Shy FX feat Maverick Sabre – Call Me

Is it even summer without a bit of Shy FX blasting out your speakers? Big basslines & Maverick Sabre on the mic… Perfect!

Anile ft. DRS – Constant Reminder

There’s so much soul in DRS’ vocal. Back that up with Anile’s crisp beats and piano riffs… This tune is deep. Listen to the lyrics then rewind & listen again!

Mefjus, Camo & Krooked – Sientelo

THIS TUNE! Gives mus feelings of big festivals on sunny days. No idea what the lyrics mean, we just know this tune is a whole vibe!

Oversight – Beautiful Lie

Maybe a little bias adding a track from our label, but we signed it so clearly love it! Oversights liquid stylistics are ideally suited for sunny weather

Friction ft JP Cooper – Dancing (Dawn Wall Remix)

Close your eyes & let JP Coopers silky smooth voice take you somewhere else. Dawn Wall expertly roll out this remix of Frictions anthem

Wilkinson – Afterglow

We all know this one! Even your friends who aren’t into D&B know this, hence its addition to this summer selection of tracks

Marcus Intalex & ST Files – Universe

A classic from the Metalheadz label. Perhaps the oldest track on this list, but its so timeless it still sounds fresh

Matrix & Futurebound ft Max Marshall – Control

A classic from 2013! Pure hands in the air business. Time to pour another drink and apply a bit more sun screen!

Hybrid Minds – Touch

Who doesn’t love this track? An absolute anthem from Hybrid Minds… One for the whole gang to sing along to!

Alix Perez & Sabre – Solitary Native

Last track of our summer drum & bass selection. Sampling a classic 70’s funk riff this release on SGN Ltd from 2006 is the ideal way to round things off
