Atomic Funk

Danny Byrd, Hospital Records’ stalwart and drum & bass innovator, returns with Atomic Funk, his first album in five years. With 15 explosive tracks, it’s a full-throttle homage to his jungle roots, wrapped in the 174BPM energy he’s known for. Byrd has already lit up 2018 with standouts like “Devil’s Drop,” “Salute” featuring MC GQ, and “Hold Up The Crown” featuring Ky Lenz; now, Atomic Funk amplifies the momentum, delivering dancefloor anthems that effortlessly blend hip-hop, R&B, and rave vibes.

Collaborations with I-Kay, Maduk, Ownglow, Times x Two, and MC GQ inject fresh perspectives into Byrd’s signature sound. Highlights include “Holy Star” with MC Foxy, a future classic primed to become a drum & bass mainstay, and “Just A Step Away” featuring Ownglow, which has quickly become Byrd’s DJ set knockout. Its lush vocals, searing rave synths, and rolling sub-bass prove irresistible.

But Byrd keeps the hits coming: “Roll The Drums” shakes with sub-bass intensity and thunderous percussion, while “Starting It Over” featuring Hannah Symons taps into raw jungle energy. With Atomic Funk, Danny Byrd has crafted a feel-good tour de force that’s a must for any drum & bass enthusiast. This is Byrd in his element—invigorating, nostalgic, and essential.
