  1. News Welcome to February’s edition of the UKF Monthly Round-Up! Another month down, and bass music continues to thrive as we head deeper into 2025. Let’s dive into some of the biggest moments from the last few weeks. First up, we had some big news of our own—UKF was nominated for ‘Best Record Label’ at the Radio 1 Dance Awards! It was an absolute honor to be on the shortlist alongside some of the biggest and best in the game. Massive congratulations to Defected for taking home the win, and even bigger big ups to every single one of you who voted for us. Your support means the world! Elsewhere in the industry, a major step forward for London’s nightlife has been announced. Mayor Sadiq Khan has unveiled the city’s first-ever Nightlife Taskforce, an 11-person team set to tackle challenges and opportunities in the capital’s nighttime economy. Among those appointed are fabric cofounder Cameron Leslie (chair of the group), Pxssy Palace founder Nadine Noor, Colour Factory founder Nathanael Williams, and NTIA CEO Michael Kill.

Festival season is already making moves—Boomtown Festival has been granted permission to increase its capacity by 11,000 attendees, bringing the total to a staggering 80,000. Known for its immersive storytelling and diverse lineup, Boomtown has assured fans that safety, traffic, and environmental concerns have been addressed, paving the way for an even bigger and better experience in 2025. If you weren’t already hyped for this summer, now’s the time! The bass community was hit with heartbreaking news this month as we said goodbye to grime pioneer Terror Danjah. A true innovator, his intricate production style helped shape grime and UK bass music as we know it today. His influence extended far beyond the genre, leaving an undeniable mark on the electronic music landscape. Peers and fans alike have paid tribute, remembering his legacy and celebrating the groundbreaking work he created. Rest in power, Terror Danjah. On a more personal note for the scene, beloved drum and bass MC Ben Verse shared an update on his health journey. After being diagnosed with acute monoblastic leukemia in 2024, he was finally discharged from the hospital after 208 days. In an emotional Instagram video on February 17, the former Pendulum member expressed his gratitude to fans, saying, “It means a hell of a lot… I can’t thank you enough.” A true warrior. The bass community continues to stand with him, sending strength and love every step of the way. That’s a wrap for February! With festival announcements, industry wins, and inspiring comebacks, 2025 is already shaping up to be a massive year for bass. See you next month for more! Tracks Zero – West End Wobbler Ant Mulholland Zero’s significant rise in the global bass scene has seen the British producer churn out some of the most authentic bass rhythms of our generation. “West End Wobbler” is a nod to his love for dubstep, laying down a real marker for future endeavours. It’s rigid bass and high pitch tones created a frenzy of face-melting euphoria that will undoubtedly send shivers of reverberation through the dance floor. Keep an eye out for similar flavours courtesy of Zero. Napes- Shooter Hill ft. Snowy Sagar Deshmukh If you’re looking for a prime example of an artist’s rise from underground talent to a true innovator, Napes is the name to watch. Emerging onto the scene in late 2020, Napes quickly made waves with his Gunner Chopper EP, showcasing a unique ability to push the boundaries of drum & bass and jungle music. His futuristic approach to the genre has not only redefined its possibilities but has also cemented his status as a true genre bender, blending traditional elements with cutting-edge production techniques. His ability to blend razor-sharp sonics with an unmistakable club aesthetic has positioned him as a true genre-bender. After consistently delivering a string of releases across 2022 and 2023, his defining moment arrived in 2024 with his debut on Shall Not Fade, dropping the Wavelord Bizniz EP alongside Samurai Breaks. This four-track release was a masterclass in high-energy club music, balancing intricate drum programming with cutting-edge sound design solidified his reputation as one of the most exciting names in the game. This momentum carried him straight into the orbit of Alix Perez’s 1985 Music, where he unleashed the Shooters Hill EP—a release that further solidified his place at the forefront of the jungle and drum & bass. The title track alone encapsulates everything Napes represents: a seamless fusion of old-school jungle vibes with a forward-thinking, futuristic edge. Teaming up with MC Snowy, one of the UK’s most innovative vocalists, Napes has delivered a tune that effortlessly blurs the lines between old-school jungle foundations and new-school energy, creating a certified dancefloor weapon. The entire Shooters Hill EP follows this trajectory—futuristic, boundary-pushing, and unapologetically bold. With his ability to deliver music that resonates with both purists and forward-thinkers alike, it feels like this is the year when Napes’ dedication to creativity and consistency will be rewarded with another groundbreaking year in 2025. Mixes RENEGADE RIDDIMS: Emerald Lotus on Data Transmission Sagar Deshmukh Two-hour-long mixes have become a rarity, but when executed with care and precision, it offers listeners a deep and immersive insight into an artist’s sonic vision. Bristol-based multi- genre producer Emerald Lotus has achieved this with remarkable finesse, delivering a mix that feels both expansive and meticulously crafted. Reflecting on the mix, Emerald Lotus emphasised that every track was chosen with purpose—there are no “disposable” tunes here. Instead, each song is given space to breathe, creating a natural flow that transitions effortlessly between genres like drum & bass, garage, UKG, and glitch hop. Mantra w/ MC Blackeye @ The Cause // Genesis 25 x Worlds Collide courtesy of Killahertz Ant Mulholland The Genesis 25 meets Worlds Collide event was a real staple for the community and stealing the show was something very special.

  3. As a dance music producer, knowing when your track is truly finished can be a challenge—there's always room for refinement. But if you ever find yourself unsure of how to elevate your song, asking John Summit to remix it will reveal the answer. In his latest dancefloor-ready jewel, the house music superstar put an electrifying spin on "Hypnotized," Anyma's high-profile collaboration with Ellie Goulding. Out today, the official remix transforms an atmospheric journey into a full-fledged club weapon, amplifying the original's ethereal sound with his signature high-energy grooves. Summit's remix retains the emotional core of Goulding’s airy, captivating vocals but reimagines Anyma's dark, minimalistic production into a relentless house framework. His ability to balance tension and release without letting the energy wane reinforces his reputation as one of today's most in-demand remixers. The release of his "Hypnotized" remix arrives at a pivotal moment, aligning with Anyma's final residency performances at the groundbreaking Vegas Sphere. Adding to the anticipation, Summit himself is set to perform just before Anyma’s final show on March 2nd, ensuring that fans will experience this reimagined anthem in a larger-than-life setting.

  4. One of the most highly anticipated IDs in bass music has finally arrived, "System Shock," a seismic collaboration between Subtronics, Hedex and IRAH. Out now via Helix Records, the track was first unleashed on audiences across the country during Subtronics' 2024 US tour, for which Hedex provided direct support, before becoming a fan-favorite weapon in their DJ sets. A word to the wise: if you're listening on your own sound system, make sure your speakers can handle the shock because this track delivers it in full force. A filthy fusion of their distinct styles, "System Shock" is an all-out bass onslaught from start to finish. The energy kicks in immediately as the unmistakable vocals of IRAH—perhaps best known for his work on Chase & Status' global drum & bass hit "Baddadan"—cut through a storm of rising brass notes, building tension from the outset. The first drop then plunges us into a frenzy of drum & bass consistent with the trademark style of Hedex, who was named to the EDM.com Class of 2024 last year. However, Subtronics' influence is undeniable, as his growling sound design weaves through the chaos. IRAH barely has a moment to catch his breath because as soon as that sequence reaches its conclusion, the tempo shifts dramatically, hurtling us towards the track's second climax. This time, earth-shaking dubstep takes hold in the form of a destructive drop all too familiar for fans of Subtronics. Wobbly, distorted waves of bass crash against IRAH's deep, rhythmic cadence, delivering an explosive contrast. Listen to "System Shock" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

  7. The world first caught a glimpse of Armin van Buuren and Jon Bon Jovi's "Keep the Faith" nearly a year ago at Ultra Music Festival, when the legendary rocker himself stormed the stage to debut the track alongside van Buuren. Now, almost a year later, the full-throttle collaboration has arrived. Released via Armada Music, the track marks both an unexpected collision of two music titans and a testament to both of their legacies. Armin van Buuren approached the project with reverence, knowing the weight of what he was about to reimagine. "Reworking this track was an incredible honor on its own, but having Jon Bon Jovi join me on stage at Ultra was a once-in-a-lifetime moment," he said in a press release shared with EDM.com. "Rock music has always inspired me, and I’ve been a Bon Jovi fan for ages, so this was truly special." The original "Keep the Faith," a defiant rallying cry released in 1992, was built on towering guitar riffs and Bon Jovi’s signature blue-collar grit. But it transforms in van Buuren’s hands, glowing with an incandescent trance undercurrent. The trance icon himself is no stranger to dance music reinventing some of rock's most storied classics—his 2019 remix of Van Halen’s "Jump" previously proved that guitar-driven classics could thrive under the weight of festival-grade synths, and his latest is no exception.

  10. Back in 1990, when neon windbreakers were must-have fashion items, Black Box unleashed "Everybody Everybody" on unsuspecting dancefloors. Three decades later, Jake Shore and Rich DietZ are proving that good house music—like Nintendo consoles and Home Alone—only improves with age. Now back for a victory lap, the house track that once competed with MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice for radio play has found new life in the skilled hands of Shore and DietZ, two of the genre's most promising acts. "Everybody" is out now via Tchami's influential house label Confession, the perfect platform for a track that bridges the gap between Clinton-era rave culture and today's festival circuit. They've done what countless producers have attempted but few have achieved: resurrecting a dance classic without sacrificing its soul. The iconic organ riff and rousing vocals that once blasted from boomboxes and car stereos have been meticulously reengineered and spliced through a pumping four-on-the-floor beat. All said and done, the track is a testament to house music's cyclical nature and enduring appeal. Much like how Doc Martens never truly went out of style, "Everybody" proves that some classics deserve their second act. You can listen to the new single below and find it on streaming platforms here.

  11. Love and destruction become indistinguishable in "Deadly Valentine," a new collaboration from Layton Giordani and Bart Skils. A love letter to techno dipped in venom, the track is out now via Adam Beyer's Drumcode. It's the latest anthem from Giordani, who was recently named to the EDM.com Class of 2025. Like poison disguised as perfume, "Deadly Valentine" intoxicates before it kills. With propulsive yet haunting production, the track feels both deadly efficient and passionately crafted, a valentine to techno's dark, pulsing heart. What elevates "Deadly Valentine" is its brilliant tension-and-release structure. Floating above the mix like whispered threats, the track's haunting vocals imbue an eerie sense of anticipation that borders on discomfort before delivering its satisfying drop. Meanwhile, the production from Giordani and Skils is relentless, namely its chugging bassline, which drives the arrangement forward forward with unstoppable momentum. But they masterfully show restraint, knowing exactly when to add layers and when to strip elements away. Listen to "Deadly Valentine" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

  12. The recursive loop of memory finds its perfect soundtrack in RIOT's new single, "Everynight." Out now via SLANDER and NGHTMRE's Gud Vibrations imprint, the drum & bass track delivers exactly what longtime fans have come to expect from the duo: a technically impressive arrangement that balances emotional weight with dancefloor functionality. While it won't reinvent the genre, "Everynight" showcases RIOT's continued evolution through a song designed for both headphone introspection and peak-hour club deployment. The duo's production stands out immediately as their crisp percussion cuts through a warm bass foundation, creating that signature tension between mechanical precision and organic warmth. RIOT demonstrate their veteran status with a masterful build that rewards patient listeners with a euphoric drop. Lyrically, "Everynight" explores aching memories and longing: "I've been thinking about you all the time / Memories of you I can't rewind." That simplicity works in its favor, with the repeated refrain "Every night, every day" functioning as both hook and emotional anchor.

  13. Some tracks shake the floor, but some, like Schuz’s "What We Do," rip it out from under you. The new single is the latest banger from the Pacific Northwest-based DJ and producer, whose aim, he says, is to push the boundaries of modern bass music. Continuing to carve out his space in the scene, his new single is proof that filth and finesse aren't mutually exclusive. "What We Do" opens with eerie, fluttering arpeggios that set an ominous tone. Schuz then uncorks a heavy and unrelenting drop, where textured bass slithers through the mix with an almost reptilian quality and crisp snares thwack like well-placed gut punches. Every element feels deliberate, from the snarling low end to the nimble percussion that keeps the momentum razor-sharp. For fans of bass music that thrives on grit and groove, the track doesn't just rely on brute force, balancing tension and release with surgical precision. Schuz avoids the pitfalls of overstuffed sound design, letting each element breathe without sacrificing impact. Listen to "What We Do" below.

  14. Emerging enigmatic duo LMNT 115 returns with their highly anticipated second single, “Holding Onto Us,” featuring the electrifying vocals of Brando (known for the global hit “Body” with Loud Luxury from 2017). Out on February 28 via their own imprint Quasar Music, the new record is a dynamic blend of deep and groovy melodies, soulful topline, and an uplifting piano riff that takes center stage of the song’s well-thought-out structure. Euphonious instrumentals weave through the mix, while rhythmic basslines inject a dancefloor-oriented energy, making “Holding Onto Us” an instant hit for radio airwaves and high-energy festival sets alike. Following the massive success of LMNT 115’s debut single, “Close to You,” featuring Sadie Rose Van, which is nearing 1.5M streams on Spotify and 800K views on its music video, LMNT 115 is set to become one of the most intriguing new acts in dance music in 2025. “Want to know the future? Just look into the past. ‘Holding Onto Us’ is about that true soul connection you have with a person. No matter how much time passes or if people are against it, your connection remains, you stay tethered for life, as long as you keep holding on.” – LMNT 115 “It was great working with the guys on this record, they are amazing collaborators! I feel like we were really able to capture that feeling of summer love” – Brando Mysterious yet magnetic, LMNT 115 is a newly formed producer duo shrouded in secrecy, known for their custom-designed animated personas rather than revealing their real identities. The project officially launched on November 15, 2024, the same day they released their debut track and has since captivated audiences with its futuristic aesthetic and cinematic storytelling. The duo consists of Z – the charismatic songwriter, and Fab – the quiet yet brilliant producer, drawing inspiration from Anime/Manga, AI, cyberpunk cityscapes, and resilience against adversity to create a world as compelling as their music. Their name, derived from Element 115, a theorized otherworldly fuel material, symbolizes the undeniable creative force that has driven them since childhood. Sonically, they stand alongside artists like Marshmello, MEDUZA, Calvin Harris, and Loud Luxury, while their artistic vision echoes the likes of Gorillaz. With an unprecedented debut single, a growing presence, a bold creative direction, and more singles scheduled for release later this year, LMNT 115 is carving out a space where music and immersive storytelling collide.

It is the second track to be released from his upcoming EP titled ‘Flectere’. The track is in collaboration with Parallel Voices & Lake Silver (the alias of Grammy-nominated songwriter, Richard Walters). Earlier, he had announced his much-awaited North America tour. Scheduled to kick off in March 2025, the tour will be spanning seven cities across the continent. Blending moving vocals with an effortlessly deep house groove, the ‘Healing’ embodies resilience in uncertain times. Groovy basslines, jacking drums, and warm piano chords lay the foundation of the track, with emotive strings and shimmering synths elevating the overall atmosphere. As the song progresses, an acid-tinged synth line injects energy, leading into a euphoric second drop that’s both powerful and uplifting. Parallel Voices is one of India’s brightest young talents and when he sent me a few instrumental demos to work with I jumped at the opportunity. I picked out the ‘Healing’ instrumental, worked with the arrangement, drums and synths a bit and then sent it over to Lake Silver for writing a vocal. He sent back this incredibly uplifting vocal idea and we instantly knew it was the one! The best collaborations are the quickest ones and this was a dream to work on ANYASA ON ‘HEALING’ Anyasa is also bringing his third successive North America tour in three years.

  17. Following up last month’s hit ‘Road Runner’, Loco Dice returns with his latest single ‘Ice Cold Dealer’, featuring rap-legend Haftbefehl. Out today via Virgin Records, this collaboration marks a significant intersection of Loco Dice’s pioneering techno and hip-hop roots, alongside Haftbefehl’s iconic status in the German rap scene.Bringing together two heavyweights from their respective genres, ‘Ice Cold Dealer’ is a testament to their deep influence on Germany’s contemporary music landscape. With a string of successes and an impressive lineup of collaborations, this track is just a glimpse of what’s to come in Dice’s massive year ahead. Listen here. Returning to his early roots, ‘Ice Cold Dealer’ highlights Loco Dice’s signature blend of tech-house and hip-hop influences. Having started as a hip-hop DJ in the early ‘90s, Dice developed a keen rhythmic instinct that later shaped his distinctive techno sound. This time, he teams up with Haftbefehl—renowned for multi-platinum hits like 069 and RADW—to craft a high-energy club anthem. The track kicks off with minimalist production, layered with Haftbefehl’s raw, unmistakable vocals, before diving into a deep 808 bassline that pulses beneath crisp claps and dynamic frequencies. By tapping into the gritty energy of 2000s party anthems and UK garage influences, Dice and Haftbefehl have created yet another surefire club hit with Ice Cold Dealer. ‘Ice Cold Dealer’ provides a fresh taste of Loco Dice’s upcoming project, Purple Jam, which will be the German DJ/producer’s fourth studio album. This track marks a significant moment in the artist’s evolving sound, with more exciting collaborations on the horizon.

  19. Last year saw Elohim drop her astonishing ‘Power of Panic’ album which earned critical spotlights in Rolling Stone, Billboard, and The New York Times while also captivating her fans with the journey she created through the album. After already receiving an incredible reception to ‘Power of Panic’, she has now expanded upon this powerhouse of an album by releasing the ‘Deluxe Edition’ featuring 4 new tracks. The first new element is an interlude in ‘Scratch My Brain’ which is a short, simple, and yet satisfying soundscape which continues the steady calming in energy from ‘The Call.’ This leads into an utterly beautiful cover of AWOLNATION’s defining anthem ‘Sail’ which offers a unique and personal take on a classic that further diversifies the sonic journey of ‘Power of Panic.’ These additions make for a well-integrated change in energy for the first half of the album and add more emotional depth through their style and lyrics. Later in the album we meet ‘Patience’, an unsettling track intended to reflect anxiety’s relentless hold which is achieved expertly through the glitchy sounding vocals and sudden switches between different sounding synths. Having the verses being moments of calm in the song further elevate the impact of the chorus’ which is something Elohim does extremely well across the whole album. The final addition to ‘Power of Panic’ is ‘Little Help’ in collaboration with Yoshi Flower which brings back more of the high energy feel to link into the title track. It’s yet another display of Elohim’s ability to impressively spring from calm moments into more chaotic sections while making it feel perfectly natural. The ‘Deluxe Edition’ adds even more diversity of sound to an album that already had a plethora of styles wonderfully brought together. These new additions have only deepened the journey that ‘Power of Panic’ takes you on and have continued to show just how talented Elohim is. Connect with Elohim on her socials below:
