Rockstar by Magellan Starchild – Full Review & Analysis

Magellan Starchild are quietly becoming a force in the shadows of the scene. With multiple drum and bass tracks now clocking over a million streams, their sound is clearly resonating—blending pop familiarity with deep, dancefloor-ready production. Their latest move? A D&B refit of Post Malone’s Rockstar that flips the chart-topper into something altogether moodier and more immersive.

This version trades trap beats for crisp breaks and hazy ambience, driven by low-slung sub bass and lush, swelling synths. There’s a deep, almost meditative tone running through the track—an introspective edge that sidesteps the bombast of typical remix culture. Instead of chasing drops, Magellan let the vocal breathe, creating space and tension that pull you in rather than shout for attention.

The bouncy sub anchors the rhythm without ever feeling forced, gliding under the beat with a liquid sensibility. It’s a refined, dialled-in approach that shows real awareness of the D&B palette—dark but not dour, and brimming with control.

For an act that still calls themselves “probably not on your radar,” Magellan Starchild are making some serious noise in the background. Rockstar (DNB Version) is a confident reminder that underground doesn’t have to mean unseen.
