This Week on coldplaysucks — Aug 2–9
Read more . . . →Fifty-six tracks this week. House ran the board, DnB stayed relentless, and dubstep had an actual moment courtesy of some people I assumed had retired. A lot of ground to cover and most of it was worth covering, which is its own problem for a digest. Track of the Week Nero & Taiki Nulight - We’re Not Alone (ft. Emily Makis) Nero making dubstep again in 2026. That sentence alone would have been enough for this slot. “Welcome Reality” was the record half of us blew speakers to in the early 2010s, and hearing them lean back into that weight...

Where ICE Goes, Jobs Go Too
Read more . . . →Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent went on television this week and said the quiet part at volume ten: “Where ICE goes, rents go down.” That’s the sales pitch — deport your neighbors and your landlord might charge you less. What he left out: the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July. First negative payroll number in years. Healthcare hiring slowed to a crawl. Construction craters every time enforcement surges. For every six undocumented workers ICE pushes out of a community, one American-born worker loses their job too. That’s from economists studying payroll data in hundreds of cities. The jobs don’t get “freed...

Nero & Taiki Nulight - We're Not Alone (ft. Emily Makis)

Voltage, Yung Saber & Doktor - Buss One
Read more . . . →When did Hospital Records start putting out music this rowdy? “Buss One” is a long way from the label’s liquid-and-lovely reputation, a jump-up-leaning roller with Yung Saber and Doktor on MC duties that sounds built for a rig rather than a living room. Voltage handles the production and the bassline is a properly gnarly thing, growling and rolling in equal measure, the sort that pulls that involuntary screwface out of people. The MCs bring a raw, half-shouted energy that most polished dnb is too shy to include these days, and it’s the best call on the whole track. This is...

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,...

V. Christie - Say You Love Me
Read more . . . →The first thing you hear is a vocal sample flipped so hard it takes a second to register there’s a human under there, and that little disorientation is the hook before the actual hook arrives. V. Christie builds “Say You Love Me” around that chopped voice, pitching and stretching it until it’s basically another synth, and the effect is genuinely lovely — pop songwriting smuggled inside a dancefloor track. About a minute in the drums finally commit and it turns into a proper future-bass-leaning banger, all wide chords and a warm wobble sitting on the low mids. This is another...
