The Caracal Project And Leotix Join Forces On ‘New Lesson’!

The Caracal Project and Leotrix are dropping some serious knowledge, as the two game-changing bass artists collide on ‘New Lesson’ for Gud Vibrations. Hailing from France, the low-end beast known as The Caracal Project has been cutting his teeth to tackle a slower bpm range, under the eye of a forward-thinking master of the genre: Leotrix. The guys met online in late 2019 around the release of The Caracal Project‘s ‘Homegrown’ EP, released via Phace’s lauded Neosignal imprint, and Ethan (Leotrix) was gassed about the idea of Félix (TCP) producing around 140. He assigned himself the mission of pushing the young French man to release something new. Exchanging some samples, both of the guys settled on the ‘New Lesson’ loop wrote by Ethan. Félix then took this simple idea and extracted all the juice he could get out of it, grabbing all the spices he had on the shelf, a touch of tech punch, a fragrant pinch of flamenco and sprinkles of futuristic sound works; and this ‘New Lesson’ was ready to be devoured.
After comparing notes, the Caracal Project and Leotrix barge into the classroom with a collab that is just as much a head-scratcher as it is a chin-stroker. “New Lesson” throws the textbook out the window, sliding into the session with a suspenseful intro built around a drizzle of melancholic piano chords that lead the way into attention-grabbing pages inked from gloomy padlines, spiraling vocal chants, and effervescent textures. Before long, they proceed to kick out a visionary chunk of tech funk that will fry your frontal lobe. The glitchy grind and next generation riddim chops get the mind running a million miles a minute, only to break off into an advanced lightning round with the call-and-response in the closing section. No amount of preparation will help you keep up with the two brains powering this presentation.
The Caracal Project is one of the most promising acts in Bass Music today, hailing from France and its rich dance music heritage Felix is constantly exploring different BPMs from Drum & Bass to House and now Dubstep. He was the first name announced as part of the ‘Future Vision’ NYE livestream of UKF to end 2020 on a bright note and several uploads with the major Bass Music outlet have already been confirmed including this release. Although 2020 saw the cancellation of many shows all across Europe, the relentless support of the likes of Rene Lavice or Annie Mac on BBC Radio1 leave no doubt that the UK market is already charmed by his fresh and innovative touch, and so does the DJ support with the likes of Camo & Krooked, The Upbeats, Noisia, and Mefjus.
On the other hand, Leotrix is a young-gun making tidal waves out of Australia with one of the most consistent pupil-dilating discogs from Down Under and beyond. His meteoric rise over the past few years is due in no small part from the bottomless bag of new tricks he’s not afraid to reach into on a regular basis. He’s made the rounds with a whole host of top-tier bass camps, ranging from Never Say Die, Disciple, Wakaan and many more. The growing list of tastemakers sitting in his corner should be a clear indication of his skyrocketing stock, having garnered support from Zeds Dead, Excision, Zomboy, Kayzo, and Virtual Riot.
“New Lesson” is a meeting of the minds between two trailblazing talents, so if you haven’t already, be sure to bookmark The Caracal Project and Leotrix if you don’t want to get left behind.

Phatwell Releases Emotional And Uplifting ‘Keep Those Dreams’

Swedish producer Phatwell returns with ‘Keep Those Dreams’, a powerful and uplifting future bass track that blends emotional energy with an inspiring message. This isn’t just a dance song, it’s a heartfelt tribute to passion, perseverance, and the people who keep chasing their dreams no matter how hard the journey gets.
Musically, ‘Keep Those Dreams’ is bright, catchy, and full of life. Its big synths, driving beat, and anthemic chorus are clearly inspired by artists like The Chainsmokers, something Phatwell openly acknowledges. “I truly believe The Chainsmokers are among the most brilliant songwriters in modern EDM,” he says. “Their ability to mix emotion with unforgettable hooks really shaped today’s sound, and that spirit inspired this track.”
But what makes this release special is the personal story behind it. The song is dedicated to Oscar Gustafsson, also known as Sunmo, a close friend and one of the most talented producers Phatwell has worked with. Oscar represents what ‘Keep Those Dreams’ is really about: choosing passion over comfort, and believing in something bigger even when the odds are against you. “He’s one of those rare producers who not only masters the technical craft but pours his whole heart into every beat,” Phatwell says.
The lyrics are simple but powerful, especially lines like “They say you gotta work, cause it’s impossible to make it / But working nine to five is highly overrated.” It’s a bold reminder that following your dreams often means going against the grain, and that’s okay.
In a music world where success is never guaranteed, ‘Keep Those Dreams’ stands out as a reminder and a rallying cry—for artists, creatives, and anyone daring to follow their own path. Whether you’re on the dancefloor or just trying to get through a tough day, this track delivers both energy and encouragement.
Because sometimes, the dream is the most real thing we have.

The Chainsmokers & Coldplay ‘Something Just Like This’ Hits 3 Billion Streams on Spotify, Marking a Major Milestone

Some songs come and go, but others leave a lasting mark. The Chainsmokers and Coldplay’s Something Just Like This is one of those tracks that people never seem to get tired of. Released in February 2017, it has now crossed 3 billion streams on Spotify, placing it among the most streamed songs of all time. Whether played at festivals, weddings, or quiet nights alone, it continues to hold a special place in people’s hearts.
A Dream Collaboration That Came Naturally
Long before they were selling out festivals and topping charts, Drew Taggart and Alex Pall were massive Coldplay fans. From the beginning of their career, they have spoken about how much Chris Martin and his band shaped their sound. When the opportunity came to work together, it was more than just a big collaboration. It was a moment they had been waiting for.
The way the song came together was just as special. During a session in the studio, The Chainsmokers played a simple piano riff, and Martin immediately started writing lyrics. Within a couple of hours, he had the melody mapped out, walking around with headphones on, completely immersed in the creative process. The result was a song that blended Coldplay’s signature storytelling with The Chainsmokers’ electronic production, creating something that felt both familiar and fresh.
Why This Song Stuck With People
The lyrics tell a story that many can relate to. Instead of searching for perfection or fairy-tale love, it is about finding someone who makes you feel like enough just as you are. That simple idea, combined with the uplifting melody, is what makes the song feel just as good now as it did when it was first released.
Over the years, Something Just Like This has been more than just another song in a playlist. It has soundtracked personal moments, major life events, and unforgettable nights at festivals. For many, it is the kind of track that brings back memories every time it plays.
A Milestone Worth Celebrating
Not many songs reach 3 billion streams, and the ones that do are usually the ones that never fade away. This achievement shows just how much people still love and connect with Something Just Like This, years after it first came out.
For The Chainsmokers, this song is a reminder of the band that inspired them from the start. For fans, it is proof that a great song does not need anything over the top to leave an impact. Sometimes, all it takes is the right melody, the right words, and the right moment.
And whether it’s something old, something new, you know that you will always be feeling ‘Something Just Like This’ with a song that will never go out of style.
