Hold Tight D&B Heads: DJ Rap’s New Single ‘Cobra’ Is out Now

DJ Rap warned earlier in the summer that her Propa Talent label would be gearing up for more releases, starting with her own series of single, and now she’s delivering. “Cobra” is the second single in the track series she’s releasing to accompany her UK and EU tour.

As a follow-up to the first summer single from Rap called “Dark Places,” “Cobra” is in some ways even darker. She’s taken away the steppier elements of the first track in favor of some powerfully emotive and melodic synths and a vocal sample to match. It’s reminiscent of the big, theatrical, sounds of the late 90s in D&B and whether you’ve heard this style of synths before or not, it makes a huge, goosebump-inducing impact.

The intro and break on “Cobra” contain some signature amens which seem to be characterizing this series and which add to that classic big D&B sound that Rap is pulling back into 2019, where it’s desperately needed. Add all those elements to blistering fast snares and a heavily syncopated drum beat and this is officially a track that will light up the dancefloor like no other on Rap’s gigs this summer.

Fast, evocative and deceptively complex, “Cobra” is in a class on its own and displays why DJ Rap is still considered one of the greats in drum & bass. Cop it here and check out Rap’s website and check out her remaining dates on her tour.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
