Crucast Presents: New Gen 3 – A Snapshot of Drum & Bass’ Next Wave
A multi-artist statement capturing the energy and evolution of the next generation.
Crucast returns with the third instalment of its New Gen series, continuing its role as a launchpad for emerging talent across the Drum & Bass spectrum. Built around a wide roster of rising producers and vocalists, New Gen 3 brings together a new wave of artists all pushing their own take on the sound, united under one forward-thinking project.
Across the compilation, the variety is clear. From melodic, vocal-led records like 4K & Olivia Rose’s dontletgo and Krasia & LICIA’s My Religion, to harder-edged cuts like Entity & Ekstatic’s Bleeding Out and FourD’s Diminish, the project moves fluidly between styles. Elsewhere, Zeppho, WIMBO, JJL, SANO, Exception and more round out the VA with club-ready tracks spanning jump-up, tech-driven and crossover Drum & Bass.
Rather than leaning on established names, Crucast continues to double down on discovery. Each artist brings their own identity, reflecting a scene that thrives on constant evolution and new ideas. It’s this diversity that gives New Gen 3 its strength, offering DJs a versatile selection while introducing listeners to the next names set to rise.
With New Gen 3, Crucast delivers more than just a compilation. It’s a snapshot of the underground right now, packed with fresh energy, future stars and sounds built to push Drum & Bass forward.
