[@theunderdog9353]

My friends: "What genre is this?" Me: "Yes"

[@raivorivaldo1747]

fell in love with the song from when i heard it for the first time reminds me of Forza horizon 4 days!

[@TheRealGarate]

Those Forza guys are great at choosing songs lol this reminded me of Showdown by Pendulum, which was in Forza Motorsport 3

[@ciaranstewart]

Knife party played this at Lost Lands towards the final end of their set and honestly when I heard it I was so lost but it fucking slaps 🔥

[@lucyphera777]

hahahahaaa ! i love this . on repeat . on röPEEET !

[@Phuktup3]

Whoaaaaaaaa! This is so good! Crazy how good this is

[@alias_hallow]

absolutely fantastic video for a fantastic song

[@LongAssNaps]

Podunk & Bass

[@MrzodiacBE]

Oh dammnnnn. The genre switching in this tune is just insanely well done! Awesome, love it!!! Also that bassline is sick AF!

[@marcosmeson2727]

Now my wife and I can listen to a song together 😂

[@VictoryAviation]

🤣😂😆 Ded bro

[@terrymcinnes01]

So can me and my other 2 personalities 😂

[@MacVicius]

9😊9oooo

[@UkeJamUK]

yup. true dat

[@disruptivegarage]

one song managed to give it to me consistently, currently on a 50 times streak, the song is called lilium

[@RedValorant]

The blend of these genres hits extremely different in the best way possible.

[@KennyViTran]

lmao Red. When we seeing this track in your next massive yoru play? 👀👀

[@ValorantAscended]

Let's hear it for Valorant DnB

[@guillaumebezuijen8551]

Yup. Dnb is extremely versatile. It just adds rythm bass and beat. That's why it can be adopted anywhere. Dnb is not one genre, it's widespread. Apart for 3 things. 1 : beat 2 : bass 3 : bpm

[@st0nedpenguin]

I always tell people one of the best things about DNB is how varied the genre is and it's tracks like this that really help demonstrate it lol.

[@missdixyd]

💯

[@EclecticAlfa]

this is music that will be remembered: rock, country & d'n'b

[@Mcevoy91]

Amen to that

[@jamescrowther1234]

An asmr chill out man, on the DnB? My kinda guy!

We love some good ol’ fashion yeehaw & bass 🤠 it’s a hoedown throwdown 😳🔥

[@69fcuk247]

Heard this track a few months back and I still strongly believe this is the best track this year 3 genres in 1 and create an absolute masterpiece

[@victordoisneau5226]

BIG UP to the drummer who leads the energy of this entire song ! From 0:36 to 0:48 he switches the style so smartly and brings so much energy. Genius !

[@adraxer1365]

Yeah at 2:40 too

[@preston448]

I don’t know if you know this but the drummer isn’t actually playing that. The majority of the drums in this song/drop are electronically programmed by Justin hawkes. The drummer in the video is doing the equivalent of lipsyncing but on the drums.

[@wtwrush]

That’s a transition from acoustic drums to programmed electronic drums. But the human drummer does a great job throughout as well!

[@jeffpv]

This is the best tune of the year, by FAR

[@GrantyGame]

Not even close, arbiter is way better

[@jeffpv]

@@GrantyGame That's just, like, your opinion, man.

[@aaront8609]

@@GrantyGame Arbiter goes hard, as does Cadence

[@righteousreject5376]

Na I agree with this epic track right here

[@Duddyfunguy]

Fact

[@markopolo9559]

I was so confused about the country genre for the 1st minute but wow, what a tune. I absolutely love a band playing drum and bass tunes like Pendulum.

[@blacksparkss21]

was not even that bad tho :D

[@jimboslice689]

You know, life’s been really tough on me lately. I feel like I’m not in control. That there’s nothing I can do to stop the suffering of those around me. It’s so hard. But when I heard this track, even if it was just for a moment, all of that melted away and I felt that funky ass tune carry me sky high. I was reminded that i can find joy. You really did that for someone. And I’m sure you’ve done that for many. Thanks Justin hawkes and Andrew hellier.

[@lucyphera777]

that reminder is so needed . i feel it too

[@alegp97]

Ask me, Lucilo, how one feels sorry that, when the world is governed by divine Providence, so many evils happen to good men. It will be superfluous to want to demonstrate now that this great work of the world cannot be without some guard, and that the course and certain discourse of the stars is not a casual movement; He sees that great plants are born from small seeds, and that not even those things that seem confused and uncertain, such as the rains, the clouds, the strikes of lightning, and the fires on the broken peaks of the mountains, the tremors of the moving earth with the rest that the tumultuous part of things revolves around it, although they are sudden, they do not move without reason, since even those have their causes no less than in those remote lands we look at as miracles; what are the hot waters in the middle of the rivers, the new spaces of islands that are discovered on the high seas; and that whoever observes, when the waters withdraw into it, leave the banks bare, and that within a short time they are covered again, will know that with a certain volubility they withdraw and shrink within themselves, and that the waves return again to go out, seeking its seat with rapid course, sometimes growing with the portions, and falling and rising in the same day and in the same hour, showing themselves now greater and now smaller as they are attracted by the Moon, at whose will the Ocean grows. All this is reserved for his time; because although you, who still impatiently do not give up on your destiny, and who complain about divine Providence, know that you do not doubt it: and I find myself no less wanting to put you on friendship with the gods, believe me that they end up being good to the good man; because Nature does not allow her goods to harm the good. Between God and fair men there is a certain friendship united, through virtue: and when I say friendship, I should say a close familiarity, and even a certain similarity; because the good man differs from God only in time, being his disciple and imitator; because that magnificent father, who is not a soft executor of virtues, raises the good ones more harshly, as the most severe fathers do. Therefore when you see that our most righteous men of Rome and most beloved beings of the gods suffer terrible wounds, labor and fatigue, and that they walk uphill and that, on the contrary, the vulgar and mean ones are fresh and abundant with delight, be persuaded to just as we are pleased with the modesty of our dearest children, and delight in the license and liberties of slaves born at home, how we confront the former with melancholy recollection, and encourage more ease in the others; This is how God does the same, not delighting in heroes, nor in good men, nor in his family and women, because the one who makes the experiences so that he becomes virtuous, is the one who prepares him for himself, to be One, one more within. -Seneca, First Book Of Divine Providence

[@GreenhamGuitar]

THAT DRUMMER! Erick Tatuaca is utterly phenomenal! Even if it's miming for a video - clearly nails the hi-hat syncopation... at 174bpm no less!

[@ladybullets]

My son told me: "mom you have to listen to this you gonna love this"and I did!!! WHAT good surprise to me haha this is AMAZING!! Love it!! Greetings from Paraguay ❤

Honestly a crime that this hasn't blown the f up yet, it's a masterpiece!!! 🙏🔥

Was that a Boxplot sighting at 1:38 😂

[@Taikamuna]

I didn't know Adam Savage could sing

[@Jef_]

Such a fantastic track. This whole album is marvelous in general, but this one and Existential are the cherries on top

[@VictoryAviation]

Gonna have to check the whole thing out

[@VictoryAviation]

I listened to it all last night, and color me pink… That album is awesome! I just found a new artist to keep track of!!!

@@Jef_ definitely appreciate it! I’m still listening to it right now lol. You’re the best.

[@KongraDNB]

Justin Hawkes has to be producer of the year at this point. So many different styles of songs coming from him and i swear they're all bangers. insane.

[@cdjwmusic]

Facts! The entire album is a gem

[@luvaha_]

This track makes me wanna do a bottle flip from a skyscraper onto a coin...

[@StarMama90]

I found you on Tiktok under ADHD music and I love it so much!!! I love EDM and my partner loves country, so it's perfect for us. I think I have a new fave sub genre 💚💙💜

[@matthewgavin]

Moment of silence for the people that skipped this on Spotify thinking they're Spotify was glitching

[@deenoc3622]

Wow wow wow. Who would have thought Rock and DnB would work so well? The gutitar riff at 3:40, with the lyrics and then the DnB drops is just spectacular

[@oliver_rocks80]

Pendulum did, in the 2000s. Most of their music is rock dnb

[@jamescrowther1234]

Flit.... sorry, I mean Justin, you've f*cking nailed it lad!

[@aaront8609]

If this is what it takes to get DnB more popular in the states, so be it! Don't sleep on his album btw, it's one of the best releases in 2022

[@boomerwithattitude240]

This guy, man. This song, bro. It should be EVERYWHERE in the clubs, radio, name it. SO UNDERRATED

[@stefandicitrajaya9746]

this could be in forza horizon 6

[@Kyderra]

I really am not a fan of the typical American "country song," that all sound the same. But because this song leans so hard into it before the drop it makes it so much better

[@sael1322]

Зачётно 👍🏼

[@skyann8976]

This feels like a new upcoming band that makes their music based on rock-'n'-roll and drum-'n'-bass

[@Dubstone]

Pendulum?

@@Dubstone HAHA! i jus said that shit out loud before i clicked to see the reply.

[@moosttextor6162]

​@@DubstoneI know right, New Kids know nothing.

[@crookman42]

@@Dubstonetotally true, Pendulum! But I really wonder, Pendulum gets all that hype in the DnB-Scene while no-one is really following up on their style of mixing DnB with Rock (and other styles)... This is great! Would really love more of this!

Film clip definitely reminiscent of Dillon Francis - Need You

[@elliottjonesmusic]

It's not only the cross genre, but the fact it makes every car vibrate in the best possible way 😝

[@benhobby17]

honestly this goes so hard but the fact that even though most of this is digital they still made the drumming very accurate in the video, it always bugs me in poorly produced music videos when the drummer just isnt doing anything that could make the actual sound of the song

[@ArthurSb]

ça sonne teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellement bien ! Cette batterie des enfers

[@zipfotoproductions2934]

This song bangs SO FREAKING HARD 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@single-t]

I can't properly express how much 2 worlds have just collided for me. I've been following Andrew Hellier since the mid-90s, the same can be said for DnB... and 30 years later the two join.

[@teasteel4900]

This song makes me feel like, you had a boring day and then sudenly you stumble upon something really good which fills you with a huge rush of dopamine.

yo props for inventing some new shit. this is awesome

I don't know what the fuck this is anymore. D&B is a shapeshifting badass. I'm so confused listening to this... but it's given me a semi. So it can't be bad, right?

I was listening to DNB radio on spotify on my way home from work. This song came on... thought my friend was messing with me and switched the songs... lol when the drop hit I was jamming out hard!!!!

So I have been listening to DnB since the early 90s. No Joke, this is one of the best Drum and Bass songs ever. Right up there with Chase & Status's remix of Original Nuttah. This is QUALITY music. Quality. Superb, coming from an American. The modern Country into, to the rock leading up to the drop, to the fighting breaks.... and the secolnd half cold be played in any high school football stadium before the match...these bright lights are better than gold? This is how it is done, introducing rural America to quality drum and bass. Holy fuck....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE more of this.
