Renegade Riddims: KRASIA

KRASIA is a Drum & Bass trio that’s been turning heads since they came together at Cardiff University. Made up of producers, DJs, and MCs Bengo, Daisley, and Niss, they bonded over their love of music production and raving. In just a year, they’ve dropped tracks on labels like Pull Up Recordings (home to artists like Y U QT and Diffrent) and played killer sets at BOG Bristol and the 1,800-capacity O2 Academy Bournemouth. With 20,000 monthly Spotify listeners and their 2023 hit ‘Addicted’ smashing 272,000 streams, it’s clear these guys are on a roll.

In December 2024, KRASIA raised the bar with their single, ‘Nothing To Lose’, released on Dutch label Wobbles & Waffles. This one’s a proper banger, kicking off with a driving 4×4 beat before diving into choppy 2-step Drum & Bass madness. Packed with growling synths and euphoric vocals, it’s pure energy from start to finish. It’s the second release from Wobbles & Waffles—following Loboski’s huge debut ‘Take A Break’—and the track really nails the label’s vibe of pushing bold, creative sounds and shaking up the scene.

Their track ‘Better Now’, featuring BSEARL, is another standout, racking up 10,000 streams in just two weeks and showing off their knack for blending emotion with dancefloor energy. Whether it’s through their tracks or their live sets, KRASIA has a way of connecting with fans that makes them one of the most exciting new acts in Drum & Bass. With 2025 just kicking off, expect even bigger things from these guys in the months ahead.

Now, KRASIA join our Renegade Riddims series with a fresh new, highly energetic mix. Featuring tracks from artists such as themselves, Sub Focus, Dimension, Reaper, S.P.Y, Latte, Circadian & System F, Benny L & Shimon, 1991, Hoax and more this is one that’ll really get you moving!

Q&A:

Sum up this mix in 10 words…

Vibey drum and bass with catchy melodies and heavy dancefloor energy.

What’s your personal favourite track on it?

This is a tough one as we love every song included in the mix, and if we had to give an answer we couldn’t pin it down to just one song! It would probably have to be between Sub Focus – Rock it (Wilkinson Remix) or Andromedik – Stone. They’re both absolute bangers! 

In terms of our own music though, our personal favourite track would be our latest release ‘Nothing To Lose.’ It’s just released on the label Wobbles and Waffles and we couldn’t be happier with the response to it. It also features a nice crossover of dance floor drum and bass and 4×4. Overall, we’re very pleased with how it’s come out! 

What’s the special ingredient in this mix?

One of the main features of our sound is the crossover between 4×4 and melodic dance floor so it would probably have to be that. The mix is also filled with our own productions, so that also helps to make it unique! 

Tell us about your next release…

We’ve got lots of unreleased music that we plan to put out in the next couple of months, but our next release is a track with Denver called ‘Too Late.’ It’s a Camo & Krooked inspired melodic neuro track that we’re all buzzing with. Keep your eyes out for that one! 

What have you got coming up?

We’ve spent the last couple of months locked away in the studio making some of our personal favourite tunes yet. Expect to be seeing lots of releases from us this year! We’ve also got some exciting sets coming up supporting Andy C and Camo & Krooked at some of our favourite venues including the O2 academy in Bournemouth. 

When was the last time you actually raved?

We all go to raves pretty regularly, but the most recent one would probably be Warehouse Project in Manchester for Worried About Henry. The scale of that venue and the production there is seriously impressive! 

And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?

Thanks for checking us out, and stay tuned for lots of new music coming soon. We’ve got big plans, and if you’re dance floor drum and bass, there’s a lot to come that could be up your street! Lastly big ups to Data Transmission and Wobbles&Waffles for giving us the opportunity to showcase our sound!
