London-based drum and bass powerhouse ABLE has been making serious waves in the scene with his deep, rolling sonics and razor-sharp production. With releases on some of the most respected labels in the game, he’s carved out a reputation for crafting high-energy, immersive tracks that balance raw weight with intricate detail. His latest single, NON-COMPOS MENTIS // CRED, dropping on Rockwell’s OBSOLETE MEDIUM, is yet another statement of intent—showcasing his versatility and commitment to pushing the sound forward.
We think the best way to get to know someone is always to look through their music collection. Today, we want to get to know ABLE, so we’ve asked him who his ones to watch are for 2025.
Stream ABLE’s latest release- NON COMPOS MENTIS / CRED here.
PARA
Something about PARA’s approach to minimal really scratches an itch for me. Saliva in particular, just has that funky stripped-back bounce, which you are gifted not just with Saliva, but across PARA’S back catalogue. Will always find a tune or two of his on my sticks.
Dan and I have been great pals since our surprise b2b at Thirty3hz for the first Front Left event last year, but my attention to his sonics was drawn way before. So eventually working on ‘Broken Promise’ together was a real treat for me. We have a wicked b2b coming up for WAH in the City, which I’m properly looking forward to and we plan to have more collab material before then.
Definitely one to watch. Rue has been making an impact over at Yamatai with his Parallel Introspection LP and I’m very much looking forward to hearing some more from him in the future. A great talent with a great talent for music.
Charis
Rolling beats and Rolling subs. I’m loving Charis’ output recently. Her track Momentous is a great example of a dark but soulful approach, resembling the likes of Monrroe and Sustance which makes a lot of sense as she worked with Shogun Audio in graduating from EQ50- and initiative which has produced some amazing talent since its inception.
For someone who doesn’t really consider himself a producer, he makes a wicked stripped-back roller. Heavily influenced by 90s hip hop, fused together with punchy drums and weighty low-end, AC curates dancefloor fillers! Above all else, he’s a world-class DJ, I owe a lot of what I know to him. Thanks, Lee!
