MatricK - Can't Stop Us Now
Read more . . . →Revealed Recordings is Hardwell’s house, which usually means festival fireworks engineered to detonate at exactly the right second for the drone footage. MatricK plays that game but doesn’t sound like he’s reading the manual. Can’t Stop Us Now front-loads a vocal that should be corny and somehow isn’t, then drops into a lead that’s all teeth. I went in expecting the usual big-room paint-by-numbers and got something with actual snarl in the low end. The kick hits like it has a grudge. There’s a moment around the second drop where the whole thing tightens up and you realize he’s been...

WAKE & Luma - In The Dark
Read more . . . →Dim Mak still operating in 2026 is its own small miracle, and “In The Dark” from WAKE and Luma is a reminder the label can still find producers with teeth. This sits in that bass-house pocket where the groove is sleek but the drop has bite, a moody little number that earns its title. The vocal is processed into a ghost, more texture than message, floating over a bassline that prowls. I like that it doesn’t oversell. There’s a temptation in this genre to pile on the screeching mid-range until everything sounds like a malfunctioning robot, and WAKE and Luma...

SUPERSTRINGS - NEON DUSK PROTOCOL
Read more . . . →A track called “NEON DUSK PROTOCOL” in all caps is making promises, and SUPERSTRINGS mostly keeps them. This is full-fat trance, the kind with a soaring lead that aims straight for the back of an arena and a breakdown built to make 10,000 people put their hands up at once. We’ve been light on trance lately, which is a shame, because when it hits right there’s nothing else quite like that euphoric rush. The build here is textbook in the best sense, tension stacked patiently until the release feels earned rather than cheap. SUPERSTRINGS clearly grew up on the Armada...

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...

feelslikeimfallinginasleep: Two Years Later
Read more . . . →Two years ago today, Coldplay released “feelslikeimfallinginlove.” A song title with no spaces, like they tried to register a domain name and gave up halfway through. It still sucks. This was the lead single off Moon Music, the moment Chris Martin decided the band’s real problem was too many spaces in the track titles and not enough four-on-the-floor thump lifted off a 2014 festival main stage. It’s the sound of a man who heard dance music once, through a wall, and tried to rebuild it from memory. The title was honest about one thing, just not the verb they picked....

This Week on coldplaysucks — June 14–21
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,...

Far East Movement & The Cataracs ft. DEV - Like A G6 (Manila Killa Remix)
Read more . . . →Okay, this one’s a genuine surprise. Manila Killa took Like A G6, the 2010 club anthem that everyone pretended to hate and secretly loved, and rebuilt it as a drum and bass track. On paper that should be a disaster. In practice it absolutely rips. The original’s hook is so embedded in a certain generation’s brain that hearing it over rolling DnB drums creates this weird time-travel feeling, like your high school memories got remastered. Manila Killa is smart about it too. He doesn’t lean entirely on nostalgia, he actually flips the energy into something that works on a current...
