Drum & bass stalwart Sub Focus has announced a brand new solo album, Evolve, which will release in May via EMI.
Evolve will include collaborations with dance music heavyweights Dimension, CamelPhat and Gene Farris, among others. The aptly titled 14-track album will take fans on a nostalgic adventure thanks to its '90s-inspired songs.
"Having grown up in the '90s, I was inspired to channel elements of my musical evolution over the course of this album," Sub Focus told NME. “From dance acts that introduced me to electronic music like The Chemical Brothers through to the early hardcore and jungle music I was discovering back then."
Before Sub Focus drops Evolve, he'll add a notch to his illustrious belt when he performs the biggest U.K. show of his career on March 18th at the fabled Wembley Arena.

"Drum & bass has never felt stronger or more popular as a genre and I’m proud to have been a part of such a thriving scene for so long," he added. "I’ve dabbled with multiple genres in the past but this time I wanted to make an album that speaks to my d&b core, with breakbeats laced through every track as a backbone."
In December, Sub Focus' seminal track "Turn Back Time" will turn 10 years old. The song joins many other generational dance anthems celebrating their decade milestone this year, like Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" and Calvin Harris' "I Need Your Love."
