This release reinforces why Calyx remains a primary architect of the D&B underground. He manages to balance the raw, “gritty” energy of the warehouse with a level of professional, high-spec polish that rewards a high-fidelity listen.

Adame Twins x Koji Aiken – Toxic
The secret weapon behind the atmospheric pull of Koji Aiken’s Drum & Bass reimagining of “Toxic” is the vocal work by the Adame Twins. By bringing in a fresh vocal cover rather than simply sampling the original, the track gains a layer of “clean” professional polish that sets it apart from your average underground bootleg.
Chase & Status – Homework feat. Lancey Foux
Chase & Status have spent decades perfecting the “clean yet gritty” aesthetic, and “Homework” sees them operating at the height of their powers. They’ve swapped their traditional drum and bass tempos for a weighted, technical “trench” or “trap-influenced” rhythm that hits with a distinct, punchy authority.

DVBBS, CHRSTPHR – One Night
“One Night” captures that elusive “middle ground” between a summer anthem and a gritty, late-night heater. DVBBS continues to prove that they are masters of the “pocket,” knowing exactly when to let the bassline drive the energy and when to introduce the melodic hooks that give the song its “main character” energy.
Hatiras – Won’t Stop
“Won’t Stop” is built on the kind of rock-solid foundation that has made Hatiras a staple in DJ sets worldwide. It doesn’t overcomplicate things; instead, it perfects the essential elements of a club heater.
Kelland, BROSA – SAY PLEASE
If you’ve been tracking the Vancouver scene, Kelland is a name that carries weight. Known for his ability to pivot between massive Monstercat anthems and gritty, experimental hip-hop, he has a knack for finding the “soul” inside the machine. With “Say Please,” he leans into the shadows, delivering a track that is as assertive as its title suggests.
CPARK – ANOTHER WORLD
CPARK has delivered a standout addition to the LoFreq catalog. “Another World” is a must-listen for fans of experimental bass, deep dubstep, and anyone looking for a temporary exit from reality.

PVRPLE. – Drown
