the universe. That bass drops in around 40 seconds and never once lets you off the hook. Matt Gresham has been one of Hospital’s most reliable producers since he signed there back in 2004, and you can hear exactly why: the surface is smooth and melodic, almost polite, and then underneath it there’s this machine that just keeps turning over. “Hyperspace” leans hard into the dancefloor side of his catalogue, all bright synth hooks and a build that earns its payoff instead...

NCT x Genetics - More Than Enough (ft. Kazhi)
Read more . . . →Liquicity liquid DnB with a vocal that actually belongs in the production. Kazhi earns the credit — this sounds like it was written together, not added on top.
