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...

This Week on coldplaysucks — June 7–14, 2026
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 25–31, 2026
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...

Read more . . . →We started keeping score. From now on the newsletter opens with what you actually played the most this month, not what we felt like hyping. No view counts, no dashboards — just the order, and from next week, who’s climbing and who’s getting bumped. Consider this the opening bell. The Charts The inaugural board. Everything’s a debut this week, so nobody’s been knocked off yet — that bloodsport starts next issue. AVE – Meet Me In The Dark — top of the very first chart. You have taste.

This Week on coldplaysucks — May 18-24
Read more . . . →28 tracks went up last week and the queue decided this was Indie Electronic Week. 7 of them. MRD had a one-man remix festival (4 entries). And out of nowhere, a Syrian dabke track snuck in and ate the whole thing. Track of the Week Omar Souleyman - Allishiryan This is the surprise. Nobody opens an electronic music blog expecting Syrian dabke and that is exactly why it is the pick. Omar Souleyman has been doing this for forty years and “Allishiryan” still hits like he just discovered the genre yesterday. Listen → The Breakdown Indie electronic (7 posts). It...

This Week on coldplaysucks — March 23-29
Read more . . . →188 tracks posted this week. That’s not a typo. Drum and bass absolutely ate — Logistics dropped a full album, Brookes Brothers reminded everyone they still exist, and What So Not decided to make DnB for some reason. It worked. Trance showed up strong at 26 posts and hardstyle kept doing hardstyle things. Let’s get into it. Track of the Week Leftfield feat. John Lydon - Open Up Johnny Rotten screaming over Leftfield. 1995. Still harder than 99% of what came out this week. The original blurb said it best — you only get to discover this one once. 36...
