Half Way GoneVibe Chemistry

Vibe Chemistry – Half Way Gone

Vibe Chemistry, a UK-born producer and DJ who’s been making a strong mark on the drum and bass scene.

Influenced by artists like Netsky and Chase & Status, he’s drawn attention with a distinctive sound that fuses melodic pop sensibilities with DnB’s driving energy.

In 2023, his collaboration with Rudimental, “Dancing Is Healing,” reached No.

5 on the UK charts and earned platinum certification, steadily building his career.

Released in October 2025, this new track arrives via his own label, Make Your Era, and is a liquid DnB cut that captures the delicate emotions of being in the midst of breakup and loss.

Riding a brisk beat in the 170 BPM range, sentimental synths and vocal chops seep into the heart.

Despite its short runtime, the catchy hook really stands out, making it a structure that shines both in clubs and on streaming.

A perfect track for a wistful late-night drive or when you want to sink into a tender, melancholic mood.

You Broke Me Too (ft Avril Lavigne)Yellowcard

Yellowcard ft Avril Lavigne – You Broke Me Too (Official Lyric Video)

After releasing their self-titled album in 2016 and going on hiatus, Yellowcard reunited in 2022 and will release their new album “Better Days” in October 2025.

The producer is Travis Barker of blink-182, who also handles the drum parts.

This track serves as the emotional core of the album—a ballad that features a star-studded collaboration with the “punk rock princess” herself, Avril Lavigne.

Their poignant duet, sharing the pain of wounded hearts, is elevated to dramatic heights by Yellowcard’s signature violin and Barker’s dynamic, ebb-and-flow drumming.

It’s a fitting song for a fresh start after a long hiatus, radiating hope and renewal.

Formerly part of a duo with Jamie Fine, he went solo in 2020.

Capturing the moment when someone suddenly appears in your life and everything feels lighter, the song stands out with its bright melody and dynamic beat.

Its irresistibly catchy, pop-infused groove makes you want to move, making it a perfect pick for anyone seeking the thrill of new encounters or the flutter of budding romance.

EchoesAs I Lay Dying

AS I LAY DYING – Echoes (Official Video)

As I Lay Dying is a metalcore band from San Diego, California, formed in 2000 and centered around Tim Lambesis.

With their fluid twin leads, ferocious shouts, and melancholic clean vocals, they helped lead the metalcore scene of the 2000s.

However, in the fall of 2024, they faced turmoil as key members left the band in quick succession.

Emerging from that upheaval, this track—released in October 2025—serves as an important declaration of their restart under a new lineup.

While it explores themes of past shadows and inner conflict, it also conveys a determination to forge a new identity, highlighted by a striking contrast between aggressive guitar riffs and clean vocal passages.

Ad Astra (Feat. ‪Graham Coxon‬)Ash

ASH – Ad Astra (Feat. @grahamcoxon) (Official Video)

Ash, the rock band from Northern Ireland.

Since forming in 1992, they’ve explored a wide range of sounds from Britpop to pop-punk, and in October 2025 they’re releasing their ninth studio album, Ad Astra.

The title track features Blur’s guitarist Graham Coxon, whose distinctive guitar work and vocals add depth to the piece.

With a soundscape that evokes cosmic grandeur and emotionally charged guitars driving the track, it marks a new frontier for a band with over 30 years of career behind them.

Highly recommended if you’re craving a straight-ahead rock sound.

ReuniteAllie X

Allie X – Reunite (Visualizer)

The new song released in October 2025 by Canadian singer-songwriter Allie X is a powerful work centered on the theme of reintegrating a self that has been crushed by the pressures of life and fragmented.

It delivers a message celebrating reconciliation with one’s own body, reflecting the deep introspection unique to an artist who has grappled with an autoimmune disease for many years.

The distinctive production—melding baroque-style classical instrumentation with contemporary electropop—is superb, creating a world where nostalgia and hope intersect.

This track is the second single from the forthcoming album “Happiness Is Going to Get You,” which will feature 12 songs, heightening anticipation for its release.

It’s a song I highly recommend to anyone who is facing themselves and striving to move forward.
