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 offering 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 dnb 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 the perfect balance of minimal instrumental sections and emotive, layered vocals. Diving deeper into his discography, one discovers a common theme of minimal club energy, future bass, and trap all uniquely intertwined to create a distinct signature sound. Don’t sleep on ablon!.
Klo
With a style spanning 140, UKG, and bass house, Los Angeles-based producer Klo has been steadily taking over. Her tracks, such as ‘ROUND N’ ROUND’ alongside SVDKO, showcase a masterful combination of catchy vocals, shuffly hats, and heavy basslines. Klo is far from a one-hit wonder; her recent work, including ‘SAY SOMETHING’ and various high-profile reworks, proves she is a force to be reckoned with in 2026.
HLRTY
It’s pronounced HILARITY. This is the moniker behind the Palermo-born, Bologna-based producer who describes himself as “more of a craftsman than a producer.” HLRTY approaches club music from many different angles, focusing on technical minimalism and emotional expression. His work on the new compilation ITAITAITA, released by the collective *asterisco, highlights his unique position within the Italian bass scene.
LEWP
UK-based producer LEWP has long been a staple in the DnB scene, but his recent transition into 140 has been nothing short of impressive. Tracks like ‘Energy’ demonstrate his ability to blend iconic vocal samples with blistering basslines and snapping drums. Whether he is producing liquid DnB or grime-influenced flips, LEWP continues to push the envelope.
Raucous
Raucous has been shattering frequency ceilings for some time now. With releases on labels like Partica Artist Group and Dumb Collective, his work is defined by constant evolution and intricate sound design. From the violent energy of ‘PUMP IT’ to his tribute to LYNY, Raucous is proving himself to be one of the most exciting names in the electronic trap scene.
