The Swedish duo, known for their work on New York Haunted, Another Earth, Echocord, and Shitkatapult, craft a bouncing, rubbery 303 bassline that evolves into a colossal, hypnotic groove. Their remix pulses with energy, maintaining the stripped-back, jackin’ essence of the original while injecting a dynamic, infectious acid flow perfect for late-night dancefloors.

This remix joins an eclectic selection of reimaginations from techno heavyweights, including Dustin Zahn, Lester Fitzpatrick, Chicago Skyway, Nuntius Noctis, and Black Mirror Park, each offering their own unique spin on Myles Sergé’s hypnotic and immersive original.

Leading the charge is ‘Detox’, a playful yet driving house cut built on a pulsating bassline and dynamic vocal interplay between a boy and a girl. The track unfolds with rich, atmospheric breakdowns before a funk-laden, guitar-like synth line injects fresh energy, locking listeners back into the groove. It’s deep, infectious, and brimming with character, showcasing Quenum’s knack for crafting hypnotic, late-night heaters.

With ‘Movement’ and ‘Give Me My Body Back’ rounding out the EP—delivering a mix of shuffling rhythms, nostalgic piano stabs, and trippy chopped vocals—this release is an essential selection for any DJ crate.

A producer with a growing catalogue of club weapons, Viv follows up his recent ‘Let It Roll’ EP on V55 Records and builds on a standout 2024 that saw him appear on labels like Altra Moda, Diynamic, and Insomniac. Known for his seamless fusion of driving rhythms, deep grooves, and nostalgic nods to classic Rave music, he continues to define his own lane in the Tech House scene.

‘The Funk’ is a masterclass in groove, offering an intricate blend of pulsating basslines, crisp percussion, and hypnotic synths. The track’s infectious energy is fuelled by rolling low-end movement and tight, punchy drum programming, creating a driving force that feels both raw and refined. Rave-inspired elements add an extra edge, ensuring its place in peak-time club sets.

R3WIRE takes the track into deeper, harder-hitting territory with a remix that dials up the intensity. By emphasising rolling percussion and deep bass pressure, he delivers a remix built for late-night sessions and underground spaces. While staying true to the essence of the original, this version adds a darker, heavier feel, offering a dynamic alternative for DJs who love weighty, groove-driven Tech House.

Translated Song Lyrics:

My head is covered in fog
Again, is it worth it?
Is this deception
To become history?

I’m hanging out,
After all, this song is not about us
And there are many such stories
And while I’m in heaven
You’re looking for meanings here in words
After all, this is a world of allegories

I’m so in love
That I don’t see the end
Although I understand with my mind,
That you don’t need me
And alone in the labyrinths
I play your games

My head is covered in fog
Again, is it worth it?
Is this deception
To become history?

And if there is no place for the soul
Then tell me, tell me honestly
And if there is no place for the soul
This is not love

Stacey’s musical journey began at age 9 with the flute in school bands, setting the stage for a lifelong connection to music. Inspired by the mid-1980s Detroit Techno movement and influenced by luminaries like Jeff Mills and Chicago DJs, he, along with friends, experimented with turntables, laying the foundation for his illustrious DJ career. From his debut gig in 1992, Stacey recognized the challenges and rewards of DJing. The release of his first track was under the moniker “Bango” on Derrick May’s Fragile Records. In 1993, Stacey moved to Amsterdam for more than a year and solidified his status as an innovative and influential figure in the techno landscape. In 1998, he continued his growth trajectory and started Blackflag Recordings featuring the future classic “Sweat”.

2024 was a breakthrough year for Makis—she performed as a special guest for Becky Hill at the OVO Arena Wembley, played Glastonbury, and delivered high-energy DJ sets across the globe. Now, her collab with Lens is set to push her even further as one of the leading voices in the scene.

Known for her dynamic sound and unmistakable vocals, Makis has become one of the most recognisable names in modern Drum & Bass. DJ Mag has described her voice as ‘heavenly’ and ‘enthralling’, and her toplines have defined some of the genre’s biggest anthems. While she grew up in Nottingham, it’s her Greek-Cypriot heritage that has shaped her unique, emotive style. Whether delivering poetic lyrics over liquid rollers or rave-ready anthems, storytelling is always at the heart of her music.

Wonderland – “Makis’ signature attitude, vigor, and vocal range complement Dux N Bass’ wild production flawlessly, creating an electrifying sonic experience.”

Daily Star – “Known for bangers such Phoneline and High Note, Emily has been cruising her way through the genre – popping up here, there and everywhere, whether it’s on a new collab or on a festival lineup.”

UKF – “Drum & Bass has been blessed with an onslaught of incredibly talented vocalists being thrown into the forefront of the genre in recent years. Nottingham-based Emily Makis is, without doubt, one of those who has made the most meteoric of impacts.”

Her rise has been unstoppable. She won ‘Best Vocalist’ at the Drum & Bass Awards, took home ‘Best Track’ at the Youth Music Awards, and was nominated for DJ Mag’s ‘Best Vocalist’. Her 2023 collab with Pola & Bryson, ‘Phoneline’, racked up over 20 million streams, and she co-wrote Becky Hill and Chase & Status’ massive hit ‘Disconnect’, which hit #6 in the UK charts.

As she continues to evolve, the next 12 months will see Makis exploring fresh sounds while staying true to her roots. With more releases, huge festival bookings, and a growing global following, this is just the beginning.

Leading the charge is the title track, ‘Without You’, a bouncy, groove-heavy cut that effortlessly balances driving stabs, rolling basslines, and atmospheric pads. Packed with rhythmic energy and a warm, immersive vibe, the track stays true to Dilby’s signature style, delivering club-ready momentum with a deep, refined touch.

With additional tracks ‘Stay True’—a fusion of tough drums, dubby percussive synths, and classic house grooves—and ‘Elevate’, which delivers a huge breakdown and Dilby’s trademark slinky deep house textures, the ‘Without You’ EP reinforces why the New Zealand-born, Berlin-based producer remains a mainstay in the underground scene.

‘The One You Love’ is a magically layered composition where pixelated melodies and diffuse pads drift over rolling beats, building tension and release with understated elegance. A delicate yet poignant vocal is the emotional core, gliding over shimmering percussion and spacious atmospheres. The result is a track that seamlessly bridges the introspective and the ecstatic—designed for late-night reflection and peak-time transcendence.

With his debut release on Get Physical Music, Sen Sanik continues to refine his deeply immersive approach, delivering yet another standout track in his growing discography.

His debut Drum & Bass album, ‘Aquasonica’, featured standout tracks like ‘Going On’ and ‘Liquid Blue’, earning both critical and commercial success. He followed up with releases like ‘Jungle Mind,’ ‘Massive,’ and ‘Sound Boy Killa,’ solidifying his place in the jungle scene. Most recently, BC#9 collaborated with Bristol-based outfit Paper Dragon on ‘Unity Gain’. Remixes of the track by Dope Ammo and Kravitz, and a version featuring Jasmine Knight’s vocals are set to drop soon.

Having spent time in the UK during the ’90s, BC#9 witnessed the rise of Jungle, Drum & Bass and Hardcore firsthand, falling in love with the sound and culture. This deep connection led him to establish DnB United Records, a platform dedicated to celebrating the art, culture, and evolution of Drum & Bass and Jungle worldwide.

Founded in 2013 as a hub for artist interviews, album reviews, and guest mixes, DnB United Records has grown into a team of industry professionals supporting releases across the scene.
