In My Mind by John B

When three names with a reputation for pushing boundaries collide, expectations run high. With In My Mind, out 12 September on Beta Recordings, John B joins forces with Magellan Starchild and The Young Punx to deliver a drum and bass reimagining of one of the most streamed tracks of the past decade. Originally a global smash by Dynoro and Gigi D’Agostino, this cover replays and reshapes the instantly recognisable vocal into a high-octane anthem designed for the 2025 dancefloor.

Clocking in at just over three minutes (with a longer extended mix available), the track is tailored for both radio and peak-time festival slots. John B’s trademark futuristic sheen runs throughout, giving the cut an unmistakable cinematic edge. Magellan Starchild’s vocal presence injects warmth and emotion, while The Young Punx add the kind of slick, precision production that has carried them to some of the biggest stages worldwide.

What makes this release stand out is the balance between underground credibility and commercial appeal. The replayed vocal avoids feeling like a cheap sample grab, instead offering a fully realised reinterpretation. The drop hits hard enough to please heads in the rave, while the melodic hooks make it a strong candidate for crossover playlists alongside Sub Focus, Wilkinson and Kanine.

In My Mind also arrives at a busy moment in John B’s career. Fresh from a landmark summer that included a standout set at Coal Castle Festival in the Czech Republic and ahead of a headline appearance at Halloween Fever in Heidelberg, he shows no sign of slowing. His forthcoming album Found In Rave, due 14 November, promises to build on this momentum.

This is not just another cover – it is a hands-in-the-air festival weapon, one that reaffirms John B’s place as one of drum and bass’s most ambitious and versatile producers. Expect this one to echo across raves and playlists well into next year.
