#31 Feat. New Releases in Drum & Bass

Emergence marks Drumskull’s highly-anticipated return – a descent into the mechanical, Giger-esque heart of new-skool rave, inspired by the brooding, industrial atmospheres of science fiction’s darker corners. Opening with steppy breaks and dreamlike pads, the track builds tension before descending into a network of techno stabs and deep, pulsating subs. Tightly cut amens twist around wobbling, call-and-response basslines, while hardcore stabs slice through the mix with precision. Every sound feels purposeful – as if it were designed to pull you deeper into the void. Dark and deliberate, Emergence is rave as engineered by a technician: controlled chaos, executed with mastery.

Opening things up is Arkyn's dark yet soulful Jungle track 'Inna Dance', followed by upfront, pumping 4x4 banger, 'Reckless Daddy' by Minor Science & Seppa. Then comes in some Jungle from Deekline with 'Monkey Flip 'Em', before S.U.R.E. take the reins with their unique signature Rave sound on 'Touch Me'. Tim Clay joins the celebrations with the Rave-led, eclectic 2-step track 'Original Vibe', then suddenly Phorse enters with the potent Trance-tinted Techno power of 'Breaking'. 'Dublin Acid Crew' is a heavy dose of dextrous electronica & Acid from Sharpson & 2step.png, Outselect comes in with some bass-heavy 160 action on 'Dun Kno', and then of course we have Actual's glitchy, rolling, Footwork leaning 'Turn It Up'. Komai brings amen-power with 'Fill In The Blanks', swiftly followed by emotive, yet energy-fuelled Jungle on 'Ohm 1' from Walby. Lewis Aung switches it up with textured and dynamic House-led track D!AMONDS. Then, ending this journey through Rave we have a full Hardcore rinse-out on 'Hardcore Vendetta' by 'Squat Party'.
