The Dust Brothers – Chemical Beats

Before the big beat genre even had a name, this groundbreaking track defined its sound.

The masterminds behind it are The Chemical Brothers, now mainstays of the UK dance scene.

In their early days, they performed under the same name as the American producer duo, The Dust Brothers.

This track fuses rapid-fire breakbeats with a ground-crawling, distorted bassline to deliver a sound that truly embodies rock’s dynamism.

It was first released on the 1994 EP “Fourteenth Century Sky,” and later included on the 1995 classic album “Exit Planet Dust.” Its aggressive groove reached beyond the club thanks to its placement in the near-futuristic racing game Wipeout.

It’s perfect for anyone who wants to lose themselves in the music without overthinking.

Rock fans, too, will feel the impact—savor those hard-hitting beats!

Calling After MeWallows

Wallows – Calling After Me (Official Video)

This is a track by Wallows, a Los Angeles–based band whose breezy, light sound lingers in your ears.

They’re also known for featuring Dylan Minnette, star of the film series “13 Reasons Why.” Released in March 2024, the song appears on the album “Model.” In contrast to its pleasant indie-pop melody, the lyrics poignantly depict the frustration of unrequited love—chasing someone who won’t turn around.

The protagonist’s earnest wish to be called by the person they love evokes sweet yet bittersweet scenes.

Reaching No.

8 on the UK rock chart, this song is perfect for those moments when you feel a distance between you and someone you care about.

Sleep Token – Caramel

Sleep Token, an enigmatic band based in London, UK, has performed in masks and cloaks without revealing their identities since their formation in 2016.

Released in April 2025 from their fourth album, Even in Arcadia, this new track is an ambitious work that fuses delicate R&B-flavored melodies with a weighty, powerful rhythm.

Following their previous song Emergence, which amassed over 9.9 million streams in the United States, the track generated buzz through a teaser unveiled via a weather forecast in collaboration with North Carolina meteorologist Chris Michaels, and it is widely expected to break into the UK Singles Chart top 10.

Suggesting new possibilities for alternative metal, this release is recommended for music fans who enjoy the fusion of electronic and metal.

When you want to forget the everyday and immerse yourself in a vast sonic world, surrender to this propulsive sound and feel the heat of the dance floor from back in the day.
