London Elektricity, BCee & Ruth Royall Unite for Diamonds in the Rain, a single kicking off the 20th anniversary of the iconic Spearhead Records label

Spearhead Records has been a cornerstone of the drum & bass scene for two decades. Today, they kick off their 20th-anniversary celebrations in spectacular fashion with the release of “Diamonds in the Rain,” featuring drum & bass icon London Elektricity, label founder BCee, and critically acclaimed vocalist Ruth Royall. 

The track serves as the first of 24 singles slated for release throughout 2025, spotlighting the label’s ongoing commitment to showcasing the best in drum & bass from mainstays in the genre as well as exciting breakthrough talent. 

As the founder of Spearhead Records, it was only fitting that BCee kicked off the celebrations with something special. He says: “This sort of collaboration doesn’t come along too often so when it does it’s worth taking a moment to appreciate. I’ve been a big London Elektricity fan since day one, the younger me would have lost his mind to know we would one day be in the studio together.” 

A vibrant blend of liquid drum & bass and soulful melodies, Diamonds in the Rain pulses with an infectious energy that is as uplifting as it is emotive. Ruth Royall’s stunning vocals soar over dynamic rhythms and shimmering instrumentation. London Elektricity’s & BCee’s decades of innovation in the genre shine through, seamlessly bridging classic drum & bass sounds with Spearhead’s forward-looking vision for its 20th-anniversary celebrations. 

This track brings together three iconic names shaping the genre’s global trajectory. London Elektricity, the founder of the legendary Hospital Records, has been instrumental in introducing drum & bass to audiences far beyond the UK. Through Spearhead, BCee has introduced many game-changing talents to the world, including Netsky, LSB, and Alix Perez—artists who have also cultivated massive fanbases in the USA. And Ruth Royall, with millions of streams and regular airplay on BBC Radio 1 and Kiss FM, is a star who’s bridging drum & bass with soulful vocals that connect with listeners everywhere. 

Stay tuned for more music and exciting collaborations from Spearhead Records as they continue to celebrate 20 years of innovation and impact within the drum & bass community.

Drum & bass pioneer Seba reveals his sixth studio album Oni ahead of an album release party on 15th November at London’s XOYO

Drum & bass kind Seba (not just our title: he was crowned earlier this year by Resident Advisor) has led an impressive 23+ year career.

Starting out with the legendary LTJ Bukem, Seba is often credited by artists in furthering the scene and as inspiration, as featured recently in UKF and DJ Mag.

Packed with 12 meticulously crafted tracks, the album Oni sees Seba exploring both the liquid and jungle subgenres of drum & bass, while also venturing into deep house territory, continuing to solidify his status as one of the most respected and innovative figures in electronic music,

It packs a punch with some bangers like Smoke and Slam, but then offers soothing, blissful relief with tracks Air and Flow. It even an unexpected deep house/Jon Hopkins-esque track with Three.

“I’ve been doing one off releases for Spearhead since 2011,” says Seba, AKA Sebastian Ahrenberg. “Steve (BCee) and I talked a long time about doing an album for Spearhead, and after my 2022 album Ingaro on my own label Secret Operations, it was about time to put another album together.  

“Since my musical direction is quite diverse with releases ranging from Hospital records to Function records, I thought it would be good to do an album that reflects that diversity. This album has a bit of jungle, drum & bass, liquid, some darkness, some smoothness. All blended together with my signature sounds.”

You’re invited to book your tickets and step into a world of immersive sound to celebrate the release of Oni, 8pm-12am (last entry 10pm) on Friday, 15th November at XOYO London (18+)
