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 this rising talent.
Klo
With a style spanning 140, UKG, and House, Los Angeles-based producer Klo has been steadily taking over. Her tracks, such as ‘ROUND N’ ROUND,’ feature a potent combination of catchy vocals, shuffly percussion, and heavy basslines that are guaranteed to move a crowd. With significant support from major names in Bass Music, expect to see Klo everywhere in 2026.
HLRTY
Pronounced “Hilarity,” HLRTY is a Palermo-born, Bologna-based artist who describes himself as more of a craftsman than a producer. He approaches club music from various angles, avoiding genre confinement. His work is an exercise in technical minimalism, pouring his identity and experiences into every beat. He is currently making waves with the new compilation ITAITAITA.
LEWP
UK-based producer LEWP has established a strong reputation in the drum and bass scene, but his recent foray into 140 has been particularly impressive. Tracks like ‘Energy’ showcase his ability to craft blistering anthems with chopped vocals and hypnotic leads. Whether it is liquid drum and bass or grime-influenced flips, LEWP continues to deliver high-quality production.
Raucous
Raucous has been shattering frequency ceilings with his mind-bending productions. Constantly evolving, his work is filled with intricate sound design that keeps listeners engaged. By pushing the electronic trap scene forward with releases on labels like Partica Artist Group, Raucous is proving to be one of the most exciting and underrated talents in the game today.
