Danny Byrd Brings D Double E Back To His D&B Roots With Dancefloor Heater "Selecta"


October 18, 2021

Drum & bass producer, DJ and icon Danny Byrd joins forces with rap veteran D Double E in this new single dubbed "Selecta".

Fusing elements of D&B, frantic jungle rhythms and funky horn samples, Byrd creates a high energy atmosphere that keeps the track going at full tilt to the very end. Lovers of D&B may recognise the central sample from Smokey Joe's 1995 track "Smokin Hornz", which Byrd weaves into the track to give the track that added energetic burst.

It goes without saying that D Double E is a legend in the grime scene, but it's worth remembering that the Newham General first cut his teeth spitting over jungle in the late '90s. Returning to his roots to set pace with some playful bars and quick-fire flows, the new collaboration marks a full-circle moment for MC and producer alike.

Guaranteed to light up clubs and dancefloors in an instant, get familiar with it below.

Updated on November 26: the official video has now landed.
