by If you’re looking for a new artist to fall in love with, you’ve come to the right place. Focus Five Volume 89 showcases five unique producers pushing a wide array of sounds. We’ve got a Swedish producer fusing minimal club energy, future bass, and trap, an LA producer who is set to make 2026 her own, an Italian artist characterized as more of a craftsman than a producer, a drum and bass vet exploring some incredible 140, and a trap and bass artist that we are thrilled to feature. Get familiar below.
ablon!
ablon! first landed on our radar last year when his track ‘Andas’ appeared on Good Dub’s THE SOUND DESIGN CLUB II compilation. A young Swedish producer, ablon! creates a distinct signature sound by intertwining minimal club energy, future bass, and trap. His work is emotive, driving, and technically precise. Don’t sleep on ablon!.
Klo
With a style spanning 140, UKG, and House music, Los Angeles-based producer Klo has been steadily taking over. Her tracks, such as ‘ROUND N’ ROUND’ and ‘SAY SOMETHING,’ feature catchy vocals and heavy, shuffly basslines that are impossible to ignore. With support from some of the biggest names in Bass Music, expect to see Klo everywhere in 2026.
HLRTY
Pronounced “Hilarity,” this Palermo-born, Bologna-based artist describes himself as more of a craftsman than a producer. HLRTY approaches club music from various angles, focusing on technical minimalism and emotional expression. He is a co-founder of the collective *asterisco and recently featured on the compilation ITAITAITA.
LEWP
UK-based producer LEWP has made a name for himself in the DnB scene, but his recent foray into 140 is what truly demands attention. His track ‘Energy’ is a blistering anthem, while his liquid DnB flips showcase his versatility and minimal groove.
Raucous
Raucous has been shattering frequency ceilings with his mind-bending productions. Constantly evolving and filled with ear candy, his work is pushing the hip hop and electronic trap scene to new heights. Whether it’s his violent tune ‘PUMP IT’ or his tribute to LYNY, Raucous is an artist to watch closely this year.
