There is always a strong festive energy that takes over the streets of London at the end of every August, especially as we celebrate a remarkable 60th anniversary of Notting Hill Carnival this year. Honestly, there is nothing quite like it. In the weeks leading up to the bank holiday weekend, the entire city comes […]
A whole calibre of wicked and wild things can happen in 6 years. For Objectiv, it’s brought an abundance of change. Marriage, a baby on the way, a move away from Bristol and – perhaps most importantly – a completely new approach to how he makes music. The result? A relaxed Objectiv with a super […]
After a five year hiatus, Dilemma is back. When she took a step back from the scene after her last release in 2020, she felt like she lost the spark of making music and knew something had to change. Years later, when going through her old hard drive from 2013, she rediscovered her love for […]
There are plenty of ways to promote a drum & bass single. A video. A remix competition. A moody photoshoot involving some concrete and some kind of hat. T & Sugah, however, have apparently decided that what “Winner” really needed was something that you could win. The outcome; a racing game. The concept of racing, […]
Canada has given bass music some pretty decent cuts of the years. Some of it obvious, some of it is hiding in plain sight, and some of it no doubt deserves a bit more attention. Toronto-born, London-based Bensley has gone digging through the country’s musical cupboard to pick out the producers who continue to inspire [
For Grace, music has always been more about what happens in life than what happens in the studio. Now the driving force behind her latest project, homesick, Grace is carving out a world that blends the energy of D&B with indie, bringing people together through her angelic voice and deeply personal approach to storytell
With his latest project, What So Not is going back to his roots. It feels like both a look back at his own journey and a fresh take on the 2010s trap and bass era that completely changed electronic music worldwide. Being right in the middle of the original wave, What So Not helped build […]
HLZ is proof that in drum & bass, longevity isn’t measured by how quickly you reach milestones, but by knowing exactly when the time is right to reach them. The Italian DJ and producer has spent the best part of two decades quietly building one of the genre’s most respected catalogues, but despite a back […]
There are worse ways to spend a week than disappearing into the Romanian countryside with a bunch of drum & bass producers, vocalists and other generally sleep-deprived creative types. Now entering its third chapter, Echoes III will take place from 11–18 September in the Transylvanian village of Breb, Maramureș, bringi
Detox Unit has released 27 songs, five projects, and played over 150 shows. He’s sat down for exactly zero interviews. Until now. On August 21, 2026, Detox Unit released the Schematic EP (although fans were able to grab it a bit earlier through an exclusive Bandcamp drop). It’s been three years since his last official
“There is no story that is not true. The world has no end, and what is good among one people is an abomination with others.” In Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe explored cycles: how societies change, how old structures collapse, and how failing to adapt can leave communities behind. Music journalism has lived through t
My whole philosophy with producing is to keep things simple, and my set up reflects that. Most of the time I just make music on my laptop and headphones wherever I am, at home on the couch, on my bed or while I’m travelling. When I pull myself off the couch and lock in at […]
