London-based duo Tainted Youth returns with a deeply resonant single, Drifting Away, blending emotive pop vocals with their signature take on Liquid Drum & Bass. First penned back in 2017, the track has resurfaced with new life—reworked and reimagined, capturing the essence of the group’s evolution both sonically and personally.
The song opens with a gentle vocal line, gradually building tension as the rhythm intensifies, eventually breaking into a textured, high-energy DnB drop. It’s a compelling juxtaposition: ethereal and raw, polished and intimate. The production—handled entirely in their home studio—speaks volumes of the duo’s DIY ethos and commitment to emotional authenticity.
Formed in 2021, Tainted Youth has already made waves across the UK scene, earning nominations like “Song of the Year” at the Future Hits Music Awards and performing at venues such as Ministry of Sound and The Troxy. “Drifting Away” is more than just a song—it’s a symbol of artistic continuity, rekindled from old lyrics and renewed purpose.
With a sonic palette that appeals to fans of Hybrid Minds and Venbee, this release cements Tainted Youth as a standout act in the emotionally charged DnB landscape.
