Maintaining an unquestionably high-octane output on their emergent label, X-AMNT, since its formation last year, co-founders and frequent collaborators Bunjy and Kickback return this July with another team-up: the boisterous new drum and bass single “Cold Lock”.
Kicking off with an inviting polyphony of effervescent synths and glittering arpeggios, “Cold Lock” soon builds to heady climaxes, with buoyant basslines, fluttering reeses and slick clicks coming together to result in a slice of D&B serenity.
“Cold Lock” serves as the fourth collaboration from the Bristolian tag-team to hit streaming services. Between their first outing and label debut “Boundaries” (feat. Kayla), their jungle twist on Laid Blak’s reggae sizzler “Mic Man”, and their high-profile take on Alonestar and Ed Sheeran’s “Raise ‘Em Up”, the pair took the scene by storm in 2020, with the three releases collectively accruing over a million streams.
The new single comes as a natural extension of the duo’s thriving musical alliance, spotlighting yet another string to their bow as they opt for a markedly lighter sound on this release.
“Cold Lock” lands 14 July exclusively via Juno Download and Spotify, hitting a full range of retailers and streaming services the following week on 21 July 2021.
