DRZ Finds His Lane On New Crucast Single ‘Like U’

Over the last couple of years, DRZ has quietly become one of the most exciting names emerging from the UK Drum & Bass scene. Still early in his journey, the Reading-based producer has already built a reputation for balancing heavy club energy with more melodic and emotional songwriting, helping his music stand out in an increasingly crowded space.

That versatility has seen him steadily gain momentum across the scene, with support from names including Sub Focus, Pendulum and Circadian, alongside releases on labels such as Crucast, DNB Allstars and STMPD. Recent collaborations with artists like Sub Zero and El Pablo have further expanded his reach, while his previous Crucast EP ‘Losing It’ helped introduce his sound to a wider audience and charted highly on the Beatport Drum & Bass releases chart.

Now returning to Crucast for his first release of the year, DRZ delivers ‘Like U’, a track that feels like a natural continuation of the sound he’s been developing. Without leaning too heavily in one direction, the single captures both the energy that works in the rave and the replay value that keeps listeners coming back outside of it. It’s another example of an artist refining his identity rather than chasing trends.

At a time where Drum & Bass continues to move at an intense pace, DRZ’s steady and consistent rise feels notable. Instead of forcing moments, he’s building a catalogue and profile organically, release by release, while developing a sound that feels recognisable as his own. ‘Like U’ is another strong marker of that progress and further proof that DRZ is moving towards becoming one of the scene’s standout new names.
