New year, same feature. Would you expect anything less? As January comes to a close we’re back with another installment of Focus Five: our monthly round-up of five producers that you need to know. This month we’ve got a double dose of future beats, some experimental trap, a genre-agnostic producer, and some Hardwave for good measure. Dive in below. Angel…

When the name GANZ comes up, three words come to mind: veteran, underrated, and consistent. The Amsterdam-based producer has been around since early last decade, initially drawing influence from the pioneers of future bass to then carve his own unique, exhilarating sound. Staying true to his style by releasing (mostly) independently, GANZ never compromises or succumbs to expectations, instead doing…

Nobody does curation better than Lucid Monday. Every single time a new compilation drops, fans can expect everything from big names to up-and-coming talents, and hard-hitting beats to groovy bops. Recently, the masterminds behind the compilations have compromised more frequent releases for stacked collections spanning well over ten tracks, and their latest is the perfect embodiment of that statement. Coming…

IMANU and Jon Casey are among bass music’s most exciting acts to follow. Innovators in their own right as they refuse to conform to genres or expectations, the individuals have carved unique lanes in the scene through pushing creativity and novelty at a rate that many only dream of achieving. While both artists have crafted a distinct sound that often…

Late last year, Dabin announced a North American tour to celebrate and showcase his latest album, Between Broken. To our immense delight, an artist that we have been following for years, namely Rome in Silver, will be joining the tour for almost every stop, where he will be able to display his unique sound to the masses. Fittingly, Rome in…

There is not much to say about Leotrix that was not said in 2021. Having covered the majority of his releases from that calendar year which spans over an album’s worth of material, everyone should be aware of the jaw-dropping consistency at which the Australian producer releases music, and quality music at that. While one would expect him to take…

Tom Finster is a heavily underrated force in drum and bass and in bass music in general. Despite only coming onto the scene in 2018, the artist has released on labels such as Inspected, Upscale and DIVIDID, has landed remixes for the likes of Camo & Krooked, The Caracal Project and Rohaan, and has consistently shown through his individual work…

Anyone who has been following FUXWITHIT for the last calendar year will know how much we love Pocket. From supporting his first single, to premiering a couple of follow-ups, to hosting the Scottish producer for a heart-warming guest mix and insightful interview, the term fan does not even begin to describe our admiration for the talented individual. Quickly growing into…

IMANU and The Caracal Project were undeniable personal favourites in 2021, contributing to many of my top played songs of the year. Individually, each artist has grown into a style that is shaping the sound of modern drum and bass, while displaying a versatility in genres such as dubstep and house that is truly unmatched. Their collaboration with Leotrix titled…
