Konquest, Volatile Cycle & Dropset Unveil Their Heartfelt Follow-Up Single ‘Alone
18 September 2024 - Shelley Dodds
After making a big splash on Evolution Chamber with the high-energy, vocal-led dance-floor banger ‘Close Your Eyes’, the transatlantic trio Volatile Cycle, Dropset, and Konquest have teamed up once again to deliver their highly anticipated follow-up single, ‘Alone’.
‘Alone’ sees Konquest step up with his signature vocal finesse, weaving an intimate, emotional narrative about feeling cut off from the people who were once close. The track explores the heavy realization that these individuals weren’t true friends after all, but more like situational companions—people tied to a moment, not meant to last. The lyrics strike a chord, touching on themes of loneliness, loss, and the uncomfortable but necessary confrontation with emptiness, which is something so many of us have experienced at one point or another. It’s not just a song; it’s a raw, personal reflection on the complex nature of human relationships.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He1qI6wViiA?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




Musically, ‘Alone’ packs a serious punch. The drop explodes with Evolution Chamber’s signature sound—those tight, call-and-response basslines combined with relentless drum patterns that keep the intensity dialled up. The grinding bass rhythms blend with melodic elements in a way that’s both heavy and musical, making for a dynamic listening experience. The track balances emotional depth with powerful production, showing off the trio’s ability to deliver both storytelling and dance-floor energy in one shot.
As we wave goodbye to summer and brace ourselves for the colder months, Evolution Chamber has its sights set on celebrating five years of cutting-edge releases. The label has big plans for the remainder of 2024, with some familiar names returning to the roster and new talent on the horizon. As they continue to push boundaries and build momentum, Evolution Chamber is well-positioned to keep dominating the Drum & Bass scene with fresh, innovative sounds.
Check out our premiere of ‘Alone’ below. The single drops this Friday 20th September. Make sure you grab a copy for your record collection here!

Ray Keith reimagines 30 years of drum & bass with live band at XOYO Birmingham
18 September 2024 - Data Transmission Staff
Prepare for an unforgettable night of Drum & Bass as genre godfather, Ray Keith, takes centre stage at XOYO Birmingham on Friday 29th November 2024 with ‘The Renegade’. 
This is not just an immersive show; it’s a celebration of over 30 years of groundbreaking rave anthems, reimagined by a full live band with special performances from Jungle icons, Ragga Twins and MC Juiceman. 


[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/186809758" params="color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]

Data Transmission · Basheba – Hold On – (Ray Keith Remix)After their sold out shows at one of London’s most iconic venues Jazz Cafe, and Shangri-La Glastonbury’s venue Lost Horizon,  Ray Keith and his band ‘The Renegade’ now prepare for their XOYO Birmingham debut. 
As they work their way through an extensive catalogue of old-school classics including the likes of ‘The Chopper’, ‘Terrorist’ and many more, the night promises an unmissable hybrid experience, combining live musicians, DJ and MCs, to mark a three-decade-long legacy.
Ray Keith said, “This live project captures the spirit of Jungle and D&B for me. You’ll hear the classics of the Ray Keith catalogue past and present but we’ll also be throwing in some nods to the foundations of dance music; Rare Groove, Acid House, Reggae, and Soul MUSIC”.
Known for his revolutionary remix of Orbital’s iconic record, ‘Chime,’ and his influential label, Dread Recordings, Ray Keith is arguably one of the most seminal foundations of Drum & Bass and Jungle. With roots in the UK rave scene of the early 1990s, Ray quickly established himself as a master of the decks, blending soulful rhythms with hard-hitting basslines.

dtdnb · Ray Keith Vs Demolition Man '3rd Eye' [Dread Recordings]His breakthrough came with the iconic ‘Terrorist,’ which became a definitive Jungle cut. 
Over the years, Ray has continued to innovate, nurturing countless artists and tracks that push the boundaries of Drum & Bass. Known for his evocative and passionate sets, Ray Keith remains a beloved and inspirational figure, connecting deeply with fans and aspiring artists through his dynamic performances and rich musical legacy.
‘The Renegade’ featuring Ray Keith is just the tip of the November iceberg at XOYO Birmingham in a month that sees live performances from Newton Faulkner, Alfie Templeman, Noahfinnce, Kofi Stone and Bonny Light Horseman, while its club programme is flooded with top-tier talent, including Fish56Octagon, 4am Kru, Mozey, Cafe Mambo Ibiza, Cirque Du Soul and more. 
Since its launch in September 2023, XOYO Birmingham has quickly become a standout destination for unforgettable clubbing experiences driven by the best in electronic dance music. 
Building on the prestigious legacy of its London counterpart, XOYO Birmingham has carved out its niche within the city’s lively nightlife. With five unique spaces and the ability to accommodate nearly 3,000 guests, XOYO Birmingham delivers an unmatched experience created by and for the people of Birmingham.
