Russia’s finest drum & bass duo are back with their new synthwave-inspired, 80s-infused drum & bass skipper, ‘Wait For Me’. In 2020, the minimalistic sound masters Bop x Subwave released their second EP ‘Dream On’, that explored the sounds of garage and lo-fi jungle. Now, the time has come for them to unleash even more magic on Hospital Records ahead of their debut album, coming summer 2022.
‘Wait For Me’ is complete with addictive signature touches from Bop x Subwave. Stripped back drums, unforgettable lead vocals and their trademark end-of-bar double claps are a refreshing wave of originality as the soundsmith duo press on into previously unexplored territories.
Releasing nothing but futuristic gems and consistently pushing beyond the boundaries of the drum & bass circuit through experimenting with garage, techno, synth-pop and more, Bop x Subwave have since racked up DJ support from the likes of London Elektricity, DJ Marky, Flava D, Grafix, Dillinja, Monrroe and more. Since the inception of the duo with ‘Clair De Lune’ released on Bop’s Microfunk label back in 2018, the pair have released their debut 2019 EP ‘Love & Other Drugs’ that was home to their hit single ‘Don’t Wake Me Up. Plus, their ‘Dream On’ EP with Beatport Garage chart-topper ‘Haze’, a release with Degs on ‘The Shade’ for Hospital’s NHS400 EP, and more recently their remix of Hugh Hardie’s ‘Tearing Me Apart (feat. Kyan)’ as part of the ‘H25PITAL’ celebratory compilation, and ‘Zaichik’ on the ‘Forza Horizon 5: Hospital’ soundtrack LP.
Just as promising as solo artists, Bop has seen huge successes with his recent ‘Perehod’ EP which was picked up by dance music tastemakers such as Oneman and Laurent Garnier. Subwave continues to press on into 2022 with a dark minimal funk slammer as part of Lens’ ‘Hospital Mixtape’, not forgetting his releases across Galacy, Liquicity and the foundational Metalheadz.
