    Beatport New Releases

    Business As Usual return with Survive, a powerful collaboration with Rider Shafique on The North Quarter. The single offers the first glimpse off of The Agenda, a forthcoming four-track EP that explores a warmer, more soulful side of the collective while still keeping their sound firmly rooted in the dance floor. Built around a lush, evolving Rhodes progression, Survive carries a rich sense of warmth that perfectly frames Rider Shafique's unmistakable voice. His lyrics reflect on perseverance, gratitude and resilience, delivering a simple but powerful message about pushing through life's trials and remaining grateful for the journey. Underneath, a bubbling bassline and crisp drums glide through a beautifully balanced mix, while contemporary synth licks and musical flourishes keep the track playful and modern. The result is a soulful and uplifting cut that blends groove, funk and finesse. Written in part with The North Quarter in mind, The Agenda EP reveals another side to Business As Usual's sound. While still diverse and dance floor-ready, the project leans into a more soulful and musical direction that the collective sound completely at home exploring. Formed by producers James, Josh, Jo and Raf, Business As Usual is built on a shared creative vision, combining their strengths in sound design, arrangement and production to create music with purpose. Since launching the project in 2024, the collective has steadily built momentum with a string of releases that showcase their ability to balance musicality with energy for the dance floor. With Survive, the group reunite with Rider Shafique, whose voice also featured on their very first release. The collaboration feels like a natural continuation of that creative partnership, delivering a warm and uplifting statement that hints at an exciting new chapter for the collective.
