Delta Heavy, the renowned drum and bass duo, have marked a significant milestone in their career with the release of their third studio album, Midnight Forever. This album follows their earlier successes with 2016’s Paradise Lost and 2019’s Only In Dreams. With Midnight Forever, the duo looks forward while paying homage to their roots, weaving together influences from UK rave, melodic techno, indie rock, and blissful electronica. The result is their most sophisticated and mature work to date.
Leading up to the album’s release, Delta Heavy treated fans to a series of singles that have already made waves in the electronic music scene. Tracks like “Babylon” featuring YOU, “Bad Decisions” featuring Cameron Warren, “Punching Holes,” “Ecstasy,” and “Get Down Tonight” featuring Hayley May have collectively garnered millions of streams, solidifying Delta Heavy’s place both in the underground and in the wider electronic music landscape. Hayley May also returns for the album’s final single, “Never Alone.”
Midnight Forever boasts an impressive array of collaborations, featuring rising stars in the DnB world like Grafix and Subsonic, as well as vocalists Lauren L’aimant, Ethan Holt, and Jazmine Johnson. The album has received widespread acclaim, with support from influential tastemakers and major radio stations including BBC Radio 1, George FM, and Kiss FM.
Delta Heavy explained “Midnight Forever encapsulates everything that has brought us to this point: every club, festival, and rave; every hour in the studio, whether frustrating or fruitful; every high and low on this wild journey. It is a tapestry of diverse influences and personal experiences that have guided our musical path. Having experimented with various genres in the past, we see Midnight Forever as our ode to drum and bass, a love letter to the music that captured our hearts as underage teenagers exploring the London scene. The process of writing this album has been cathartic, providing a space for introspection at home and hedonism on the dancefloor. We are immensely proud of the music on Midnight Forever and invite listeners to experience it with us, hoping to offer a timeless escape in a complicated world. The album seeks to create a world where the night never ends, a place of magic and mischief that marks the beginning of a new dawn for us.”
This year, Delta Heavy debuted Midnight Forever live across major cities and summer festivals in Europe, North America, New Zealand, and Australia. Now, they are set to embark on the largest global tour of their career, offering fans an all-new visual experience that delves deep into the world of Midnight Forever. This tour promises to be a defining moment for the duo as they continue to push the boundaries of their sound and stage presence.
