Drum & Bass: New Releases - May2025

Read by Caitlin Davies

For readers of This Is How It Ends and All the Bright Places, How We Ricochet takes an intimate and unflinching look into the devastating consequences of a mass shooting for one girl and her close-knit family, from Faith Gardner, acclaimed author of Girl on the Line.

It seems sometimes a charade that we continue celebrating in the face of relentless tragedy.

How dare we? But then . . . what else is there to do?

Betty’s mom needed new pants for her job.

That was why Betty was at the mall with her mom and sister when the shooting started.

Afterward, nothing is the same.

There are no easy answers to be found, and Betty’s search for them leads her to Michael, the brother of the shooter. But this path only shows Betty one thing: that everything she thought she knew—about herself, about the world around her—can change in a heartbeat.

A moving, powerful journey of life after tragedy, How We Ricochet is a fearless and necessary story for our time that will resonate with readers everywhere.

Title: Where Is The Moon? (In Orbit)
Release Date: 9th May 2025
Record Label: Evolution Chamber

Two of the most forward-thinking names in electronic music and key figures in the Evolution Chamber camp, Joe Ford and Task Horizon unite for a project that feels as ambitious as it is personal. ‘In Orbit’ — a four-part collaboration rooted in a chance conversation and fuelled by a mutual drive to explore new musical territory — invites listeners into a world of precision-engineered sound design, cinematic storytelling, and creative freedom.

The series begins with “Where Is The Moon?”, a track that sets the conceptual and emotional tone for what’s to follow. Featuring an exceptional vocal performance from The Velvet Effect, this first chapter is anything but typical. Opening with a bed of atmospheric textures, the track establishes a mood that feels expansive yet intimate — before The Velvet Effect’s vocals gradually emerge, adding depth and narrative weight that elevates the entire composition.

As the track unfolds, tight, stop-start melodic phrasing acts as the engine room, creating a feeling of suspension and anticipation. These intricate structures — paired with The Velvet Effect’s haunting delivery — guide the track into a beautifully restrained yet powerful drop. It’s a moment that feels less like a peak and more like a shift in dimension, marking the beginning of a larger journey through sound.

‘Where Is The Moon?’ is the gateway into ‘In Orbit’ — a thematic body of work built on trust, experimentation, and a deep understanding of each other’s musical language. Both Joe Ford and Task Horizon bring their unmistakable styles to the table, but it’s in the space between where something truly special happens: a sense of shared authorship that allows each producer to shine without compromise.

This project also marks a significant moment for Evolution Chamber — now five years strong — as it continues to evolve into a home for ambitious collaborations and innovative electronic music. ‘In Orbit’ doesn’t just showcase the talent of those involved; it sets the stage for something much bigger.
