Blood Moon by AC13 – Full Review & Analysis

With a reputation for bold, unrelenting rollers and a flair for crossover appeal, AC13 has been setting fire to the drum and bass circuit like few others in recent years. Now, with his debut appearance on Elevate Records, Blood Moon sees the Bristol-based dynamo step up with a track that’s as ferocious as it is finely tuned for the dance.

From the very first bar, Blood Moon delivers a sheer adrenaline hit. It's all snarling basslines, neck-snap snares, and that signature AC13 grit that’s made him a fixture in headline slots from the UK to Australia. The intro builds with ominous energy before giving way to a drop that punches through with heavyweight force—sharp, aggressive and unapologetically rowdy.

Where some producers might play it safe with label debuts, AC13 goes full throttle. The production is slick but savage, underpinned by dynamic switch-ups and a gnarly sound design that will absolutely decimate any system it touches. It’s the kind of tune that doesn’t ask for a reload—it demands it.

Elevate Records has always been a home for high-impact bangers, and AC13 slots right in with a sound that bridges the gap between underground menace and main-stage chaos. With Blood Moon, he’s not just announcing himself to Elevate fans—he’s kicking the door down.
