Following the success of his recent Metalheadz release Ventil-8, John B returns with a bold, cinematic Drum & Bass statement on his own Beta Recordings imprint. Enter the spellbinding world of “Hypnotize” – a track that fuses rave energy with widescreen, cinematic ambition.

“Hypnotize” opens with a monumental intro – lush, Jarre-inspired synths swell into a towering Messiah-like choir, underpinned by the low growl of a rising reece bassline. The atmosphere is electric, loaded with anticipation, culminating in a chilling female war-cry scream, evocative of Dune-era Hans Zimmer – powerful, otherworldly, and emotionally charged.

As the drop hits, John B launches into a relentless stepper, driven by heavyweight drums, rolling classic breaks, and a hypnotic pulse. Laced through the track are Middle Eastern and Indian horn and flute samples, adding a rich, mystical texture to the soundscape. A spoken female vocal – “Hypnotize” – punctuates the rhythm, locking the listener into a deep trance.

At its core is a soaring, anthemic synth motif – a nod to the spirit of early rave but reframed through a futuristic, cybernetic lens. It’s the sound of a future warehouse dream – raw, emotional, and utterly immersive.

“Hypnotize” is unmistakably John B – fearless, genre-defying, and laser-focused on the dancefloor, yet executed with a cinematic elegance few can match.

John B continues to build momentum in 2025 with high-energy Twitch DJ streams, headline live shows across Europe, and the successful launch of his Patreon community – offering fans early access to content, exclusive music, and mic-free DJ set recordings. With Hypnotize, he proves once again that he’s not just pushing Drum & Bass forward – he’s elevating it.

After 12 years out of the game, Future Signal are back and not just with new music. We’re launching a brand-new label: Cognition Records. Keeping things simple, keeping things rolling, keeping things raw the first release is coming!

This first release had to be our own FS dubs and we bring you two absolute weapons: Plot Hole and Shadow Pursuit.

First up, Plot Hole—this one’s all about the drop, but winds through eerie atmospherics before slamming you straight into a precision-engineered banger. Razor-sharp drums, deep, rolling bassline, and that unmistakable Future Signal energy. A proper stomper.

On the flip, Shadow Pursuit builds like a chase sequence in a cyberpunk nightmare. It starts, stalking and deliberate, then suddenly it breaks into a chase through a neon-lit cityscape. Synths slice through the mix, the bass surging at full throttle. This one is all about momentum, paranoia, and pure adrenaline.

The wait is over. The label is here. It’s time to go back… back to the Future Signal. COGN001 is coming on Friday 2nd May—don’t sleep on this one!

The most requested track of the last year or so from our sets is finally here!    

'Inner Sanctuary' captures the raw energy and soul of the early rave days. From nights spent at The Sanctuary in Milton Keynes and illegal raves, where so many of us were first exposed to a collective consciousness. Futuristic, raw, unapologetic: this is us recreating that energy.
