Modestep, pioneer of the dubstep and electronic rock fusion, are back with ‘kiss u’ out now via UKF as part of their 15th Anniversary series.
Following the genre-defying collaboration with rising drum and bass star SOTA earlier this year, ‘kiss u’ marks a return to Modesteps roots, offering a more refined take on their signature dubstep sound. Alongside the release, Modestep Live will be bringing their high-energy performance to the UKF15 Drumsheds event, boasting the full live band which will be the first band performance in the UK since 2017.
On the inspiration for the track, Josh says “I wanted to put a modern twist on the old school dubstep sound we all grew up on, taking inspiration from artists like Flux Pavilion, NERO and Doctor P. I was trying to cast my mind back to 2010 when I first fell in love with dubstep, and what I would make now using everything I’ve learned since.” Listen to ‘kiss u’
