Emily Makis and Lens join forces for their explosive new single, ‘Danger Zone’

Emily Makis and Lens have joined forces for their explosive new single, ‘Danger Zone’. As two of the most exciting female talents in Drum & Bass, they’re set to shake up dancefloors and festival stages with their high-energy sound. Packed with vibrant basslines, heavy drops, and relentless energy, this track is a sign of big things to come. Makis is kicking off a huge year after being named one of BBC Radio 1’s Future Stars for 2025, cementing her place as one to watch.

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.
