POLITEK: ISLAND I held it back to ride the wave of Christmas parties, late nights and last-minute shopping chaos. It’s a euphoric, head-in-the-clouds rush that lifts you way up. There’s an instrumental version for those of you who prefer your beats straight-up.

POLITEK: ISLAND Hi everyone — hope you’re enjoying the run-up to Christmas. Today I’m putting out my final release of 2025, and it’s a proper banger! ISLAND was the first Trance track I wrote as POLITEK, way back in early summer.

Dubstar at 30: WEEK IN WEEK OUT Jesmond Demo Week In Week Out - the great Dubstar collage. A verse drafted in a different band, a chorus scribbled on the back of a school note book, a pinch of poetry, a beat from somewhere else, suddenly it worked. 1/4

DUBSTAR at 30: Disgraceful GDR demo The sessions took place in the front room of Graeme’s terraced house in Darlington — cramped, occasionally tense, but charged with possibility. We didn’t realise it, but those recordings marked a turning point for us. 2/4

DUBSTAR at 30: Stars hits the charts On this day in 1995, Dubstar crept into the UK Top 40 for the first time. Our first appearance in any chart, anywhere. The start of a path that led to an album called Disgraceful, and somewhat improbably, seven more hits after that. 1/6
