10 Tracks That Shaped Casey Club 

Having come from the underground UK scene, our sound has always been a bit of a melting pot – full of different genres and sounds that might seem unconnected, but all link together in our music. It’s Rob from Casey Club here and I’m going to take you through 10 tracks that built the Casey Club sound – from genre-defining classics to brand new dubs that always get a wheel at every show!

Flava D – In the Dance

When I was at uni, there was a small house party and someone playing on a tiny set of decks to about 8 people. They were playing a genre I’d never heard before, garage, and the track was In the Dance by Flava D. I remember being so amazed at the track and asked the DJ loads of questions about how DJing works and what buttons did what. That was the start of me getting properly into music. Without that track, there’s no Casey Club. Having had Flava D support us both privately and in public means an immeasurable amount to both of us on a personal level.

My Nu Leng – Senses (ft. Iyamah)

For me, this track defines what a good bass track from the 2016ish is. My Nu Leng were the first ever proper rave I went to at The Hub (RIP!) in Plymouth. I remember being absolutely blown off my feet during their set and instantly knowing this is something I wanted to do forever. I’ve had a signed copy of this record on my wall which I sort of have as a reminder of the experiences and quality of music I set out to make right at the start of my journey.

Simula – Bonesaw

I’ve always loved D&B and anyone who listens to D&B regularly will be able to pick out loads of influences in the music we put out now. Bonesaw for me was particularly special as it was kind of the first time the bridge between jump up and minimal was being crossed where people were properly paying attention. It’s been really cool hearing a lot of the yoi-type sound design get repopularised in the UK over the last few years in D&B. It’s definitely helped me find a sonic middle ground between the UK and North America. (Also shout out to Scruz and Kippo for the crazy remix of this – still gets a spin nearly every set!)

Alix Perez – BXL

This is another seminal record for me. I can still so clearly remember Alix Perez uploading a teaser video filmed on his phone of his compressor VU meters and everyone sharing it on facebook, back when that was the undisputed way of doing promo! It’s definitely the sort of track where you don’t want to be skipping the drop, just soak it all in.

Commodo, Ghantz, Khan – AMK

I think it’s hard to talk about UK dubstep without talking about Deep Medi in some capacity. When dubstep got yoi-ified (technically accurate term), these guys stuck to their guns and went further the other way. This track specifically for me just defines that era of dubstep so well. It just sounds so real and analog, it paints such a specific picture in my head of what dubstep from the UK really sounds like.

Para – UP2SOMMET

The last D&B track I’m going to mention on this list. Para is a producer I’ve been a fan of for a relatively short amount of time but you can really tell he knows his stuff. This track makes such an impact when it drops, it’ll knock your head off if you’re not paying attention. I’m lucky enough to know him now as we both live in the same city. If you can get the chance to see him play I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Cesco – Flump (Pineapple Records – 2025)

Another local to me, Cesco, has been killing it for a long time now. It’s really hard to pick which tracks of Cesco’s are the best, Superstealth, Swing King and Move Too Slow all deserve an honourable mention in my book. He’s another one who, like me, has his roots in DnB but has turned his attention to UKG and 140 with incredible style. I think there’s a good argument that he has the nicest drums in this era of electronic music. I’ve heard lots of people try to copy them but no one has managed (yet).

Hamdi – Counting (Taiki Nulight Remix)

If you’ve been paying close attention to either of our social media you’ll know that me and Taiki work together quite a bit. I was writing another track called ‘Papi Riddim’ which led to us both reminiscing about how much we both love dubstep and so he started writing this at the same time. We’ve both been travelling down the 140bpm rabbit hole together for about a year and a half now and have a few collabs in the tank! 

Phrva – Quintuplet Riddim

Phrva has been killing it over the last year or so, for me he’s been a standout in the new North American wave of dubstep, along with guys like Wink, Borne and Alexis B. Their sound reeks of the UK but you can tell it’s got that North American influence. I’ve been lucky to recently start working with these guys and it’s been really cool hearing their take on the 140 genre. I’m super excited to see what the next 12-24 months have in store for them!

Skrillex, Sleepnet, Joker – Tears

It’s hard to talk about dubstep now and not mention Skrillex, it’s much harder when he teams up with Sleepnet and Joker. I think there’s been a lot of the UK that were sort of angry with skrillex for “ruining” dubstep (I’m looking at you r/realdubstep), but I think it’s fair to say he’s gone full circle and has been instrumental in it’s resurgence. What I love so much about the whole Quest For Fire album, is that you can tell how much Skrillex respects UK electronic music culture.
