This Week on coldplaysucks — July 5–12
Read more . . . →Sixty-odd tracks went up over the last week and the house crowd quietly ran the table, though drum and bass and dubstep were right behind it swinging. The recurring theme was old songs getting dragged somewhere they didn’t ask to go: a 1997 trance anthem turned into a trap crime scene, a 1972 afrobeat staple rebuilt as a peak-time house workout, and Vicetone’s “Nevada” flipped twice by two different people in the same seven days. If you like a producer robbing the past and getting away with it, this was your week. Track of the Week Da Hool - Meet...

This Week on coldplaysucks — June 28–July 5
Read more . . . →The low end ran the table this week — nine drum and bass tracks, seven dubstep, seven house of one flavour or another. Somewhere in the pile two ghosts from the ’90s wandered back onto the site: a Paul Oakenfold trance anthem from 1999 and a Detroit house record older than half the people who’ll dance to it. Good week to own a subwoofer. Bad week to have downstairs neighbours. Track of the Week Etherwood - Roam (ft. Lottie Jones) This is the liquid drum and bass that soundtracks the montage where the character finally sorts their life out —...

This Week on coldplaysucks — June 21–28
Read more . . . →Big week. House ran the table — tech house, deep house, disco house, the works — and for once I’m not mad about it. Drum and bass and dubstep split the heavy end down the middle, trance showed up to make grown adults cry on schedule, and somewhere in the mix a trance legend and a techno purist shared a Coachella stage and didn’t blow it up. Forty-one tracks. Not all of them are keepers, but the hit rate was better than it had any right to be. Track of the Week Armin van Buuren & Adam Beyer - No...

Read more . . . →Big week, and house ran it. We posted a pile of tracks and the four-on-the-floor crowd showed up deepest — tech house, soulful house, afro house, the works. Drum and bass kept pace right behind, trance refused to die, and somewhere in the middle a bunch of producers flipped songs that have no business still hitting this hard in 2026. Coldplay released nothing. The week improved accordingly. Track of the Week Sigma, Soul II Soul, Capo Lee & Zimma - BACK 2 LIFE (ft. Liv Campbell) Flipping “Back to Life” is a way to get yourself run out of town,...

Read more . . . →Sixty-two tracks went up this week and house ate most of the plate, which is very on brand for a blog that claims to love everything and clearly has a type. Drum & bass kept pace, the bass crowd got fed, and Hardwell apparently decided to move in. We didn’t change the locks. Here’s what mattered. Track of the Week Chase & Status - BADDADAN (KNOCK2 RMX) “BADDADAN” was already a UK jungle monster that refused to leave festival sets alone, so KNOCK2 dragging it across the Atlantic and rebuilding it for the American bass scene was always going to...

This Week on coldplaysucks — May 31 – June 7
Read more . . . →Drum and bass didn’t just win this week, it showed up to everyone else’s set and unplugged the gear. The liquid pile alone could fill a digest, and we still found room for an EDC hangover, a Basement Jaxx remix nobody saw coming, and Sully dropping a whole EP like it’s still 2014. House and the heavy stuff filled in the rest. Annoyingly good week. Track of the Week Hybrid Minds - Avalanche Liquid drum and bass gets written off as dinner-party background by people who have clearly never heard it loud. “Avalanche” is the rebuttal — the vocal sits...

Read more . . . →Sixty-three posts this week, which sounds excessive until you look at the list and realize the music was the one being excessive — we just kept up. DnB showed up like it had a meeting scheduled, trance quietly loaded nine entries while no one was watching, and SubDocta dropped three separate WAKAAN releases inside 72 hours. Not a light week. Track of the Week Sub Focus - Elevate (SOTA remix) SOTA took a solid Sub Focus track and made something better out of it. The bassline sneaks in patient before everything kicks off, and the drop around two minutes is...
