DØMINA – Rockin It
The kick has almost nothing underneath it. DØMINA built the punch out of click and saturation instead of sub weight, so it never lands in your chest the way a big-room techno kick does. It goes for your ears … [Read More...]
Adam Swim – This Feeling
Adam Swim has spent five years putting out house singles on a schedule most producers cannot hold, one every few months since 2021, nearly all of them in the same lane. "This Feeling" does not break that pattern. It … [Read More...]
Paul Damixie & Melanie Fiona – Give It To Me Right (Now)
Universal and SRC put out Melanie Fiona's The Bridge in 2009, and the copyright line on this new single names the same two labels seventeen years later. Nice bit of paperwork. It is also the setup for Paul Damixie … [Read More...]

BUNS – ITCHTOPAY
BUNS is a Bay Area DJ who will run drum and bass into indie electronica in the same set, and she has opened for TOKiMONSTA and What So Not on the strength of that range. ITCHTOPAY spends none of it. Dim Mak took … [Read More...]
Killin’ Void – SABOTAGE
Vocal drum and bass usually uses the singer as a fuse. Light it in the intro, get clear, let the break handle the rest. SABOTAGE keeps sanna frankie in the room a lot longer than that, and Killin' Void builds the … [Read More...]
STELLA LEFTY – i know i know (SAiiLOR Remix)
STELLA LEFTY wrote a country song. Banjo, fiddle, pedal steel guitar, and a lyric about drinking with your friends until going back to your ex starts sounding like a reasonable plan. SAiiLOR kept her vocal and built … [Read More...]
