Sub Focus has released his brand new album Contact out now via Casablanca Records. The highly anticipated record consists of 14 fiery, vocal-driven tracks by Sub Focus, with featured artists including Grimes, Fireboy DML, John Summit, Katy B, IRAH, bbyclose, Poppy Baskcomb, Connie Constance, Inez and more.
Contact marks another step forward in Sub Focus’ career. It merges electro, trance, dancehall and drum & bass influences with high profile collaborators who take his sound into brave new territory. The album’s tracklisting brings together a diverse group: tracks like “Entwined” featuring Grimes–which was tapped by Rolling Stone for their ‘Songs You Need To Know’–and “Original Don” with Fireboy DML showcase Sub Focus’ ability to combine big hooks and sci-fi production, while “Go Back” which to date has received over 151 million streams globally–blends John Summit’s progressive house sound with Sub Focus’ signature tempo shifts. His collaboration with Katy B “Push The Tempo” landed Sub Focus his first #1 US dance radio hit.
The creative direction for Contact – including the album artwork, vinyl packaging and imagery – was led by Sub Focus with acclaimed photographer Neil Krug and design agency Big Active. It plays on the themes of retro futurism, space race era technology and draws inspiration from the Golden Record sent into the cosmos on NASA’s Voyager mission in the 1970’s.
Contact is the fourth solo studio album by Sub Focus, following three Brit certified Silver albums: Sub Focus, Torus and 2023’s UK Top 40 album Evolve.
2025 has been a landmark year for Sub Focus. So far he has sold-out London’s Alexandra Palace and Los Angeles’ The Shrine with his ‘Circular Sound’ show, and performed his biggest-ever set at Glastonbury Festival, closing out their IICON stage. Earlier this fall, as part of the WORSHIP collective with Dimension, Culture Shock and 1991, he became the first ever drum & bass act to headline and sell out the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado. Sub Focus was also recently announced to perform at Coachella and Ultra Music Festival in 2026 as part of WORSHIP. Look for Sub Focus to celebrate the release of Contact by performing a sold-out show at famed London venue KOKO, tomorrow Saturday, November 22.
