My old Drum & Bass playlist has nearly hit the 500 song limit, so it's time to start another one! Cheers!

Drum & Bass 2023+

Y2K saw the release of Total Science’s anthem ‘Champion Sound’ Hardcore Will Never Die remix. Lurching into a new millennium, with promises of system meltdown, the end of civilisation as we know it and all other sorts of madness, its dissonant and edgy feel captured the moment perfectly. And consequently it was almost impossible to go to a Drum & Bass rave and not have this soundtrack of 2000 pummelling your eardrums then, and also ever since. 

Seen as one of the defining tunes of the genre, it has now spawned it’s own spinoff series, ‘The Hardcore Will Never Die Years’ remixes. Promising several remixes of some of the duo’s most seminal tracks from the early 2000s, from some of the biggest and best producers in the scene currently, we can now be assured of a whole host of new dancefloor weapons. 

And starting the series in true style is Break, with his ridiculous remix of ‘Squash’. A massive tune in it’s own right, ‘Squash’ was always going to need a serious working over to be bettered; and if you could trust one man to do it, it would be Break. Keeping all the original elements, brining them up to 2022 standard and then injecting his own trademark to proceedings, we are now left with everything that is good about this music in Y2K22.

After the success of ‘Tempest’, which saw Calyx return as a solo artist for the first time in 15 years, we see him swiftly follow up with a brand new single which does not disappoint.

‘Pull Up‘ packs a punch – filled to the brim with clinical breaks and bass.

‘Feel The Sway‘ provides us with a more stripped back sonic soundscape, but still with that big sonic energy

Fan favourite Jaytech remixes Nourey & FOSTER’s ‘Meant To Be’, out now on Anjunabeats.

Egyptian-born, Boston-based musician Nourey is a rising star on the label. First picking up the guitar at ten years old, Nourey turned to music production; releasing on Elliptical Sun Recordings and AVA. Her unique blend of trance, house and jazz caught the ear of Above & Beyond, who played her debut single 'Skylar' on Group Therapy Radio in 2019. She soon crossed over to Anjunabeats, remixing Gabriel & Dresden and releasing 'In Motion' (with OLAN) and 'All Night' (with ZOYA). 

Last year, Nourey made her live debut at Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy Weekender festival in July 2022, earned a coveted spot on 1001Tracklist’s ‘Future Of Dance’ music in 2022, and dropped her debut EP on Anjunabeats, the ‘Meant To Be EP’. 

The five-track EP showcases Nourey’s diverse sound and influences, spanning progressive trance, ambient, deep house and breakbeat. Las Vegas-based singer/songwriter FOSTER also features, lending her vocals to ‘Meant To Be’ and ‘Free’.

Alongside her music career, Nourey is also a postdoctoral research fellow and manager of the Climate Change and Cities Program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She’s worked closely with AnjunaHQ on sustainability initiatives, including at Group Therapy Weekender, and has multiple academic awards and honours for her research. 

With over 40 releases across Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep, Jaytech (or ‘Jimbo’ as we affectionately know him) is a long-term friend of the Anjunafamily. He honed his ear as a label A&R for Anjuna HQ in the late 2000s. Now, he’s unearthing new talent on his long-running Jaytech Music mix show and sharing his wealth of production experience on YouTube. 

Jaytech has long been a part of the fabric of Anjunabeats - he has toured globally with A&B and was a studio engineer for the label. He has since gone to play Electric Daisy Carnival, Tomorrowland, Electric Zoo and more.

Nourey & FOSTER ‘Meant To Be’ (Jaytech Remix) is out now on Anjunabeats.

Within the depths of the mountains that bounded the known west lay an ancient monument, recently revealed by the retreat of a glacier that had once enveloped it. Upon its weathered surface were inscribed the runes of a forgotten language that imbued the surrounding area with weak but latent magic, calling silently to any living being that wandered into the valley within which it lay. Thus it was that twain wolves slept at the base of the monolithic structure, and thus it was that a pair of cowboys who had wandered far from home had come to stand before it as well.

Though none of the beings so inexorably gathered could read the inscription’s faded tongue, its message still rang resonantly within their souls, binding them to each other with the last of the stone’s stored energy. Within this pair of pairs, the broken bond between humanity and the beasts of the wild was restored, fostering a connection through which the will of the waystone’s creators was spoken for a final time. Filled with its sacred presence, the two cowboys tipped their hats to the wolves in honor before turning to each other in brief acknowledgment of their newfound purpose.

“Scruggs?”
“Yeah, Sonny Jim?”
“‘Seems we got quite the ride layin’ ahead. How’s about we get back in the saddle and get to it?”


BURR OAK unleash SYMBOLIC as the last single in the lead-up to the release of their debut album Somewhere We Belong. As a track pulled from the beginning of the album’s thematic journey, SYMBOLIC provides a guide to the full breadth of the sonics that Somewhere We Belong contains, replete with glittering cinematic arpeggios and blistering basslines alike.

Tom Finster - Nothing [Canopy Remix]

This is last major bit of lyric writing that I'd done. This song is about fear and hope for the future, and a self-referential conversation between myself and the hand of fate. I didn't think I'd ever put this tune out, but I think it has a charm to its simplistic production and feeling of growth and moving on. I hope you find it interesting to listen to.

BURR OAK mark a monolithic moment in their sonic journey with the release of their debut album, SOMEWHERE WE BELONG, which stands as the crown jewel of the two member’s careers as solo artists and as a duo alike. Packed with a mammoth 18 tracks that span the full breadth of the Neurofunk genre, SOMEWHERE WE BELONG sees BURR OAK deliver a definitive work set to cement itself well within the history of the genre.

BURR OAK’s own story is mirrored in the stories of their twin cowboy personas, Scruggs and Sonny Jim, whose escapades are expressed throughout the album’s tracklist and the tales that accompany it. Much like these two inseparable wanderers, BURR OAK’s two members, Niko and Julien, began their careers as solo artists before joining together to embark on their shared quest as BURR OAK. Longtime fans of Neurofunk will recognize each by their many other monikers. Niko has produced and performed variously as a member of the French Drum & Bass trio Signs, as half of the duo Cecil Hotel, and under his solo alias Opsen throughout his long career devoted to the pursuit of Drum & Bass’ most technical edge. By contrast, Julien’s journey under his solo alias The Clamps has seen him champion both cinematic soundscapes and the genre’s most extreme fringes, merging beauty and brutality within his music in equal measure. 
If this wasn’t a colorful palette of a career enough, they are also running another project with the also Toulouse based SKS – “Forum” which is also a heavyweight drum and bass project with a jungle/rave/oldschool twist. And to add a cherry on the top Julien runs Third Colony with Yan, an extravagant IDM/downtempo project.

As BURR OAK, these two prolific artists intertwine their sounds in an inexorable musical lattice, presenting a unified sonic profile that is more than the sum of its parts. This stylistic synergy thrives amidst SOMEWHERE WE BELONG, which details the story of BURR OAK both in fiction and as the producers they are today. The album’s title speaks to this, not only for the duo’s cowboy characters but for Niko & Julien as well. Beneath the branches of the BURR OAK, these titans of Neurofunk have truly found somewhere they belong.

This is the second single off my 5th album "The Second Renaissance" (listen to my album here: ffm.to/thesecondrenaissance )

A couple years ago I was finishing another album "The Path of Least Resistance". tiedye ky invited me to his house to finish up my mixdowns with him in his studio. We wanted to have a productive week together and didn't tell anybody I was coming to Philly, because normally that results in a bunch of fun with our friends and not getting any work done. Once I arrived, we immediately were feeling creative. Instead of working on my album, we started making new music. Before we knew it, we had written four ideas, including this track "Carousel". This whole song came together quickly, and the process was fun. It started with Kyle writing the drums and just absolutely killing it. Then he used his minilogue synth to make an arp, and we recorded a 15 minute take while we turned knobs on it. I spent a good amount of time piecing together the best parts until it became what you hear today. I made a wobbling bassline in Logic on the ES2 synth and bounced it out to Kyle's ableton project. Then I added some chords and melodies from the minilogue. Kyle sprinkled in some arcade vocals on top, and voíla. It was instantly one of our favorite songs we've ever made. It's been played out a lot by myself, tiedye ky, Wreckno, and more. We are so excited to get this one out and hope you all enjoy it as much as we did making it.
