Our first release for 2026 is set to be a big one, brand new single from is OUT NOW 🟢
From the outset, ‘Trenches’ establishes a sense of tension. Rolling drums and tightly controlled basslines drive the track forward, while atmospheric layers give it scale without softening its edge. The production feels deliberate and focused, allowing space for D38’s vocals to sit front and centre without losing any of the track’s physical impact. It is a record built for both system pressure and repeat listens, balancing detail with directness.
D38’s performance anchors the track. His delivery is measured, grounded and unforced, bringing a level of realism that cuts through the intensity of the production. Rather than leaning into exaggeration, he keeps the tone direct and observational, reinforcing the track’s underlying weight. His approach reflects a wider catalogue built on perspective and honesty, capturing moments that feel lived rather than constructed.
For Goddard, ‘Trenches’ marks another step in a run of releases that continue to push Drum & Bass into new spaces. His ability to merge genres without losing identity is evident here, with Jungle textures, rap structure and cinematic progression all sitting within a cohesive framework. The result is a track that feels both current and durable, designed to connect across different audiences without compromising its core.
The collaboration also highlights the growing intersection between UK rap and Drum & Bass. Rather than treating the vocals as an add-on, ‘Trenches’ is built around it, allowing both artists to meet in a shared space that feels natural and fully realised.
Released via Rabbit Hole, the track continues the label’s focus on forward-thinking, artist-led music. As the imprint evolves, releases like ‘Trenches’ underline its role as a platform for records that prioritise identity, energy and long-term impact over short-term trends.
